Killorn was putting on a clinic there, board battle wise

For all the Holtby haters have you not noticed since he has gone back to his old style of play he is back to playing much better? Kolzig may be a decent goalie coach but I think he is against his will implementing Oates stupid style.
I have confidence in him and Grubauer going forward and sign a cheap veteran back up use the extra money for the D and leave Grub in Hersey to get lots of games and experience to move up the year after.

He never ****ing changed his style. He was constantly going far out to challenge shots and losing his net.

And Stamkos easily nudged Penner off puck to keep the puck in TBL possession

Yes, you can't lay everything on coaches. At a certain point, a guy either performs or doesn't. Most of this year, Holtby didn't.

Nice to see him back in form recently, though. Encouraging for the future.

 

[Corby78]

I guess it would be fitting to head to a SO for our last game....

 

[troyerlaw]

Leblanc looks like a beer-league player

Without a doubt. You could literally see to the day when Kolzig finally unleashed him from the bizarre Oates methods.

A method so bizarre, it was enough to make our goaltender coach quit in protest before the season started, as we all just learned.

loved 43 bum rushing the D-man who was trying to contain puck at the line. that was awesome. that was GIF-worthy

 

[Fallschirmyager]

last 3 games plus so far today; 123/129 95.3% 1.62 GAA. Not to bad.

When the games actually matter this is off the charts. When it's just playing out the string it's not.

Absolutely. I was just thinking the same thing.

Agreed. Watching Wilson and Orlov is the only reason I have been peaking in on games to close out the year.

Mind blowing that Orlov didn't start the season with the big club...


This ****ing season just won't ****ing end!!!!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

the season isnt over yet

 

[troyerlaw]

Mind blowing that Orlov didn't start the season with the big club...

this, big time

Not that we'd have been better but he certainly would have. I wonder how much was Oates decision not to play him and GMGM playing games with his contract.

 

[usiel]

The most snore-fest game of the year.

 

[Langway]

Fitting that they'll end up picking in the purgatory position.

 

[JenniferH]

And of course we're going to OT for the last game. Of course we are.

 

[Marshall]

This is the game the Caps deserve, not the one they need.

 

[troyerlaw]

Radko Gudas. Picking Ovie's pocket. Okay then.

 

[JenniferH]

Come on Caps get that goal!

 

[RandyHolt]

Oates gives Wilson 4 on 4 time. This must be some mistake.

 

[Carlzner]

We should get Ted's son to browse HFboards.

 

[foundhockey]

SO. Fitting end to the last game.
