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

[holy]

I swear SN knows Habs fans don't want Galley calling games and does it purposely to taunt us.

The guy looks exactly like he sounds too. Like he can only say the exact nagging bullshit you really don't want to hear.

"If they can get going here they can really turn it around, but in order to do that, they have got to get it going, and quick. But there is plenty of time left, if they could get one here it would be a whole different feeling." Like bro shut up we all know this.

And if I had dorsal, caudal, pelvic, pectoral and anal fins, I'd be a fish.

But I don't have fins.

Pffft.. You expect me to just believe that you don't have fins. Gonna need some proof.

 

[MXD]

And Newhook... it's easy to criticize him. But he's not a classic center, more of a wing, unlike Suzuki, Evans and Dvorak who are classic centers. Besides, he's only 24 years old. Plus, playing with an injured player and a rookie who needs to get used to the PO.

Again, I'll reiterate because I've been vocal against Newhook : I think there's a role for him on a good team. But it's not on the Top-6.

 

[sheed36]

So he is Matheson as a forward essentially

Matheson is more of a Mr. Shinpad.

 

[That Habs Fan]

I was ecstatic when we briefly had Suzuki-Monahan-Dach-Dvorak as our C depth...now it's basically Suzuki and nothing... Dvorak plateaued big time.

Will be exciting to see who we sign or trade for.

5'7 Caufield and 5'11 Suzuki ate Tom Wilson ALIVE tonight

Ovechkin is a worthless turd. he doesn't deserve respect.

Best goal scorer in NHL history. Laine doesn't deserve to speak his name.

No I won't send you pics of my fin-less ass.

 

[TeacherMan]

My 2 cents is put Newhook and change the winger + Demidov and you have a true second line

Who? Without messing up the other lines?

 

[VT]

Actually, he didn't play much in game 1. Then put up 5 points in the 5 remaining games of that series with 2 disallowed goals.

He was their best player in the series and the extra attention was something he burst through.

Defensive details and pace will be something he will be coached out of. But the lack of offensive plays this game was entirely due to his line mates.

I said about the end of the regular season. He had serious problems. Than he was good in the PO, because he did changes in his play. That is normal for young guy.

 

[Kennerback]

Even with his awkwardness, Laine is our best PP player. And he’s our worst 5 on 5 player. How do you solve that problem?

Litterally anyone. You pick.

 

[Kojo]

Hutson migth have had 2A but he was awful defensively

You don't think he might be a little bit tired? He's used to playing 25+ minutes per game but it's the first time he's doing it at the NHL level.

Xhekaj on their wing would have put them over the moon though. Damn you midget St Louis, why can't you be taller?!?

 

[Marioesque]

Best goal scorer in NHL history. Laine doesn't deserve to speak his name.

He didn't. Reporter did.

 

[HabsMD97]

Roy barely touched him and he fell like a sack of potatoes. That replay makes it look even worse for Laine.

Yeah I though it was a hard crosscheck, but that's embarrassing..and he literally couldn't get up afterwords yikes!

 

[VT]

I think you will win the next game. Pity I can't watch the PO more. Good luck.

He has not been our best PP players fot a long time now

 

[The Real Timo]

I wish we could have challenged it. A game should never end due ro a blown icing call

The game ended due to a lost faceoff and a subsequent poor defensive coverage.

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Matheson is more of a Mr. Shinpad.

Well least he knows his post hockey career

Equipment makers will be lining up for his services. Robotics arent as consistent at hitting shinpads as him

This reflects what we all saw. The problem is we have no real alternatives for the Newhook line. Kapanen wouldn't be much better there

 

[Habs10Habs]

So f***ing proud of the boys. If they were before, I don't think the Caps are underating us now.

I never understood this graph. Carrier was our best player? That is not what the posters were writing in the game thread.

 

[Kennerback]

We’re trying to run a PP with only 1 one-timer. When on the right half-wall, Suzuki and Caufield can only shoot on Monty. It’s impossible.
