It was a clean check in the middle of the ice against the softest player in the nhl ha

When frustration with team turns into three blind likes.

Hathaway only guy standing up to them in the 3rd. Can we clone him?

Hathaway should have been doing this for all 2 games … seems like he just started like the Hathaway we know this period

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Great example of just how important Wilson is to this team.

Silver lining to a bad playoff loss: it lets me know which names I need to put back on my HFB ignore list, lol.

Lol you are not going to let this go ..

Mojo slide a good bit before hitting the boards, hit from side … but that’s how I saw it

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Caps were good for half the game. After that they kinda look like they folded. Also, Oshie and Backstrom got wayyyyyy too much ice time.

You act like either of these things can’t mean Boarding…

I don’t see Vanecek starting Game 3.

 

[troyerlaw]

Not much of a push to start 3rd. But it was good for Sammy to get a clean sheet for the period. Maybe that boosts his confidence for game 3. Darren Pang is crazy if he thinks HCPL going back to VV for game 3. No way in hell

Well we won the first game and game 2 was close until the middle of the 2nd. I think he played cautiously at the right time and spiced it up once the game was decidedly lost.

Our shit GM gave up a 2nd to get that trash back rofl.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

The good…if everything goes right we can control play slow down Florida and take advantage of mistakes. We can still win the series.

The bad…we are old and slow and physically outmatched and we have way less skill. Our goaltending still sucks. And we could easily lose the next 3.

 

[troyerlaw]

Timing...down 2-0, score a goal and then 20 seconds later give up terrible one and just destroy any momentum the team had.

Yeah that was a back breaker. VV needs to stop that

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The real question is, do you see Samsonov starting game 4 or 5?

You gotta get your homer glasses off. There is no world where a hit initiated here can be boarding ha.

Already happened. The 90s caps forwards were 11 hathaways and bondra

You have to be trolling with this right?

You show some goddamned respect for Mike Ridley, man!!!

 

[troyerlaw]

I mean even with him we haven’t won a single round since the Cup

 

[McVechkin]

Go learn what Boarding is and come back.

Tell me how a hit initiated in the middle of the ice like this is boarding. I’ll wait.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

So then we need a time machine. If we're picking up some Hathaways from the 90s, maybe we can also bring 2009 Ovechkin and Backstrom and 2018 Holtby on the way back??

 

[troyerlaw]

Fucale in 4. Copley in 6

 

[heartbreak]

Kindve off topic and not just tonight or the series thus far but in the grand scheme of things once the playoffs start, this league, the refs, the announcers, basically every aspect of the sport are always so anti-Caps. Been like that forever it feels

 

[RandyHolt]

I think this game was a write off. Outside of the first 1 minute i barely saw Ovi do anything and he is always a decent measuring stick for our fortunes. It seems like Oshie is the only one hitting to my high standards.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Watching CGY/DAL. When did John Larroquette become coach of the Stars?
