Post-Game Talk: Top 6 DSP and the caps @ oilers 10pm

[marcel snapshot]

DSP to the rescue

 

[g00n]

Ok now that was a nice play. No look pass by Carlson

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That’s how a top D plays. Boom...nice finish DSP.

 

[bur and 666 others]

Can't score, but at least Eller's line shoot on the net. It's embarrassing at this point even can't generate shots on goal. when they shoot, they make other goalies look great....

they scored!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

First great play and first burst of speed of the season for John Carlson

 

[Devil Dancer]

That's a really nice shot by DSP. There are a lot of ways to screw up a play like that.

 

[Raikkonen]

Sale!

Also, some folks calling Niskanen overpaid... is questionable.

 

[Bladerunner]

Understatement to say they needed that badly. Maybe we have a game

 

[g00n]

I can't recall the last time Locker admitted the team played like crap. Did that ever happen?

I don't think so. He's always going to spin things. If it gets so bad there's nothing you can say and still retain any credibility he just starts talking about food or some other OT crap with Joe B.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I don't mind, part of Locker's job is to sell the Caps so people will tune in for the next game. Plus we have plenty of negativity right here on HF.

Locker commentary in one game:
Ovechkin shoots off the post: "Unfortunate bounce for Ovechkin, shot goes off the post"
Ovechkin scores after a lucky bounce: "Great players get the bounces."

I don't pay attention to what he says. I just listen to Joe B and Alan May. Locker is just background noise.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I cant even get the Caps feed. I have to watch some Canadians drool over McDorkid.

At least they have something to drool over

The degree to which the leadership of this organization fools itself by thinking the team can be LEAD by Ovechkin is staggering. Ovie has been on this team for 12 years and they still haven't figured out that he's a fantastic piece, but he's no leader. He's Brett Hull. Brett Hull scored 86 frickin goals one year - but no one ever thought he was a leader.

A leader steps up when the #1 D goes down, the #1 center is compromised , and another top 6 forward goes down. Has anyone even noticed Ovie in the last few games. It's not a knock on him; it's a knock on this organization for utterly failing to grasp what he is and what he is not, and for structuring the team based on what he is not.

I'm watching the HNIC feed and Ovie has been getting a lot of love. Or at least respect.

 

[Raikkonen]

What a pass from Vrana.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Locker: strong work by Ovie. That entire sequence was the result of half-assed board play by Ovie that lead to an Oil break-out

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I'm watching the HNIC feed and Ovie has been getting a lot of love. Or at least respect.

That's what I'm watching too. I want Joe B.
They're trying so very hard with that kid, its unbearable. Oh he works out and lifts as much as Stamkos?!?! OMG.

Lars-ie

 

[twabby]

Eller deserved a goal

 

[Devil Dancer]

Eller sure deserved one today.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

What did Eller eat for breakfast?

 

[Devil Dancer]

2 secondary assists for Ovie tonight?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Eller can't buy a goal, and then he morphs into Kucherov for an instant

 

[Raikkonen]

This was Bowey with the gentle pass at PP. If only he could do one to the left side too
