Post-Game Talk: Thankful GDT: Atlanta Thrashers @ Washington Capitals

3 point game for kuzzy

 

[Holtbyisms]

****ing potter baby, magician.

 

[Calicaps]

was that Oshie or Mojo?

Oh, my feed is behind. I was talking about Oshie's shot getting blocked.

But yeah I see, 90 just missed an open net, because he needs to do that at least once a game.

 

[sycamore]

Playing on another level now

Wonder why Kuz celebrated so hard there. He's scored OT winners and acted like he was getting a haircut.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Bura needs to spend a long season in hershey. Galiev is more physically and mentally prepared for the nhl and Bura would benefit tremendously from dominating that league.

 

[sycamore]

Is Kuz our Malkin at this point? wow

 

[strungout]

So glad they put Williams back up there.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Is Kuz our Malkin at this point? wow

Kuz is a Malkin level player.

 

[tycoonheart]

Bura needs to spend a long season in hershey. Galiev is more physically and mentally prepared for the nhl and Bura would benefit tremendously from dominating that league.

Agreed. Bura is a big time liability right now.

 

[Koized]

Buff is awful defensively.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Russians have been out of this world tonight in all 3 zones. I'll give credit to MJ too, he's having a great game.

I feel bad for Osh and Bura, they can't catch a break. At least they both hustle all the time and keep doing the little things that the coaching staff asks for. If Oshie could just get a quick one it would spark him.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Kuz is a Malkin level player.

His emergence alone has changed the dynamic of the team. He's a legitimate scoring threat that's not afraid to shoot even when on the ice with Ovy.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Kuz now top 5 in the NHL in points? Dude is a monster. So so so very happy with our forward drafting.

 

[sycamore]

And like Malkin is kept away from Crosby, Kuz is so dengerous makes sense to split him from OV. Give us those 2 dangerous lines we need

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Buff is a wrecking ball but such a dumb player. It really costs his team sometimes

 

[Holtbyisms]

His emergence alone has changed the dynamic of the team. He's a legitimate scoring threat that's not afraid to shoot even when on the ice with Ovy.

That's what makes him so dynamic...world class play making and not afraid to try and skate through all five to put the puck in the net if he feels like it. Not saying he's > Nicky. But he's a totally different center. A type of center we've not had.

 

[PuckBuddy]

I'm fine with Burakovsky taking a long stint in Hershey.

 

[Chukcha]

Ovi's ENG please, and i'm fine.

 

[Fallschirmyager]

""""W""""

 

[Calicaps]

I'm fine with Burakovsky taking a long stint in Hershey.

Me too. Still some development needed there.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

It's scary how fast Kuz progresses. Speaking of progression, I'm not sure if Bura is set to play right now. Maybe a stint in Hershey would help him regain his confidence. Let him destroy the AHL then call him up.

 

[Acallabeth]

I'm fine with Burakovsky taking a long stint in Hershey.

This.

A good game overall, some mistakes cost us, but we were able to overcome.
Ovechkin with his best game of the year, unreal he didn't even get rewarded with a multipoint game.
Kuznetsov is a wonder.

 

[sycamore]

3 back of the Rangers.

 

[Fondue]

Holy crap.

Washington actually has two effective scoring lines. When was the last time this happened?
