Post-Game Talk: Washington Capitals (kind of) vs Providence Bruins | 5/11/21

[trick9]

Bruins sitting out there entire line-up apart from their 2 heavyweight plugs (and DeBrusk). I wonder why.

I think i'll pass this one.

 

[RandyHolt]

No contact with the team. No workouts. No skating on protocols. No update yesterday. No update today except he is not there. Your guess is as good as mine.

Standard Covid protocols nothing to see here

Its really too bad that Ovechkin hasnt been playing and up to speed. Playing an AHL team tonight might be epic. It still might be epic. I forget. Is the Ovechtrick 8 goals?

The most epic thing humanly possible is for Boston to pull the goalie and let Ovi score 20 goals, to overtake Mathews for the Rocket, denying him that individual honor. Trolling the Leafs at an all world level.

I'll put it plain and simple, the Caps are moving on from Kuzy/Sammy. I don't expect either to be part of the playoff roster! Neither player is practicing with the team, so what makes you think Lavi is going put them back in the lineup?! Why should either player deserve to be back in the lineup and create distraction/ruin new chemistry that is already being developed with the current playing roster?

if they don't put Kuzy and Samsonov in the line, I don't know what to think. Without Oshie and a legit 2C and backup goalie, they don't use these guys that's a very strong message. Why did they f*** up when we need them the most? Sad as Kuzy is one of favorite players.

 

[searle]

Anyone got a copy of the Bruins lineup?

 

[notDkristich]

please keep OV out of the lineup. i'll take a 1-day contract and suit up if it means OV is 100% for playoffs.

Bruins +170 is sooo tempting

Ah nm

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Looks like Ovechkin is playing tonight. I would rather he be rested even more and 100% healthy.

If he is good to go, he needs to get his game speed and timing back. We really dont want him using game 1 to do that. Do we?

 

[kicksavedave]

I expect Ovi to take maybe 3 or 4 strides the entire game. Gonna make controller disconnected look like a Tasmanian Devil.

Just stay healthy.

 

[ovikovy817]

The Ovechtrick it's not only 9 goals. It's 9 consecutive scores

To get a 100% Ovi we need to give him a tune-up game, hopefully he can at least get his timing back on the powerplay

So get his timing back then let him sit for 5 days until Saturday? Gonna have to get his timing back all over again just like the rest of the team.

Alan May just said, “The Caps are playing almost their full lineup tonight except for Kuznetsov and who knows if we’ll ever see him again (and Oshie and Carlson).” That does not fill me with confidence that he’ll be back for the playoffs.

That wording has to have some source behind it probably.

Well, its better than the endless torment. But what a fail...

PS: I dont believe for a second they will not use him even if 19/20 goes down with an injury.

 

[Coldplay619]

Kuzy wtf happened.

 

[crab]

There is zero chance the Caps can go far without Kuznetsov.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Kuzy wtf happened.

It’s really very frustrating to have zero idea why we are missing such a key piece.

 

[Melkor]

I remember the times when people here thought 92 was a smart guy. Good times.

Just stay healthy.

Quota met!

But he's including Carlson and Oshie in that?

 

[Empty Goal Net]

1 Cap down. Friendly fire to blame.
