Post-Game Talk: Sat. Oct. 5th, 2019: Caps v. Canes, Rock the Red (Carpet)

[CapitalsCupReality]

Pisses me off to gift that away.

 

[Silky mitts]

Identical to game 7 GWG

 

[Raikkonen]

We half like our team

 

[txpd]

Reirden is doing what we have seen before. 3 20 min plus defensemen and 3 around 15 or so.

 

[EroCaps]

How irritating.

2-0-1 against those three teams is pretty nice, though.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Disappointing the way they lost that one but 2-0-1 to start the season on a back to back game.. well let’s be satisfied here.

 

[illpucks]

WTF was that?

 

[crab]

I thought Jensen had a really solid game

 

[twabby]

Don’t mind that they were a bit exhausted but the PP needs an overhaul. It’s been a problem for almost a year now, certainly not just a one-off thing at this point.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Fever played a lot...Siegenthaler got demoted. I dig it.

2-0-1 start, how can you complain? I’d take that any day.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Take the point... take some time off and work on PP. 5 of 6 Pts with kuz out I’ll take. Still... garbage play by top line all around in 3 games and especially when needed this game

Yeah it's better than the shootout.

 

[Sam Spade]

How irritating.

2-0-1 against those three teams is pretty nice, though.

And they only gave up five goals in nine periods of actual hockey. That is pretty damn good if you ask me.

 

[Capsman]

well, its hard to win the back to back game against a rested team. 2-0-1 in the first 3 is acceptable

Yes but this is the pattern we have seen against Carolina. Carbon copy.

Forsythe’s job should be in jeopardy.

 

[Hinterland]

Reirden gave the point away by playing Fehervary. Unlucky bounce of course but he shouldn't have stepped up there. Because he did, Backstrom as a forward had to defend a 1vs2.

 

[txpd]

This. No bueno.

3rd game in 4 nights. back to back. vs a rested team. they ran out of gas. Its a thing that happens

 

[discobob]

Well ****, I wanted 3-0

 

[illpucks]

Don’t mind that they were a bit exhausted but the PP needs an overhaul. It’s been a problem for almost a year now, certainly not just a one-off thing at this point.

It's been the same PP since they had Oshie. Their PP is to use Ovi as a decoy and play 4 on 4.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Don’t mind that they were a bit exhausted but the PP needs an overhaul. It’s been a problem for almost a year now, certainly not just a one-off thing at this point.

When I saw they were 12th last year I literally gasped. Not even Top 10 anymore.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Great game tonight. You played very well tonight. Look forward to seeing you again in December. Good luck until then.

 

[Calicaps]

Obviously but man, you gotta at least be feeding 8 and not 74 on an OT power play.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Happy early birthday Fehervary!

 

[Calicaps]

[HSHS]

The good news is we are set up to beat Carolina in the playoffs... no longer undefeated in regular season vs them.

 

[Hinterland]

Fever played a lot...Siegenthaler got demoted. I dig it.

2-0-1 start, how can you complain? I’d take that any day.

No demotion...normal to spread the wealth on a back to back. I don't mind it. It was stupid to play Fehervary in OT though. Not Reirden's best idea.

 

[max21]

Atleast we get Kuznetsov now. 5 points I’ll take it
