Post-Game Talk: Holtbeast vs a crew cut Carrot Top: Caps @ Devils 1:07 PM

Thumbs up to Laich for his penalty kill in OT and his overall play. That's what we need from him. Ovi was clutch throughout the game. Made a key defensive play in the 1st, ended a 2:30 shift in the Caps zone with arguably the hit of the year and wins it in the shootout. Holtby was sharp today.

2 pts, next!

Laich's going to score soon. He's due.

When did Carlson become so slow? Ugh

When was he fast? He's slower than Orlov, Schmidt, Alzner, and Nisky.

Don't forget about Chorney

Wowza

 

[Calicaps]

Am I correct that they still don't have 2 consecutive regulation losses?

Correct

 

[Calicaps]

Correct

Holy cow.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Holy cow.

The most has been one regulation and an OT loss. They also mentioned today no 3 losses in a row of any kind. This team has some great potential they REALLY need to realize.

For as great a year Holts has had, Schneider's numbers looked damn good as well

**** NHL.tv
Tried watching the game after I got home, but every time the stream got to a commercial break, it would jump back to the beginning. Huge PITA. Gave up and watched the highlights instead. Calling up customer service on Monday to demand my money back.

Oshie must have taught Ovie that

It's pretty much the Hendricks move.

and you all nearly beat us. do us a favor and keep the pens out

The best thing would be if the Pens make the playoffs finishing anywhere from 2/3 in the Metro, or the 1st wildcard spot (so the Caps don't have to play them). I think the Rangers or the Panthers would beat them. That combined with the loss of their first rounder would be the best possible outcome.

People wanting them to miss the playoffs aren't seeing the bigger picture.


p.s. MOST of this is tongue in cheek, they are playing really well now.

I'd take that in the playoffs

Finally got NHL.tv working over here, and the phone app is better. But the apple.tv and website are still off/on. It's almost like it uses more bandwith and it struggles to load the games sometimes.

I couldnt imagine being a Devils fan...they play some really boring hockey.

I've been on these boards a long time and IMHO the Devils fans hear are the most measured of all the fan boards. That said I'm forever scarred by 90s Devils inspired clutch and grab hockey and so the least team I ever want to watch play.

Other than opening night issues the android phone app is definitely a step up. PC is worse than the previous incarnation. Chromecast seems about the same quality. Don't think its getting the 60fps as well as the PC.

Eh, doesn't look as tough as it once did. The Wild are in free fall, the Stars are a normal team again, Nashville is on the outside looking in... but I am super pumped for that Kings game. I imagine that one will garner a lot of attention around the hockey world.
