Post-Game Talk: Oklahoma City Thunder @ Washington Capitals 5:07PM start

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Chintzy.

 

[mad4comp]

Not sure... Cost of the timeout.

But suddenly Caps not winning puck battles in the D zone.

It's worth it. but unfortunately we'd rather let them drop the puck and let TBL keep the momentum going.

 

[aonb]

bad feelings, hope the can kill this PP

 

[Corby78]

oh boy here we go. big pk here

 

[Calicaps]

Weak call.

 

[g00n]

up 4-0 in the 3rd you don't really care about losing the timeout and you should want to protect the shutout. Trotz has to challenge that first goal

 

[Calicaps]

Nice by 83

 

[Corby78]

I didn't see anything worth pissing a time out over. We might want it here in the last minute

 

[hockeykicker]

if they had won 4-0, there would have been nothing for some people here to complain about

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Nice win.

Does Holtby play tomorrow night considering there are 4 days off until the next game?

 

[Calicaps]

Don't like this last 20 one bit, especially with a game tomorrow. Caps making this too damned hard on themselves by just getting lazy and letting up.

Edit: 2 points, so ok. Maybe this will serve as a reminder no to take anything for granted. Cough - Toronto - cough.

 

[sycamore]

Still one of their most complete games of the year. Withstood the Tampa pressure at the end.

 

[Holtbyisms]

two mo point boys Go caps go. Look at NYR, we're coooming.

Yea cuz that timeout came in handy in the last 5 minutes while they were buzzing all over.

 

[Corby78]

well we outplayed them for 50 or so minutes, thankfully that 10 minute stretch didn't cost us a point. Good win

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Disappointing to see them let off the gas after the Oshie goal.

In a way, that might better. More teachable moments.

Don't get your panties in a bunch. There wasn't anything to challenge so why bother. We had a penalty in the last 5 minutes only up 2. I think having the timeout was a good thing. Just because we didn't use it doesn't mean we should have challenged somewhere in the game.

Right. If they'd thought there was a winnable challenge they likely would've tried it.

 

[Carlzner]

Kuz is being interviewed on NHL Tonight right now.

Weekes asked him what the biggest reason for his improvement this season was and Kuz, of course, replied that it's his teammates.

I don't mind. I was fearing a huge letdown game against the Leafs tomorrow night. At least now Trotz has something to lay into them about.

I'll be at the game tomorrow night.

Go Caps!

I'd rather go 4-0 this week than 4-0 this game!

Well said. I've been a fan of both the Leafs and Caps since 1982. Born in Toronto and probably my 8th or 9th time seeing the Caps live.

 

[sycamore]

Actually, I say that, but I think it was vastly more important that they send the Lightning a message this game. Which they did convincingly, even with the small hiccup at the end.

I was thinking that earlier in the day. Make a statement that this year's team is different than the one from last season.

It would be nice if the minimalist thread starter posts the odd start times in the title
