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

[Gravity]

Gutsy effort by the team. Ass job by the refs.

 

[Monsieur Miz]

didn't notice Demidov tonight

He had the ice time of a 4th liner so yeah.

 

[le_sean]

I agree brutal call Laine gets dumped from behind that is never icing NEVER.

Why is a 6’5 player easier to knock off the puck than Hutson? He made 3 soft plays on that shift.

 

[zx81]

I can't stand Newhook and his shots that miss the net constantly.

 

[ahmedou]

Happy Easter to everyone!

PS: Except the refs

 

[EveryDay]

didn't notice Demidov tonight

It's because he's playing with 2 ahlers.....

 

[HabsForHire]

"Ovi has never scored an ot winner" nice jinx i knew it was going to happen after he said that

 

[OnTheRun]

Patrik Laine can divide by zero. That's the secret sauce of all his smart plays.

 

[Theodore450]

2 players you need gone before the start of next season is Laine and Matheson

+ Dach a lot cap space

 

[Tuggy]

That's enough Laine for me.

Yup brutal, soft play at the redline to turn it over.

 

[sampollock]

Go oil now
OTT tomorrow

 

[mbz]

Caps cross check all game no calls, dog shit icing call

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

We really need other lines to do something offensively.

 

[The Great Weal]

Laine is a liability. He cost us that game with not getting the puck deep

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

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

thanks for the first line carrying us once again
Monty played well

Newhook and Laine are so bad i just cant

Laine is far worst than Newhook. At least Newhook creates shots and carries the puck a lot. Laine is a blackhole at 5v5.

 

[expy]

We get blown out without Monty

Didn't really see that many quality shots tbh.
None of the goals were either.

 

[Habano]

Horrendous coverage by Hutson and Guhle on ot goal

 

[HabbyGuy]

Feel bad for the boys who put in a valiant effort. Was a great game, nothing to lower your heads over.

So proud of this young team. Go Habs!

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Refs were pretty bad tonight and all playoff long ngl

 

[waitin425]

Not sure what to say. We gotta take the next or we are in danger of a sweep.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Laine is horse manure, nice comeback tho let’s win the next one.

 

[JianYang]

Lol the ESPN team brought it up right before the faceoff that ovi never scored in OT.

 

[Habs13]

Hopefully the guys playing their first playoff games got the nerves settled down now and they see the Capitals are beatable.

But this team needs to find its balls too. Way too easy to push around.

 

[Habs 4 Life]

Laine pisses me off, such a f***ing softie

 

[HeussLenfoire]

Hutson was absolutely brutal in defense, at least he redeemed himself with 2 assists. Laine, Slafkovsky, Demidov, Newhook were really bad, yes even Ivan. Third line ( 2nd ? ) was fin. 4th line lacked grit. Guhle and Matheson were bad. Carrier, Savard and Struble were ok.

Suzuki and Caufield were good, tried their best.

Montembault had a great game.

Team played well overall, good shooting volume, too soft along the boards though.
