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

i was hoping Kovy would be slow, but savvy; but he seems to make terrible decisions

 

[Carlzner]

Pretty funny hearing the bench giving it to Cernak when he got leveled there

 

[max21]

Kuzy looked sweet there

Kuzy looked sweet there

Thats May 2018 Kuzy right there.

 

[RandyHolt]

I assume preseason ended.

Love me some Dillon

 

[Corby78]

Good kuzy engaged. Wish he wouldn’t have gotten Backy hooked on blow, he looks awful

They were fine when he had his legs 10 years ago.

Kuzy and Ovy look like they care.

They aren’t going to go very far if this is the Backstrom that shows up.

Would be unfortunate as last year Backstrom showed up and Kuznetsov didnt

 

[Langway]

Yeah, is Backstrom ever slow.

 

[McVechkin]

Kovy needs to simplify. 3 ozone turnovers in last 2 shifts

 

[kicksavedave]

Yeah, is Backstrom ever slow.

He's never been fast, but he used to be sure with the puck. Not so much right now.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I miss Brooks Orpik. I said it.

 

[RandyHolt]

I have been waiting for a scrum for 4 months.

Cut to the bench

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I'm not too worried about players who are engaged and aren't right now. It's the first meaningful game in a very strange environment, some guys are going to need some time to get going.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I wouldn’t mind flipping Eller and Backstrom

I think Nick could help Kovy get going

 

[aonb]

coleman is pretty meh in tampa

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I love that there are no nets around the glass so we don't get any of the "is it out?" dilemmas, that's a nice positive I didn't consider about finless games.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He's never been fast, but he used to be sure with the puck. Not so much right now.

4 months off can hurt the hands

 

[Carlzner]

Well we're about to be without Eller for at least 2 weeks

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Well we're about to be without Eller for at least 2 weeks

2 weeks? Mike Trout missed like one game for child birth

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

lol Wilson like "Ah f*** it, I ain't playing in 3 v 3 anyways."

 

[Jarias2311]

Great point

 

[Corby78]

Siegs getting chippy

 

[max21]

Wilson wants a part of anyone, I love that man
