Post-Game Talk: The Defending Champs vs the team Philly doesn't care about.

[Empty Goal Net]

Wouldn't mind seeing a functioning PP for the Caps.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Well the PP doesn't look like they know how to cross the blue line against the trap.
I know it's bad business to dump and chase on the PP but doing a throw back pass to restart the break in isn't working

 

[Portable Mink]

Pp is so predictable and woeful. Common Ovi... need to score if you want to get another rocket.

I dispise the back pass .. I know everyone does it but you only have 2 minutes.

 

[Capitals40]

Dang Holtby..2 great pad/toe saves.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Do the Caps turtle or play well?

 

[SpinningEdge]

They already look lazy as hell this period. Slated slow on PP and they just had three guys in their own zone vs 1 philly defender and they turned over the puck.

Lucky for us Philly looks shot right now - but they also made a game out of a 5-0 lead for us like a week ago so this game still def not over

 

[animositynow]

The pp is looking so awful

 

[RandyHolt]

I know it's unlikely, but I have an impression Connolly don't like it here. So few emotions from him.

I see that same almost always business like expression... I suspect he has been told we can't afford his agents demands.

 

[Capsman]

I’m not sure OV is in any position to talk to Kuzy about his play.

 

[RandyHolt]

I dispise the back pass .. I know everyone does it but you only have 2 minutes.

It is getting predictable and doesn't seem to be the gateway to entries... maybe its used to buy time to read what the PKers are doing... but its no secret... stacking the blue.

I know one way to get them to back off.... slappers at the stackers.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Man Kuzy... just brutal.

 

[Capsman]

Shut up Kuzy. Just zip it.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Almost has his 'angry referee look' quotient filled!

 

[Capitals40]

That was being lazy penalty

Takes too much “try”.

 

[Capsman]

The passing on the PP hs been way too slow.

 

[Capsman]

He has been exceedingly lazy tonight

Caps are allergic to playing a full 60. Its like they get a nice lead on anyone and decide "yeah, thats good enough, we got this if we need it" and then pack it in, saving themselves for the playoffs.

I expect to see a highly energized Tasmanian Devil when the Poffs start, for 60 mins or whatever it takes.

Hags is gold on the PK. Elevates Eller's game, too.

Is it bad to take the foot off the gas in the preseason

 

[Capsman]

My God we are in stupid mode. Truly.

 

[CapsCrazyX17]

I really hope there is some way we can bring back Connolly and Hagelin while still re-signing Vrana

No chance with the salary cap

If the Caps insist on giving the Flyers PPs, at least they are benefitting from Simmonds no longer being on that team.
