Post-Game Talk: Ovi's 700 Club vs Gilligan's Isles

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Can we trade coaches?

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Mix up the forward lines some.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Can you we get some new vet coaches please!

This. I’ve never been a big Todd fan but I’m not sure he is the problem. Try replacing Cashman and Forsythe first.

 

[Capsman]

I know that there are relationships at stake, but if I'm Reirden I would start by bringing someone in to work with the defensemen and "help" Cashman.

 

[Pomee]

Backstrome again with zero defence, leaving his guy open.
Does he realize he is a center?

 

[Firsov99]

My hope is that 1st and 2nd line are saving them for the playoffs.
Otherwise we are screwed!

We had the same discussion last year. About the team saving itself for the playoffs. And we know how it turned out.

A defensive “consultant”.

When the Caps press on offense, the defense gets worse. This team is beginning to look like the Boudreau teams with guys like Jurcina and Schultz manning the blue line.

 

[Pomee]

Oviiiii!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Of course the game blacks out the second we score

 

[chilimac]

hope that was ovi's

 

[SherVaughn30]

699?!

 

[McVechkin]

Hard to tell who that went off of

I would give Brooks Orpik a shot

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Its Carlsons.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Fever looks to be struggling a bit.

 

[Pomee]

It looked like Komarov was holding Fever's stick.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I would give Brooks Orpik a shot

I would settle for Orpik suiting up. The team is missing his leadership IMO.

 

[Langway]

Fever looks to be struggling a bit.

I have no idea why they insist on playing him with Orlov and moving Orlov over. It smacks of their pointless post-Kempny non-sense shuffling last year.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

For the love of god.

 

[Pomee]

Cmon Orlov, that was awful...

 

[SpinningEdge]

Reirdon look like his adjustments worked again. Team definitely listened to him and are doing better. Only 3 goals first 18 mins against... right?

 

[GoCaps2004]

what piss poor defending

 

[peterthegreat12]

The defense is so god damn bad. Their gaps are bad, hell it is all bad. Also, why is Todd putting a Ovi and Nicky our together on a 4 on 4? Way too slow for that at this point in their career.
