Post-Game Talk: Capitals win game 1, lead series 1-0

[Balthazar]

It's great we kept it close, the guys know they can win. We really need a second line that is dangerous or at least excells at something.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

Demidov looked way better when Armia was on his wing and not Laine. I don't understand the people in the Laine thread that think he's a good hockey player.

 

[Luigi Habs]

didn't notice Demidov tonight

He seems to always be in the wrong spot chasing the puck and being a step or two behind the play

 

[teamfirst]

Nice comeback, we can beat these guy's, on to wednesday

 

[_habsfan9]

Laine is basically Pierre Dagenais with a good shot lets be honest

 

[donghabs98]

Brutal way to end the game considering they were the better team for the last 10 minutes

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

didn't notice Demidov tonight

yeah bro third game in the NHL against the best team in the east playing with Newhook and Laine

Even Mcdavid couldnt carry those 2 idiots

 

[Marioesque]

He got crosschecked. That shouldn't have been icing.

Right?! Like what the actual F are some people on

 

[Kimota]

Weird game. Got dominated physically early on but the Caps did not continue their pace. Caps were not that impressive overall which allowed the Habs to come back. But then of course NHL Refs did NHL reffing.

 

[Andrei79]

Loss is on incompetent reffing. Just brutal.

Second line is a disaster too.

That said, gutsy game. They showed they can hang in there. Washington came on with an onslaught, but once they weathered the storm, they were able to come back. Get the next one and then come back in Montreal tied.

 

[Miller Time]

Laine was avoiding contact all night. Whether it was avoiding the forecheck or just normal plays.

I guess you missed the penalty he took

 

[le_sean]

But somehow people defend him to the death. He’s been lazy and pathetic 5v5 the entire season

 

[JustAHabFan]

Ovechkin is in front of the net and nobody tied up his stick. Laine's line losed this game for us and wasted a come back from the first line.

 

[SallyBalls]

f*** me. Tough way to lose that one.

Anyone that says "i dont mind losing to Ovi" needs to be banned. f*** me.

 

[McGees]

We can be much better.
Didn’t deserve a win but nice almost comeback.
Put in wifi.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Savard played 12 minutes and has 0 hit.

Glad we're giving him the opportunity to have his retirement run though.

 

[EveryDay]

Scratch Laine and play Kapanen.

Can't believe MSL is not seeing that this line is pathetic...

 

[Bring Bak Damphousse]

Dunno how long we can keep throwing out Laine at even strength, he’s not nhl calibre at anything besides his shot on the pp

 

[Runner77]

@dinodebino wanted some action and … he got some!

This is boring. Even this thread is getting tame. I was expecting more vitriol. wtf guys, you did NOT bring your A game. I’m disappoint.

Matheson FU!
FU!
FU you POS!
How can an NHL player be that stupid ? How?
f***ing up every offensive effort with his shit!

You need help asap

 

[FLHabs]

Caps are beatable. This might be a long series.

What a great freaking learning experience for this team. Getting this playoff reps this early in the rebuild will massively pay off down the line

 

[zx81]

Pisses me off that Ovie got the winner with his lazy play in the 3rd and ot.

 

[ahmedou]

Can't even be mad about this loss.

I'm happy about this no quit team.

 

[Guiness time]

That hurt. But on the bright side, I think this young team knows they can beat these guys. It's up to them and they need to step up and take over this series.

GHG!

I STILL BELIEVE!!!

 

[Habsawce]

That icing call is just not acceptable. That should have been taken to centre ice. This is the NHL, in the playoffs; in no way is that acceptable.
