Post-Game Talk (GBU): Washington Capitals at Buffalo Sabres 7PM 3/9/2020

Would’ve been nice to have a legit second line all year. Olofsson/Kahun might be 2/3rds of that.

wouldn't be a bad lineup if they were utilized correctly. Until Risto McCabe hems them in their own end.

Rightly or wrongly you could pencil Cozens on the 3rd line next year.

MoJo is certainly the type of player I'd want on Cozens line if it comes to that

I doubt anyone thinks that Ralph has maximized this team's 5v5 output with his line combinations. I'm left wondering if a modest improvement at 5v5 would have been able to move the needle with how putrid our special teams has been all year.

It can be dumb to read anything into it, but Eichel’s pre-game interview sure sounded like a guy who’s checked out and just going through the motions. Or better yet, lost his love for the game.

we are all Ryan Oreilly now

 

[VaporTrail]

Caps 12 Sabres 3...Eichel with the hattie

 

[Jame]

I bet 100,000 vbucks in Washington.... so Sabres will win

 

[Buffaloed]

That hit on Okposo before the penalty looked questionable.

 

[Tatanka]

Despite the lead we are playing this period in our end.

 

[Buffaloed]

Sabres can't be backing in so far with the shooters the caps have.

 

[Chainshot]

PHam is going to have to block someone after that on-ice language.

 

[La Cosa Nostra]

Kahun is a nice piece to have long term. He is that 40-50 point middle 6 forward all good teams need (several of). Hopefully he can be the Kotalik/Dumont for this team when and if we ever become good again.

montour is such a dink

Tage, Mitts, and Cozens could be in the mix too.

Sabres Academy has a scoring coach, huh? Maybe we can use him on the big club.

 

[Panthaz89]

Oof the Capitals PK unit weren't even pressuring any puck carriers.

 

[lauraP]

Jack and risto on that last powerplay

 

[Chainshot]

Clearly they needed to make sure NO ONE was in the net by the time he buried it. Nice goal, Cap.

 

[stokes84]

Dahlin bailing out on the 2 on 1 feels like some real heavy handed over coaching.

 

[Buffaloed]

Finally a game worth making snacks for

 

[Panthaz89]

The Sabres PP is actually good when players are actually moving instead of staying in the same spot making it easy on the PKers.

Not bad! "Welcome to the Key Bank Center" doesn't really work though, does it? Needs more syllables.

I propose changing that line to "Welcome to the home land of dejection." (Or something like that; the syllables work and it's a little more poetic).

Just a friendly suggestion. LOL!

(My favorite line is: "And in the GM's chambers
Where logic counts the least". Nice one!)

All ya gotta say is "Welcome to Pegula's KeyBank Center".

That's enough syllables.

Not watching this one.

It's sorta like a boycott.....

But w/o the financial and emotional investment.

Internet is out, phone data too slow so can't watch and just too lazy to walk the 3 blocks to a sports bar and have breakfast while watching
