Post-Game Talk: Philly @ The Washington Anthony Manthanys | 7p ET | NBCSW

Niklas was the goalie

Hence the insert joke statement

 

[Revelation]

Martha at LW. Interesting.

The Erat gambit. GMBM going retro

Ovechkin - Kuznetsov - Wilson
Sheary - Backstrom - Mantha
Sprong/Raffl - Eller - Oshie
Hagelin - Dowd - Hathaway
Sprong/Raffl.

is there a more rugged group of RW’s than that! Holy smokes!!!

These are the lines I thought they would go with

 

[Neil Racki]

Was thinking today, is Hagelin even still fast or have I just been telling myself that for two years?

He certainly moves his legs fast and swings his arms .. hes a very demonstrative skater when chasing a puck

I think hes pretty fast, for us at least.

I was just looking at Nick's passes from the half wall to Oshie on the PP. So understated but his little movements open up the passing lane
He doesnt look like he puts any effort into it at all.

Last game I think, they were on the PP and you could see NB with the puck in his spot and Ovie in his spot, and NB clearly thinking about the pass through like 5-6 guys and a forest of skates/legs/sticks. Of course he did it. I don't think Joe and Craig even noticed, might have been talking about food or something.

That first one from Backie to Oshie on the PP.... Watch it closely, looks off then and waits for the defender (17) to wave his stick then threads the pass right where the stick used to be. He's only done that 200 other times before in his career. Just sick setup and anticipation.

Weird to watch highlights with such a loud crowd.. can’t wait for that again

I want to give Mantha some games to learn the team and system and stuff. I have no expectations tonight

 

[Neil Racki]

Flyers - 4 pts back from 4th place bruins, tied with NYR

are they giving up? Feel like we havent seen them in a while but they should be super hungry

4-6 in their last 10

Caps favored to win -155 (-1.5)

Were all excited about our new toy and processing Vrana gone ...

On another subject. Have the Flyers killed Carter Hart?

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Let's go Martha!

On another subject. Have the Flyers killed Carter Hart?

Carter Hart (8-11-5, 3.79 GAA, .872 SV%, 1 SO) vs. Ilya Samsonov (9-3-1, 2.97 GAA, .894 SV%, 1 SO)
Hart has been in a nosedive and has dropped each of his past seven starts with his last win coming on the road against the New York Islanders March 18. He has posted a 1-2-0 record, 3.63 GAA and .883 SV% in three appearances against the Capitals.

Samsonov has coughed up four or more goals in each of his past four appearances but is 2-2 in that span. While he has been struggling lately, facing the Flyers might snap him out of it. He is 3-0-0 with a 2.67 GAA and .922 SV% in three starts against Philadelphia this season.

Agreed. Just effort and being engaged on all 200 ft

[CapitalsCupReality]

Larkin is really, really good. Just stuck on a poor team. No need to trash him.

If a straight up trade was offered, I'd have to at least think about it. Save some cap space and get someone comparable.

That being said, I am happy with Backstrom. Him and Ovie are best buds and chemistry is important. I hope Backstrom remains a lifelong Cap.

not trashing Larkin, but the comparison isn’t there today. Now of you want to factor in age and contract you could make an argument for the younger guy, but that wasn’t what was said.

What does a LD have to do to-get some relief around here??? Geez

I understand that people bristled at the idea of Larkin being equal to Backstrom. That, I do not believe. Backstrom is the better player, overall.

The point was that I brought up the idea of trading them straight across and factored in the salary cap and age. I think that idea could at least be entertained even if not acted on.

Would you trade Eichel straight across for Backstrom?
