Post-Game Talk: Qualifying Round Game 1: Caps vs Bolts | Mon, 8/3 | 4p ET

[CapitalsCupReality]

Its like we have forgotten that hockey games have:=

1. Periods of sloppy play
2. Periods of disinterested play
3. Greasy goals by skilled players
4. Fights by players who can also score
5. Changes in momentum

Demands to fire the coach after items 1-4.

im disappointed we didn’t get to Fire Todd after 2-0.

There is still time, only 40 mins gone

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Kind of wish we had two exhibition games. I would have loved to see what McMichael has in him, playing him on the 3rd line could be intriguing.

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

BTW....Wilson is top 6 too

For the record I hate it when Wilson takes himself out of the game unless it's absolutely necessary as well.


I don't think the Oshie thing is that bad (it obviously worked). I just have a pet peeve with top 6 forwards taking a 5 minute sin bin visit when you're losing a relatively tight game. I also am very concerned for Oshie's health, as you mentioned, he's pretty irreplaceable.

 

[tenken00]

Oh wow. I guess switch is flipped!

 

[max21]

If Oshie goes to Seattle like some people are saying I’ll be so sad

 

[905PENS]

All tied up, hope ur boys win

I hate Tampa.. And i love ovie ...I used to hate him but I only Hated him cuz of the Crosby vs ovie..But now I'm happy to say I get to watch one of the best players of all time. And seeing him win the cup was amazing

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I really want this at least to get to OT for a loser points

Must avoid the 4 seed

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

There is no such thing as 110%, Locker.

Yeah I really wanted to see him also, I guess they’re just bringing him along to get the NHL experience?

he did say "if that's even possible" haha

 

[HeyMattyB]

That quote really was the high point of the Laich era.

Haha I mean say what you will about the man (and there's plenty to say, lol!), but that is a really good hockey quote.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Shoot that ovie

 

[Jarias2311]

2nd line has been horrendous today

 

[kicksavedave]

Some nice forechecking here.

 

[TRASHCAT]

omg this second line

 

[Corby78]

Wow that scrum at the net was closer than I thought

 

[EroCaps]

When did Backstrom become a turnover machine?

 

[kicksavedave]

Wow that scrum at the net was closer than I thought

If they had scored there, it would have been three goals by a total of 6 inches.

 

[The Instigator]

We've been so close to like half a dozen too many men calls.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

When did Backstrom become a turnover machine?

Check contract extension

 

[Corby78]

After the last 20-30ish minutes I’m ok if they lose this just don’t get hurt. Just need to make sure we don’t take half a game to wake up

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The second line is awful tonight.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Kuz looking good
