Post-Game Talk: Hockey Game 1 of 10 - 7:00ish ET

Sammy with a great game. So what do I do with my “our goalies don’t make big saves” take? I came prepared tonight and I didn’t get to use it...

If it's Isles, I'd go with Sammy.

 

[Corby78]

I keep hearing that name. Must be a good player...

He did score more goals than either these teams tonight....

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Huge game for Sammy.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Like I said after last game. Time to ride sammy. Big game goalies find a way to win games. Vitek is a nice goalie but he's not in the same atmosphere as sammy when it comes to talent.

Aisles in 3rd place now. Pgh slipped past them.

Bruins 2 back of them with 2 games in hand. Whole division is a toss up.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Kuzy had a nice game even aside from the SO winner. He had one great shift in particular in the third.

Weird seeing him be overly conservative when he came off in OT.

That felt like a PO game.

Lavi would've lost his mind if Kuzy chased the puck down after a 3 min shift for Carlson. There's a 100% chance that it would lead to a breakaway in the other direction.

bring the 2nd and 3rd period play to the playoffs and were winning the cup. book it.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

come playoff time that's one game closer to eliminating the opposition. Good tough win.

 

[txpd]

That was just awful. A best of 7 between these 2 might kill me

 

[kmart]

most important win of the season, big win. samsonov was strong when the caps needed him the first. one step closer to that precious home ice advantage

 

[max21]

Shutout by Sammy, can’t say I called that or anything @Calicaps

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Shutout by Sammy, can’t say I called that or anything @Calicaps

If you bet on it on draftkings please brag. If not dont do it again

I prefer a hard fought game that remains tied into OT than the games where we continuously blow 3 goal leads. I thought we could've had a goal or two in the 3rd but Varly was a brick wall.

 

[notDkristich]

Smelt like, felt like, played like a playoff game. That was fun.

 

[troyerlaw]

Especially impressed with Sammy, Jensen, Hagelin, and Raffl tonight. Orlov and Sheary too, even though 73 missed that one at the back door

 

[shtorm2005]

Win and stuff. Let’s go 1-0 today.

We have a winner!

Gotta give credit, both keepers were insane tonight. Glad we got the 2.

Not much of hitting though for a playoffs game.

 

[Marshall]

If it wasn't decided before, sure feels like Sammy just grabbed hold of the #1 spot...

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Sammy seems to play well against the NYI. Big win and nice to see the Rangers lose.

 

[Holtbyisms]

If it's Isles, I'd go with Sammy.

If it's anybody I'm going with Sammy. He's the stud goalie.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

We needed this on the island!

 

[TRASHCAT]

lol kuzy was the interview guest for the isles

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Well with the way the refs have been calling games this year, neither team wants their Wilsons and their Clutterbucks getting kicked out of the game and suspended.

 

[troyerlaw]

Hat trick for vrana
