Post-Game Talk: 2008 Southeast Division CHAMPS @ Nate Drug & Gerry G 10:07pm

[troyerlaw]

WTF. Kuz either exhausted or mentally checked out there. No puck pursuit

 

[Corby78]

Lazy play will cost you. We lost 4 points the last two games because dudes took plays off and loaded. Holtby is in that group and he is on his second bad stint of the season. He needs to pull it tofether

 

[mad4comp]

notice how you don't hear a peep out of some folks when loltby plays like trash.

 

[maacoshark]

Well we can blame holtby there. Boys kill 4 minutes and he does that.

Niskanen shouldn't have let Schmidt get into that shooting position. Holtby probably should gave had it though.

 

[Capitals40]

10 goals against in 4.5 games..we have a goal tending problem.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Did Holtby spill some Gatorade on his glove and it stiffened up as it dried?

 

[TRASHCAT]

You mean periods?

 

[StrikingDistance]

Two soul crushing losses back to back

LOL. Soul crushing? Thanks Cpt. Hyperbole.

There's no banner in Lost Wages.

Work on the PP and hope Willy is ok.

 

[Corby78]

Probably? It was a zero screen wrist shot from the blue line. That’s a warmup shot, and he half ass’d it with his glove and missed

 

[Carlzner]

Is there anything the Golden Knights love more than beating the Caps in meaningless games?

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Nate hasn't scored in 26 games and now this.

 

[Calicaps]

Well f***

 

[twabby]

The Caps actually played well at even strength. If there’s one thing I’m not concerned about long term it’s the PP, and that’s what did them in tonight (and poor goaltending).

Nisky actually deflected that shot right off Schmidts blade, which is why Holtby missed it, curve ball.

And both of them so avoidable. Especially the one against the Ducks.

Reaves turned the game around, much as i hate to admit. Live by the crushing borderline body check, die by the crushing borderline body check, i guess.

Speaking of ‘avoidable’ ... loss of 88 from our roster still annoys crap out of me.

Okay. Moving on.

I guess we’ll see what team made of over next few games. I hope wilson not out for long time

 

[Sam Spade]

Holtby cost them the point, hope Wilson is not damaged, at least Ovie scored a goal.

Still had time to see it and stop it. Needed a better effort from him in 3rd.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Well clearly that game meant way more to Vegas than us. They can have that victory we will take the cup. It's like when we would beat the Pens in the regular season. Means nothing in the long term.

 

[CapsGr8]

Laid an egg past two games. Time to regroup no need to panic.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Holtby needs a break again.

 

[maacoshark]

Ya he didnt play well the last 2 games.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Second time this season he's allowed a lousy goal from that far out in the last minute.

That sucked. PP needs work and hopefully keeping Wilson out was just precautionary. Also, this live update thing sucks while typing posts. It constantly jumps up the page on each update.

Um, were they not both tough losses in the 3rd period??

I didn’t say the season was over. They just both sucked

Chill out

 

[Bladerunner]

Feels not unlike the Ducks game

They're consistently losing key players so far this season. Can only hope that trend slows or stops.

Soul crushing is a little much
