[CapitalsCupReality]

Filthy Kuzy!!!

 

[g00n]

bettman point. sick move by Kuz lessens the guilt

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

GG....2 pts! Next!

 

[Calicaps]

Hi Lloyd!

 

[tycoonheart]

Great win.

A bit of a lull after we scored the 1st goal, but they came back super strong after getting down 2-1.

Something is up with Nicky, he's looked off.

 

[Raikkonen]

We didn't lose 2 straight games yet?! Cool

 

[Corby78]

TJ/Kuzy just ugly all over

 

[stanleycaps18]

True, but, Two Points!

 

[Corby78]

Second this

 

[Acallabeth]

Meh, barely got past the 5th team in the conference without a penalty called against us in regulation.

1st line (even AO), Holtby, Carlson, Kuzya, 3rd line had a strong game.
Orlov-Chorney did not.
Burakovsky should finish the season in the A.
Sick movez in a shootout. It was funny to watch Howard against TJ and Kuzya.

I don't miss Mike Green sooo much!

 

[hockeykicker]

Shot totals 40-23 caps

 

[Raikkonen]

4th line and 3rd pair did some costly mistakes. Next.

PS: 3rd line with Wilson seems a little toothless.

 

[bur and 666 others]

Glad we were trailing, so we had a chance to see a strong game from the Caps. I like when they play desperate, all this possession and shooting and no mistakes on D. Actually we saw two team that played really good D (expect couple our gaffes on which we were scored). Would be cool if they played without 3 on 3 and gimmick to see who actually would have won the game

btw, i liked the shoutouts from Osh and Kuzy, so much skill

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Good game...even better shootout

The commentators bored me for some reason. Either I was distracted or they really are boring. Bring back Doc!!!

the main guy does play by play for the red wings, guess thats why they chose him

I really, really, really hate the referees tendency to even up games with makeup calls.

Yeah they didn't call any penalties on us in regulation. That doesn't mean that Ovechkin should get penalized for nothing.

Speaking of Ovechkin...Am I misremembering or did he used to be better at stickhandling his first few years in the NHL?

And how unlucky are we that we have two great shootout players now that shootouts are much rarer?

 

[The Gongshow]

Detroit stood no chance in that shootout. Washington is too deadly.

Also that first line of Oshie - Backstrom - Ovie is just dirty.

Ovi handles the puck like a grenade these days, he could take lessons from his young friend Kuzy

 

[um]

Orlov was awful, it's starting to look like the injuries have may have taken a toll on his career.

 

[Calicaps]

He made at least 2 beautiful passes to the slot and no one was home.

Orlov was awful, it's starting to look like the injuries have may have taken a toll on his career.

He's been up and down, which I think is appropriate for a still-young guy who missed a year. When he's been good he's been very good and when he's been bad, he's been awful. Consistency is the challenge for all young players, especially D. I think he'll be fine.

Thats not the 5th best team conference right now. They are a very good team with lots of talent. They are playing better hockey then both NY teams right now. Orlov had a bad turnover, and Chorney had a couple bad plays, but for the most part they did ok. Bura had one bad pass that I remember but I think he is playing better after his scratch.

 

[Corby78]

Orlov was awful, it's starting to look like the injuries have may have taken a toll on his career.

He has looked good for the most part of this season. He had a bad turnover, its going to happen. I would take Orlov over Green right now in a heartbeat

I had a pretty nervous few minutes during the Det PP when I thought we might see Game Over Green. Really glad that didn't happen.

 

[Tweedsuitcase]

1 point over the Rangers and one behind the Habs with 2 games in hand! Feels good.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I don't anticipate anything from him anymore. He gets an eye roll every time.

Sad but true.
