Post-Game Talk: Wsh @ Min

Good overall game from us. Good 5 on 5 and better on the pk. Nice to see Wilson make an immediate impact.

 

[txpd]

Milbury and Carter on NBCSN destroy both the officials for the penalty on Wilson and the Wild for the fight. Awesomeness

 

[TRASHCAT]

no chance they show up tomorrow oh well

 

[Sam Spade]

What do those guys in the penalty box actually write in their notebooks??
And why does he have a crappy little notebook like the ones the cops always had in those old movies??

Those guys get paid like $5o a game, that is all he can afford.

 

[Sam Spade]

High danger chances still too high but overall good game, especially since I was expecting a loss.

Pretty much everyone is destroying the ref for that penalty call. It was that bad.
Maybe the Tom Wilson conspiracy theory isn't that far fetched.

A minute into the 3rd period Suter takes a little shot on Wilson, then he’s like 1/4 second late on a chance with a wide open net at the other end because he doesn’t want to make himself vulnerable to Wilson and if he scares Suter he scares everybody. If I were him I cannot imagine the shit I would be talking to Suter.

The first half if the game they hardly gave up any Hugh danger chances. The 2nd half wasnt as good. If course we took a lot of penalties in that 3rd period.

Man oh man, the Caps are just different when Tom's playing. SO happy to have him back

 

[notDkristich]

Wilson returns = noob coach now gets 40 games to not be at .500. I still don’t see how last years system has been tweaked. It’s not the same at all. If it is the same the players aren’t listening to the noob coach. Just sayin...

Wow I would happily do it for free if I got to sit and watch the entire game from there

 

[ovikovy817]

A goal and a monster hit by Willy. Don't care about the result

Please, tell me that Willy threw a big hit on someone?
Didn't watch the game yet.

I interned for the Kings from 1988 until 1991 while I was in college and got drafted for two games in 1990 to do it, as one of the old guys who normally does it was ill. It was cool, but you can't watch as much of the game as you think.

For one you can't stand up in the penalty box, which extremely limits your view. If you are assisting the score keeper you are looking down basically the entire game tabulating shots, hits, basically anything you see on the ice. There were two of us and I was doing shots on goal and and icings/offside calls. Cool for sure to say I did it, but I was glad when my time was up and I was back in the press box doing my regular job, which for the record was handing out game notes and stats to the press, then sitting and watching the game next to them.

They look good when they're motivated. The rest of the regular season is about finding motivation to keep the train moving.

The fight was not because of the ref. That was all on the Wild.

 

[txpd]

Copley. He gave up 6 in his first game. Since he is 3-0-1 with just about a 2.00 gaa. He deserves props

Start him in games 1 & 2 of the first round.

Oh there you are, Capitals.

That and their depth players improving. DSP has a way to go and 4C seems iffy regardless of whether it's Boyd or Dowd. With that line getting less responsibility it's important for Eller to be playing more consistently effective. Curious whether they may waive Jaskin if this is their set lineup. Not sure he's done enough all-around, esp. when given a shot on the top line. The only substitution I could see after 65 scoring is DSP but then there's his PK role and Jaskin hasn't done that yet IINM.

Bowey seems to be getting better. They miss Orpik on the PK but it's good to see Bowey playing tighter and more involved offensively. He should get that first goal soon if he keeps it up.

 

[txpd]

Yea, Jaskin gets waived. I think Boyd is showing that he could grow into a solid player. Dowd, not so much.

Its a different team with Wilson. They had some desperation after how the homestand went. Orlov seemed to find his game. Ov with the leadership on the second Orlov goal which may pay dividends for some time to come. Copley for a pressure start.

Whoever out of Boyd and Dowd is better on the PK... roll with that.

I honestly wouldn’t mind seeing Gersich by end of year actually. I loved seeing him last year and see a ton of upside with that kid

I did a couple of fill in games on PA during the Dave Foxx era. Its hard to see from there. The penalty box officials get more then $50 a game. They are provided with the notebooks. They simply write down who is in the box and from what time to what time. If an incident occurs like a fan throwing something into the box or the player trying to leave the box before he is allowed, the officials notes the details of the incident for the game report. So, he usually writes nothing more than the player's number and the clock setting.

 

[Raikkonen]

What's the D lineup once Orpik is back?

 

[SpinningEdge]

When people start complaining about Toms salary (which will happen) let’s make sure we remind them of this game and how big a difference he is.

... oh and him getting 15 points in 21 games on a Stanley Cup run

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I thought Bowey played well. He seems to be getting better.
