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

Kuzy wtf happened.

He might still be in COVID protocol. He was entered into it on May 4.



So today is day 7 and should be off if it tomorrow.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

But he's including Carlson and Oshie in that?

He went on to say that Oshie is out and they’re holding Carlson out to get him ready for Saturday. Didn’t really give a lot of details on Oshie but sounded bullish on Carlson. I was surprised at his wording for Kuzy because I don’t think May just says stuff off the cuff.

You're sure he said "if" and not "when"?

Hmm interesting wording. Not sure what to make of it.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Now Chara down.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I hope we just aren’t trying because they should be dominating.

 

[troyerlaw]

Lol, ref telling Clifton to get in the box and sit down

 

[txpd]

Jensen was just out without Chara. I love how this is going

We’ve played against AHL-heavy rosters before, it’s not always the blowout you expect

Exactly. These are professionals too and they aren’t just going to let us walk all over them.

 

[DrewGl]

This is not looking good for Saturday.

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Interesting comments by Joe B. Seemed to suggest the wisdom of Caps playing their strongest lineup given that the Bruins are playing nobody.

Locker did follow it up by saying the Bruins have the luxury of cap space.

This game scares the crap out of me. Boston are hitting hard (which of course they were going to do) and we could easily end up with more injuries by the end of this.

 

[DrewGl]

I get that but imagine if an NBA/NFL team or whatever played a college team and did not dominate them. Basically what this is.

Apart from coming out healthy, this game means nothing wrt Saturday.

These are AHL'rs trying to make a mark, vs Caps veterans trying to not get hurt.

 

[max21]

Lol Hagelin

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

That Hags move

 

[Coldplay619]

Ovi's lateral movement looks better for some reason.

 

[troyerlaw]

Hey honestly i kinda like hags taking the slapper, even tho it didn’t work. I sometimes wish Ovie would do same

 

[YippieKaey]

Is it bad that i laugh everytime Hagelin fails a breakaway?

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Hagelin

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I did the same thing LOL

 

[txpd]

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

I think they will take zero chance of going far without him over zero chance of going far with him its as bad as it might be

 

[troyerlaw]

That Hags move

“move”

If they didn't want them to get hurt then bring on the taxi squad. These guys know how to play together. Not like this game is going to make them suddenly gel or something.

Yeah but hockey is different. It’s harder to score. And their goalie isn’t bad.

 

[pman25]

Can someone teach Hagelin the ole chandler stephenson backhand fivehole breakaway move lmao dude said screw it might as well tee it up
