I think he has been alright in this game but I agree he is playing very well.

Wat?

 

[troyerlaw]

Flames definitely taking some liberties. Somebody took a late run at Nicky along the boards a couple minutes ago. Then the attempted disembowelment of Bowey, followed by the monkey business v. JC74 in front of benches. We miss Willy in that situation. Need orpik, DSP, orlov and others to answer back. Dont just leave it to 8 in the scrums

 

[Melkor]

Definitely hasn’t found a groove yet. But i have confidence in him. Largely because of the wheels and the hustle. Honestly, i think i’d deal bura b4 i dealt stephenson. Two different skillsets, of course, with Bura on the higher end, talent wise. But bura feels like he’ll be frustrating to watch for rest of his career. Flashes of brilliance followed by 25-game stretches of turnovers, perimeter play, injuries and coach’s doghouse.

Sure, Stephenson is a good player, just kind of looking wasted tonight

Jaskin needs to go to whoever gave Wilson skating lessons, would be fun to see what he could do with a bit more speed.

I think jaskin is actually a good skater. That’s his reputation, and he shows good speed north-south anyway.

To me, Oshie’s a dude who could use a tune-up on stride mechanics. But the reality is, it’s hard to change a player’s skating once he’s past about 14 yrs old. I’m sure you can fix things at the margins, but the basic stride and posture seem to solidify early on.

All that said ... yes, Willy has gotten quicker. Put his tutor on speed-dial.

Connolly had 22 at back door, shoulda tried to dish it

 

[troyerlaw]

Top-line vrana working out well so far, at least for today

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Vrana has taken the steps we thought but a would this year

 

[troyerlaw]

Flames clank iron

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Caps looking a bit discombobulated in their d-zone.

Turtle mode, activated.

 

[troyerlaw]

That last shift by 18 was a good one

 

[troyerlaw]

I’m almost surprised they didn’t whistle 8 for getting his stick into Johnny Hockey’s gloves

 

[troyerlaw]

Felt that one coming

 

[ovikovy817]

Not offside ?

 

[peterthegreat12]

Inevitable. Todd needs to clean up their d-zone. It’s absolute garbage thus far this season.

 

[ovikovy817]

Kuzya wut

 

[troyerlaw]

Wow. Implosion under way

 

[Roshi]

Wow, thats one way to end a game..

 

[DrewGl]

I can't even tell what this team is trying to do/be at this point. Just a sloppy mess.

 

[ovikovy817]

Just come back home and forget this trip

 

[twabby]

This season looks a lot like the beginning of last season.

Good omen IMO

 

[troyerlaw]

19 has played an underwhelming game

 

[philip]

What is happening here.
