Post-Game Talk: Pre-season game 3 vs Flyers

[Sticktape]

Geisser has been decent.

Is there NHL upside to this player?

 

[tenken00]

If it's an expected delay they just roll the time on to the beginning of the third, although in the preseason they may just scrap it for kicks since it doesn't matter.

I want a refund for the 2:57 mins of gametime! Lol

I'll take a hotdog. I'll pay for shipping.

 

[tenken00]

Nevermind. Game on for rest of 2nd. Guess they just went to intermission early like @HTFN said.

 

[HTFN]

Wow, Fever just worked Giroux over hard.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Kempny on the ice for another goal.

 

[HTFN]

Just look at Samsonov there. He can't stop throwing himself out of his own crease and he doesn't even have his balance. I'm not a hater of his but that shit needs fixed, I keep waiting for coaching to get it under control and it's just not happening.

edit: Protas is an NHL player. Don't know when, may only end up as Brian Boyle, but he's got it.

 

[tenken00]

Kempny on the ice for another goal.

Yea. We already knew that Kempny-Schultz might be a problem. Both are getting pushed around/can't move guys out. I can't imagine the two being paired together once the season starts.

 

[Eirikrautha]

On the plus side, Jensen looks pretty good...

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Protas is the best forward on the ice tonight for the Caps...sorry Mantha and Kuznetsov.

 

[HTFN]

The f*** was that shit? Chuck Brassard, that's trash.

EDIT: oh, I thought Provorov dropped gloves instead of just acting like he wanted to

 

[Superc0nducter]

Does Brassard get a third man in penalty there, or is he spared due to Provorov not dropping his gloves?

 

[Eirikrautha]

So, Hathaway lines up Proverov and ... misses. Proverov punches Hath in the face, and they go. Brassard is third man in to a fight his own player started, and somehow to the Philly announcers this is a "good" thing? LOL!

Agreed on Sammy he relies to much on his athleticism instead of just staying in position.

also agree on Protas he looks like he’s learning each game how to use his size and protect the puck better

 

[Cappy76]

Brassard gets nothing? How’s that even up?

Yeah I have noticed that a lot with Sammy. He tries using his good reflexes and over plays his angle. Not sure what goalie coach Scott Murray is doing to help him fix it.

He also does this "smart player" thing where he keeps his upper body rigid and uses his pivots to whip passes around, which leaves his hands free to sort of opt out of that motion at any time. It gives him a ton of options and a lot of incompletions tonight have been teammates not prepared for the puck, so as they adjust you'd expect those to become scoring chances.

Well Keith Jones commended Ristolainen by making that hit instead of going for the puck at the end of the first period that led to a Grade A scoring chance for the Caps which easily could have been scored. "I'll take that every time" he said lol.

 

[HTFN]

I don't think Mantha and Kuznetsov work. I don't know what it is but they don't have an intuitive thing at all.

EDIT: next shift, same story. They don't work

 

[Eirikrautha]

And prime Kuzy resurfaces...

 

[SherVaughn30]

I know it's preseason, but the refs are shit with their obvious non-calls.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Kuzy is in prime not giving a sh*t form.

 

[Coldplay619]

Kempny is so so so bad.

 

[SherVaughn30]

I have seen enough from Sammy. He aint anywhere better than Vanecek. I'll be content with Vanecek being the #1, as he works hard even though he's the less skilled goalie.

 

[Eirikrautha]

Kuzy is in prime not giving a sh*t form.

Yeah... that's what I said...

 

[Superc0nducter]

I've been watching on mute. Will there be shootout practice after this one?
