Maybe, but Orlov had his best game of the year..did you watch the game?

Every game this season minus 3

 

[notDkristich]

The standard is low if that was Orlov's best game of the year

 

[kicksavedave]

How dare you....

I'm just saying I don't think he takes the C from Ovi and when Ovi does retire, it has to be Willy, no?

If Oshie isn't protected in the ED Seattle would be stupid not to take him and bring him home. And we will miss him. A lot!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

He’s going nowhere. This is going to be like Caps fans talking themselves into believing in Gruby getting picked Isn’t it? lol...

Well if they don't take Oshie, maybe they'll take Bura? LOL

 

[Roshi]

Hum, so Sens did suck after all. Would figure it sometimes boosts some urgency to ”show” after what they have been through, im gonna blaim their coach. Though their backup giving couple softies did them no favour.

Easy W. Move one.

 

[Bananas]

I’d like to put the Isles in their place at some point. Doesn’t have to be the next game but by the end of the season it’d be real nice if that could happen. Kind of like 3-4 punches to the face followed by a cute little pat on the head.

And Orlov was awesome this game and I guess u turned the channel or something lmao

Watch more hockey..maybe you will learn something.

I love reading the GDT knowing the result.
After 2:0 this place was "funny"

--
What happened to Kuzya? What's the latest news?

Love the TOI for the D's

 

[RandyHolt]

Kuzy got hit in the hand with a pass, and then scored later

Oshie is awesome, making Koken sweat. IT will suck losing him to the Grunge.

I somewhat agree with him. Sure Orlov looked good but it was against a very bad team. The Send are by far the worst team in the league

We looked like garbage the first 10 minutes, so it may be funny knowing the results, but it wasn’t funny then.

Yea I was getting a little tired seeing the same leading the division argument in every thread. Barzal has half the points he did last year and it’s because he’s now a defensive beast on a division leading team.

Watching that Tkachuk goal last night vs them lol. I still don’t think the isles defense is ready for postseason play. They have some speedy puck movers but they’re going to get beat up. Then they have all these defenseman that you’ve never heard of and the best kept secrets in the nhl. However that also means less experience. Also guys I’m not sure if you know this but The crylanders love to let you know how bad their coaching and gm used to be. I knew Barry would get them playing better hockey. I still don’t see the pieces for them to go deep. “We roll four lines now!” Okay...so what good team doesn’t?

Well hopefully it gives him some confidence to turn his game around before the playoffs start. This would be the best time to do that

Guys had some fun!

There is more than one reason why the Capitals went out on a limb to keep TJ Oshie. When someone needs to step up and do something. Being to fight a guy in the playoffs or back check or sacrifice himself, Oshie is the guy on the team that does it over and over again. Without him, maybe it doesn't get done.

At somepoint maybe Wilson fully takes on this role, but I wonder.

What I need to know is how in the hell did Hitchcock get so crossways with that guy that he ran TJ Oshie off his team?? That makes no freaking sense at all.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

The blues had that whole “slow guys who can fight Chicago” thing going for a while.

 

[txpd]

I remember when they asked him why it was him that took on the retribution against Schenn(this was after Schenn crosschecked Kuzy in the knee IIRC). Oshie said, "First man up"

 

[txpd]

Maybe so, but I don't think that explains that situation getting to the point where one of them had to go. Unless Hitchcock called Oshie a p***y and if he did that in itself makes no sense

 

[txpd]

Meanwhile, Oshie is banging away at Letang. Both of these fights were big moments. I think we forget about the Letang thing.

One of the most enthusiastic Doc calls I've seen and it's a Penguins ENG

Doc isn't a Pens shill. In this case he is clearly watching the Oshie Letang fight going before the puck goes in the net

There was a time two seasons ago where the team had clearly given up, but Oshie hadn't, he was back checking and skating hard to catch up with breakaways.

His cap hit is heavy, but the guy only has one style of play and that's 100%. When Oshie isn't producing it's never from lack of effort.

The biggest pos and a Caps hater on that tandem is Edzo. Pierre sures loves him some Crosby but when he talks about the Caps it's 90% something positive.
