Post-Game Talk: Washington Capitals vs Phil McKrakens - 9pm EST

[trick9]

Calm down, Sammy is getting scored 4+ times in this spot too. End of a road trip, back to back, and 11F. Even before injuries you could circle this one on the calendar as a problem game. It happens

This is load of bull.

Washington vs. Seattle
Scoring chances for: 33 - 28
High-danger chances for: 11 - 12
xGF: 3.44 - 3.01

Washington vs. San Jose
Scoring chances for: 13 - 32
High-danger scoring chances for: 5 - 17
xGF: 2.2 - 2.82

Samsonov faced far tougher game against the Sharks and got far less support and stole us the win.

4 goals for is plenty good support, but maybe you only mean defensively….

Defensively or overally.

I'll put it simple. Sammy is very good right now and Vitek sucks right now. On to the next game against the Habs and Sammy should get the start. Sammy is reaching his expected potential to being a #1 and Vitek is falling back to earth being the expected backup he was always labeled to be.

Things can change fast, but I think this was always the hopeful plan. Its why they protected Sammy not VV in the ED, but still felt VV was worth a 2nd to keep around as a cheap backup.

Cant wait. Which of the 4 goals was supposed to be soft? The deflection infront of the crease, the double direction deflection for the 2nd, the cross ice two on one pass or the 15ft middle of the slot shot?

So you are trying to claim you can predict Sammys performance in a week, month or year with a straight face?
