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

[Raikkonen]

Ovi is looking more alive than 43 and 19. Backstrom looks sleeping. 43 looks kinda thinking about something else. Not his usual self. But I didn't watch first two games mostly though.

Kuzy looked not that good in preseason methinks, so there is potential for tough times. Good news they can still get a lot of points.

18 -> bench
72 -> waiver

28 is great, 21 is nice find for peanuts

PS: Hagelin and Panik are less visible due to Eller's absence (I hope it's ended soon). Also Hagelin looks like a guy stepping down to 4LW when CMM is here.

3 games in 4 nights and they get a point. All good. Bring on the Birdman.

I know Eller should be back on the 3rd with Kuzy coming back, but the only standout lines these 3 games are the 2nd and 4th lines.

Hopefully the 2nd line keeps its form and the 3rd hopefully gets much much much better.

43 was neutered

 

[Raikkonen]

Another hot take: Kuzy comes back and PP still isnt fixed.

 

[illpucks]

That end of game 4 seconds left play was disappointing by Ovi. He needs to stickhandle better.

 

[illpucks]

Vrana looks like he has another gear. I wouldn't be surprised if it's Vrana leading the team in points this year.

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.

Fever played with Carlson, Siegenthaler down with Gudas. He got demoted bro.

 

[Raikkonen]

Vrana and Kuzy should be now offensive backbone of the team generally. No other young skilled forwards on the roster.

Probably but I doubt they go scoreless in 6 PPs.

Jesus the canes board is awful

They're not gonna reduce Carlson's ice time just to even out TOI of other guys so they had to adjust the pairings to make it work.

They just all try too hard to be clever over there. It's unreadable.

Let em gloat. They relish beating us since they really care about this rivalry. And honestly they deserved the win in a hard fought game.

 

[Hivemind]

Carlson's shooting on the OT PP *sigh*

The Birdman cometh.

Thoughts:

Holtby was awesome. Oshie and Vrana, also.

The fourth line is a significant improvement. The third line was bleh. The 1st line took off the first two periods. Ovechkin and Wilson aren't here yet.

Fever is legit. All of the sudden the Caps have solid young prospect group: Fever, Alexeyev, SamSOnov, McMichael, and Protas.

we heard you the first time. The kid is young and it’s a long season. Not the only one to f*** up tonight.

holtby seems really down in that interview

Leason?

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

Not the way I saw it. They were taking ov's away all game and particularly in ot. 74 was wide open the whole time. He scored from there often when the do that.

 

[Corby78]

Liked holtby (deserved a win), and the fourth line. Guys looked like it was the 3rd in 4. Didn’t have the step as the last two games. But I’ll take 5/6 points all season. Also PP didn’t look that awful to me, I’m not too worried yet. Our post bounces out, there’s goes in, it’s hockey.

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

With a day off we would have won it
