Post-Game Talk: Hockey's Back! G1: Caps @ Sabres | 1/13/21 | 7:00p ET

It's weird watching preseason games that count. Happy for the points, I think the framework looks really good and the D looks even better than expected, but the rust is apparent and Samsonov isn't quite sharp yet. I don't think we've observed anything that isn't basically a preseason "concern" that generally irons out so far.

-1.5 +180 Winner chicken dining

 

[kicksavedave]

Hmmm

 

[Devil Dancer]

Schultz may play more when they're behind.

1-0-0 under Lavy!

I think TJ was trying to get the puck to Ovie on the last rush with the open net.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Did Dilly actually get that goal? I thought Sheary got a stick in it.

Jensen continued his strong play from last season.

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

TOI on D. Carlson, Chara, Jensen over 20. Schultz with the least. Didnt see that coming

Someone smart told you Dillon-Schultz is the 3rd pair

 

[McVechkin]

Lot of positives out there... lot of crap to clean up.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I think it's the fact that Joe B and Locker are working remotely and can't see everything, but man the lack of energy in the booth was palpable.

 

[RandyHolt]

I'll give Dillon 3rd star for 2/3's a Gordie

My bet of a Goal before a minor paid BIG

No crowd. No energy

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I don't like this dude either.

Jensen's strong play from the end of last season has definitely carried over. Glad they didn't trade him away, even when it seemed like he was the odd one out. It's nice to know that he can probably step up into the 2RD role as needed, especially when protecting a lead.

 

[Corby78]

play like Todd we suck....

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Entertaining game for first game of the season. Offense looking to be alive and active. I don't like the new postgame show.

[hockeykicker]

this is really cool

 

[Langway]

Chara a +2 in his debut.

All hail this War God version of Jeff Schultz.

 

[tenken00]

Lavi is so cheesy its so cool

 

[WanderingCapsFan]

2 lost years under Todd...............

[kicksavedave]

Guess we can chalk it up to our own rust, but....


2 pts!

We got some things to tighten up, but the Sabres deserve some credit. They have a lot of quick strike firepower. Gonna get to know them real well since we play them 3 more times over a little more than a week.

 

[kicksavedave]

Not at all subtle dig at Todd. Not even trying to hide it.
