Post-Game Talk: Stanley Cup Champs at other team in Colorado. No oshie, no kuzy oh my

[Sam Spade]

No way they call that back.

And they shouldn't.

 

[Devil Dancer]

This is the first time I can recall seeing an obvious turtle from the Caps under TR. Hasn't worked out great so far.

 

[kicksavedave]

What do you consider turtle mode?

Turtle mode is abandoning the forecheck, collapsing into the D-zone too much, playing to hold a 1 goal lead vs scoring an insurance goal.

 

[CapsJunkie]

Copley is from Alaska. another reason why I root for him

 

[Koized]

I thought they were playing well defensively. Colorado got away with a blatant trip and high stick.

 

[maacoshark]

Well, you completely stop playing offense she that’s what you get. What else did they expect? Not even trying to maintain possession.

We didnt play an offensive game from the start. We played a tight checking game which us probably the only chance we have against this team. If we played a wide open style against this team we would give up 5 plus goals for sure.

 

[Capsman]

They are going to score again. When you spend an entire period turtling it’s tough to get it going again.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

*sigh* I was afraid to say it, but there you go. This team seems to live (and die) dangerously when they have a one goal lead....

 

[mad4comp]

Yea... the refs have money on the avs. That much is for sure.

 

[Koized]

About f***ing time

 

[maacoshark]

Turtle mode is abandoning the forecheck, collapsing into the D-zone too much, playing to hold a 1 goal lead vs scoring an insurance goal.

We didnt really do that. Our problem was tgastvwe stop cycling in the offensive zone. Too many one and dones.

 

[CapsJunkie]

yes

 

[Capsman]

Wow these refs are pieces of work. Guess they couldn’t be too obvious...finally.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Cole - what an arse

 

[Devil Dancer]

Great drive by DSP there to draw a key PP.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Now's when you miss Kuzy.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Copley is from Alaska. another reason why I root for him

North Pole, right? Must be getting busy up there this time of year

 

[maacoshark]

Well we get atleast 1 point. Didnt expect any tonight.

 

[Sam Spade]

Good point, fingers crossed for the second one.

 

[traparatus]

I love players' reaction to that missed high stick on Orlov. Say what you have to say ONCE and get on with your life. Missed calls happen.

 

[Capsman]

Suck it Colorado.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Woo hoo - excellent win given the injury depleted roster

 

[CapsJunkie]

heck yeah!!!

 

[Devil Dancer]

f*** yeah! Willy with great work, Nicky with a money shot. Haven't been this excited for a RS win in a while.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Beautiful shot by Nicky, that all happens because of DSP's hustle drawing that penalty.
