Post-Game Talk: Sabres @ Caps - 7PM (visiting fans, read our local rules)

[BackToTheBasics]

Ovie's hit was clean.

Risto left his feet. Could he get a call from the league for that even tho no penalty was called?

Ovi's hit was a hit from behind and probably worth 2 minutes but nothing more. I doubt the league looks at the hit from Risto. It didn't look too bad and Risto has no history.

 

[hockeykicker]

anyone see it?

 

[Raikkonen]

Ovechkin closing the gap for Richard.

Johansson with some crazy shots and hits numbers for him. Good passes left and right (nice saucer to Chorney in the end). Very good goal.

Kuz is always good against lesser teams.

Orlov-Schmidt aren't that bad as top-4 pair so far (small sample size).

No fights surprise.

****ing injuries.

wait the hit on ennis?

3rd period was entertaining and impressive. Sabres held their own most of the game, but late in the game, the depleted Caps showed better legs. Bodes well for playoffs! Schmidt is one guy that never seems tired.

Let's hope the injuries are nothing major, Backstrom in particular, of course. If it's short term, good things could come out of them, e.g. with MJ getting a 3C test run, Bura getting another top-6 shot, Galiev back in...

 

[Carlzner]

First time seeing Kuz in person was ridiculous. He's so good.

The defense needs Carlson badly.

 

[Raikkonen]

They called up Sill because he's a center. The center above him went out of the game. Using logic and ignoring your biases would lead you to the proper conclusion.

I'm sure they would call up Stephenson if they needed a center.

Sill was called up because of possible gooning.

Earlier in the season Laich played 4C already. So in critical minutes late in the 3rd he was the obvious vet to play @ checking line. That's my line of thinking. I don't have any bias favoring Sill. I'm watching what Trotz does.

Maybe Barry just wanted to see what Sill has.

Stephanie got jokes yo!

 

[hockeykicker]

hopfully no one is thinking the ovie hit on ennis is bad. dude turned away before contact. nothing ovechkin could do

 

[PB12]

Alright let's go into Raleigh tommorow, get two points, and finish the year with 60 points.

 

[RandyHolt]

I think you're right about that...he makes impact hits, game changers.

Oshie's hits leave a mark.

Troy's leave a mark on the scoresheet.

I guess you're right. I didn't initially see that he turned away prior to the hit.

 

[RandyHolt]

Maybe Risty kneed Backstrom

In the groin area, or knee or thigh....

i keep watching that gif and i cant see anything that caused beagle to get hurt, yet you see him bend over in pain

 

[bobbybobcat11]

Are you serious? Kuz really has to stop swooning everyone or else we won't have any more love to give to other players.

The only thing I can think of is his right hand grazes against the hip of the other Cap. If its a wrist injury.

Watch #29 closely and you can see a quick slash. It's to Beagle's left hand

thats what i see too, thats why i think its probably something muscle related

 

[txpd]

it was his right arm. like he hit the caps player (Wilson) as they passed. if that is the case its not a slash but more likely an extension injury. which is probably better.

 

[Backstrom #19]

Beagle gets slashed on his left arm and then bends over in pain after he turns around and is favoring the left arm.

 

[hockeykicker]

beagle will need surgery per trotz

 

[strungout]

Watch 29's stick and Beagle's left glove/arm.

 

[strungout]

Paging Mike Richards.

 

[Backstrom #19]

beagle will need surgery per trotz

Probably a broken wrist/hand/finger.

Backstrom will travel with the team and could play. Probably just the migraine I would imagine.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Hopefully Beags is back in that 6-8 week time frame and not that Orlov time frame.
