Post-Game Talk: Islanders @ Capitals Game 5 7pm 4/23/15

As kuz gets gains more strength and experience, he is just going to explode in production. The kid oozes skill.

Kuz, Burakovsky and Vrana are a tremendously skilled trio of youngsters. They are going to be dynamite for this team going forward.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Just got back from the game. Awesome.

I wonder if Tom Wilson bought or is just renting the real estate in the Islanders heads? Clutterbuck is a straight up *****.

Don't forget Galiev !

Kuz: "Right now I stay here and you guys all watching me like I’m a celebrity. But not. Whole team celebrity today."

I love this kid.

 

[TheFountainhead]

Don't forget Galiev !

Definitely looking forward to watching his development as well. Was impressed with the little I saw from him during his call up.

My favourite moment of Kuzma this season :

Had to work, only caught highlights.

Can someone give me cliffs on buttercups going after Laich? Was it ugly or just annoying?

Annoying. He was just slashing Laich on the back of the leg before the face-off. Ref saw that, kicked him out. Clutterbuck is trash.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Damn, I missed the game, or, as it appeared from the highlights, The Evgeny Kuznetsov Show!

 

[Slappy]

That was Martin

 

[Ovechado]

Imagine if we hadn't made the trade. Mother of dragons.

But we still played one helluva game and I look to finish them off on Saturday.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

That was Martin

True, my bad.

C-Buck was annoying too.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Winning is great. Watching the only high-functioning part of the Isles' game fall apart is awesome.

 

[pocketrockets]

Can't believe they haven't posted the times for game 6 yet...

 

[Blades of Steel]

Can't believe they haven't posted the times for game 6 yet...

it will be at 3 p.m. (pretty sure of it)

I believe i read that if chicago won it was 8 p.m. and if they lost 3 p.m.

no idea if true.

 

[Dream Big]

Annoying. He was just slashing Laich on the back of the leg before the face-off. Ref saw that, kicked him out. Clutterbuck is trash.

I think it was actually Gleason that he slashed on the back of the leg. Gleason wisely did not retaliate. Well played Gleason.

 

[Bure]

It's 3pm.

 

[FloridaCap]

My god, Kuznetsov was incredible tonight. I could tell right from puck drop he was going to make a difference. 2 goals, could have had like 4. I can't wait for him to hit his NHL prime... he is going to be scary. Every bit as good as Tarasenko, albeit a different type of player.

Now kick their ***** in Game 6 and let's wrap this round up early.

edit: just put 2 and 2 together and noticed... No Brouwer on his line, and Kuznetsov looks great. What a coincidence!

 

[Hivemind]

3pm? I have to chose between the Capitals and the FIRST championship finals? Ugh. Noooo.

 

[CapsJunkie]

Kuzz wuzz nasty tonight

Great win, and very happy that Kuz played well and finally got rewarded for it.

With Backstrom, Kuz, Alzner, Carlson, Holtby, the Caps look to be set at the important positions for a long time. And Ovi of course, hopefully they can get the other pieces in order -- and in time to help him win a Cup.

Bura also has brought much-needed creative energy to the bottom 6. Understandably he is not yet quite in the zone like Kuz, but after he showed what he can do at the start of the season, I never really doubted that he'll end up a solid top-6 player. So it's fun to see him getting there.

And damn you, McPhee. The hockey equivalent of some villain in a Greek epic

 

[JenniferH]

That was such an awesome joy of a game to watch. And that we actually won 5-1 without a single goal or assist from 8 or 19 really says something about Trotz and this team. I love it. Also, it has to be said... Kuzy was AMAZING!

Finally, amin723, you called it!

let them target the players. We'll target the goal.

I fully expect a 5-1 thrashing by the Caps while the Islanders run around with salty tears in their eyes.

If you knew that trading a future Calder candidate and playoff hat trick guy was a bad move, you would be in hockey.
