[Boss Man Hughes]

Last season’s Ovie buries that.

He's on a line with trash. He better bury every chance he gets.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

We need more Orlov types or heavy hitters on the defense.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Bring back Orpik! I wish.

 

[John Price]

wtf

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Well, that was super quick. Jesus.

 

[g00n]

Carlson should just change benches. What the f#ck was that?

 

[tycoonheart]

Just turned it on and they get scored on.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Orlov couldn’t have played that any worse. No idea what he was doing there.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

They really need to be better at entering the zone with control. Their best chances come when they skate the puck in. Don’t think they’re fast enough any more to effectively dump and chase all game.

Yeah, really hard to have considerable confidence in a team with such precious little consistent puck control.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Last season’s Ovie buries that.

hes never been good at breakaways. thats why they dont use him in SO much

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Is Kuzy injured? He has been pretty, pretty, pretty bad so far this season.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Lets go PP!

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Ovie conserving energy on the PP.

 

[DWGie26]

Beck with assist!!

 

[John Price]

Tied up!

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Now that was a nice goal by Dowd off Mal’s feed.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Not CMM with a nice pass on the goal

 

[tycoonheart]

Dowds been good.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Malenstyn here to stay!

 

[DWGie26]

This fourth line looks good. And not just because of goal. All of three of their shifts have been solid.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Terrible play by Eller. Really nice play by Fever.

 

[Brian23]

Can we just put Mantha on the half-wall Backy spot and let him pound one-timers from the other side to take heat off Ovie, ffs?

Who cares if you don't have a balanced PP2 when the first unit gets all the time anyway? And if you make the change then the PP probably clicks at such a high rate you won't even need a PP2.

God damn.

It's one thing I've never understood with their PP setup. I get Ovi is the GOAT cannon, but like he's also an incredible passer. Set someone up across the boards who can pump shots and he'll be opened up to lob howitzers.

 

[DWGie26]

Our dee has been much more decisive and fast about passing out of the zone (versus skating). Making for a much faster transition!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Um Craig, being a young team doesn't mean exactly good talent.
