Post-Game Talk: Big Bald Babies @ Ravishing Rugged Russians 7:30 PM

Btw, Verizon is way too quiet for a team playing this great. And no, look-ahead playoff anxiety is not an excuse.

Sometimes the Caps score and two minutes later, the energy seems to disappear from the building as if it was the opponents that scored.

We've been clobbering so many teams lately... fans have become spoiled, jaded.

I just hope the team can play like this in April+

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I think we have a pretty good differential in all 3 periods this year.

Nope. Ducks feed that I'm forced to watch said its only +3 in the second while +30 in first and +20-something in third.

 

[hockeykicker]

Orlov will return for third per caps Twitter

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

They could easily be winning this 6-2 right now.

 

[artilector]

Yeah, Sanford has the young deer look, tentative, this kind of speed is way over his head at the moment.

Need to go back to Vrana ASAP, then choose one to try to bring up to speed in Bura's spot.

At least some good news!

It doesn't add up, we're at +71 overall...

Sanford is invisible out there, at least he hasn't cost us a goal so there's that. Definitely need to go with Vrana after the break.

Gonna leave a bad taste, right before the break, if we blow this one

 

[hockeykicker]

Apparently vrana was scratched tonight because he has been really bad in Hershey lately

 

[Valhuen]

Pens down to the Yotes in the 2nd......

Is that so? Damn, we need him up there in Burt's absence.

I may or may have not have fudged up the numbers. He basically said Caps let teams back in the 2nd period.

Still, a call-up may be the motivation he needs. He can't be any worse than Sanford IMO.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Travis Boyd usually plays center but has played wing in his career. He deserves a shot up here given the points he has put up.

Hmm, you don't feel spoiled when you understand that you are seeing something very rare.

Caps need to check the UFA market for high-energy fans. Not the ones you need to plug into an electric outlet, though.

Jesus, really? That's discouraging to hear. Lack of effort or just playing like junk?

Is there anyone else who deserves a look? Boyd? Barber?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Sanford and Stephenson have been useless, we should give someone else a chance. Vrana or someone else, who cares.

 

[hockeykicker]

 

[Valhuen]

Well that sucks, so basically none of our prospects are dominating in Hershey this year.....

 

[artilector]

You know what, they can give Galiev a try then.
Didn't he just score a hat-trick in Hershey?

He has the wheels to play this style. He was decently gritty in bottom-6. And the pressure for him to score would be much less this time around.

 

[peterthegreat12]

It's painful to watch Sanford play right now. I'm sure he has a great future but looks timid and unsure of what to do on the ice.

This. I think Galiev could fit in that spot for a brief time. Has been playing well in Hershey lately.
