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

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Go get us some defenders GMBM

 

[philip]

I know we all talk smack about orpik but he was phenomenal against mcdavid tonight

He straight up out-veteran'd the kid. Death by experience

[Ridley Simon]

Caps looked good. Imagine that.

 

[Tables of Stats]

I was against you last game (Canucks fan here) but I really do hope Ovie gets a cup in Washington before it's all over. Maybe this crushing of the Oilers will kick-start the Caps and get them there.

Kuzya sure thing loves playing in Edmonton. Remember his 5 point night 2 years ago here. That was so dominant. He was buzzing here again

 

[ovikovy817]

Kuzya almost with a hatty. What a goal (the second one), wonderful
We were in Edmonton, so Ovi decided to activate Gretzky mode.
Holtby was very good after his bad game 2 days ago. Everyone played well
Orpik almost 28 minutes, Carlson almost 29. and the next game is tonight. will be rough

 

[Portable Mink]

Seriously just let Walker play a stretch. Give the guy a chance to get comfortable.

 

[brachyrynchos]

Hey Mink, I agree 100% about playing Walker. This team traded 2 picks in the '14 draft to move up and select him (team was worried someone else would pick him, the same with Vanecek, who at this point hasn't gotten a sniff of the NHL and is #5 on the goalie depth chart, but that's another story). Fast forward to today, and with all the injuries, Walker is either a scratch or buried on the 4th line, and that baffles me. Put him on waivers? No, BMac will say he's too valuable. Just shows the problem with development and utilization of the kids in this organization.

Looks like they did a 180 after I went to bed. Will have to check out the DVR.

Good to see they rebounded from that first period, which seemed like it was spent almost entirely in the defensive zone, at least for the last half or so. I wonder who lit the fire in the locker room...

First time the kid has ever skated against a dinasour

Just remember when watching that Ovechkin is one dimensional and cant pass

I highly doubt this little win against a non-rival team is what it takes to trigger the Caps' Stanley Cup winning abilities.

Thanks for the support though

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Now that was a $7.8 mil per year performance. More of those please 92.

 

[Langway]

Liked DSP, Stephenson and Bowey tonight. Actually the whole team stepped up. Maybe its Backstrom's presence

Maybe EDM is really not that good.

Forgot to mention Peluso. Useless.

This sums up my thoughts. Peluso had one good backcheck IINM but, yeah, no need to play him as a deterrent.

Peluso was there for his physical play but we didn't see it. I think Walker will be in that spot tonight.

Ovi made a nice pass on the Kuzy goal but I wouldn't say he was in Gretzky mode.

How many players are?

i have a feeling that when they come back from west coast trip (assuming connolly presumed concussion isnt better) they will switch forwards

 

[maacoshark]

I don't think anyone had the passing abilities Gretzky had.

 

[g00n]

I don't think anyone had the passing abilities Gretzky had.

Then why do we need to point that out for Ovechkin... as a way to diminish his passing...if nobody is at that level?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

It was an obvious hyperbole

 

[g00n]

It was an obvious hyperbole

Of course it was. But if you think someone is overrated you're always on alert for praise that seems like too much. And that was my point in asking about it.
