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

[kicksavedave]

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

Stop forchecking, stop cycling in the offensive zone, same concept. They stop playing offense and play only defense, it costs them.

Woooo! Nicky! Willy! Ovy! DSP!


2 pt night!

*Did NOT expect that.

*see the second post in this GDT.

Hockey gods strike once again. I am disgusted by the officiating this season. We are getting absolutely 0 respect. We are the defending cup champs and they are treating us like Florida.

 

[kicksavedave]

Nicky delivering the justice! Eff these refs! Two points on the road, down our top players, way to go Caps!

Gritty win. The Caps didnt get too cute this game. They played a very smart game.

 

[Sam Spade]

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.

Why I never complain about reffing, unless it is an insane call, it's a colossal waste of time.

Great play from Wilson to retrieve the puck along the boards. Wouldn't mind seeing him permanently on the 2nd PP unit. Connolly has a good shot but he's not very good at working along the boards and retrieving pucks.

 

[CapsJunkie]

solid game. I was expecting to lose 6-1 thanks for working soo hard caps

 

[Koized]

They look so much better since Wilson came back

 

[traparatus]

My favorite win of the short season.

Huge plus to Copley. He is giving us a chance to win. 3rd start in a row, way to go.

I don't always like Wilson's hits but one thing is undeniable. He is a fine-fine hockey player and he helps us win a tonne of games.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Nice that Nicky took that shot instead of passing.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Where did you get that from?

It was a joke.

woooooosh

 

[Bladerunner]

Proud of the guys tonight. Short handed on very core players and they pull out a road W

You can't forecheck when you dont get the puck deep. Eller for example gains the zone gets to the faceoff circle and instead of getting the puck deep he delivers a blind pass to the slot resulting in a turnover and an odd man rush the other way.
Part of the forecheck game is getting pucks deep.

caps needed this!!!huge winning streak coming up like last year

 

[maacoshark]

It was a joke.

woooooosh

Well maybe throw a smilie in the post.

 

[Foots]

They played a solid defensive game. And Copley played well again.

 

[CapsJunkie]

great game thanks for sharing tonight friends

 

[Ridley Simon]

Well maybe throw a smilie in the post.

Considering your Holtby worship stance?

I thought it was understood. Ah well.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

Huge goal.

Woo I’m hype. Needed that.

Great play on the boards by 43.

 

[artilector]

GG.

Way to go, Copley -- go earn that 30th overall pick!

 

[Sam Spade]

What a fantastic job the top line plus Niskanen/Kempny did on MacKinnon/Rantanen/Landeskog.

 

[Sam Spade]

They look so much better since Wilson came back

Especially the PK.

One more game and I can finally look at the standings.
