Apparently there is a game starting in 10-15 minutes. Go Caps, go Ovi!

Want some Ovi goals and the hot stick celebration

 

[Planetov]

Here for 884

Pleased to have Joe and Alan today on Sportsnet today. Almost all the Caps games I get on Centre Ice through Bell Canada are the opposition feed, which I hate.

Go Caps!

 

[Empty Goal Net]

JC6 with another blast from the point! Approaching #20.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

That #6 guy might be worth re-signing. Maybe.

Crap, no goal

 

[Empty Goal Net]

PLD pushed into their keeper by their d-man. But the challenge is for playing the puck with a high stick? When was that instituted?

Edit: I understand a review to see if they crew missed a puck hitting the netting. This high stick stuff is beyond reasonable.

Last season, it's a missed stoppage of play supposedly.
EDIT: Clear high stick. Rule sucks even when it's in favor of the Caps.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Since when is that reviewable? Has that ever even been reviewed before?

 

[Planetov]

At this point just rewatch all play between whistles. If at any point there is an infraction, just restart play from the infraction. What a farce.

So the challenge can be brought for any missed stoppage? Like when a cleared puck glances off a player on the bench but the linesmen miss it? How 'bout a missed icing call (or is that considered a judgment call)? [not directed at you, @AtG8, I'm just kvetching]

It’s any missed stoppage in the offensive zone. We’ve seen missed hand pass, high stick, hitting the safety netting. It sucks, but that’s the rule.

 

[Lou Sassole]

What a horseshit call.

 

[g00n]

terrible call

 

[RedRocking]

What a f***ing dive by Kucherov

 

[Langway]

I do not mind some regressioning giving Patrick license pre-deadline at all.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Doubled up in shots…again. This is getting worrisome.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Kucherov is a generational playmaker, but also a generational diver. Can't give that guy a chance to get on the PP.

 

[stephenball]

Yeah, I agree. I think being just bad enough pre-deadline isn’t the worst thing given the position we’ve put ourselves in so far, give an extra push to fix our flaws without doing something drastic.

Almost like one team had 3 pps before the other got one with 130 left in the period

This is about trends. Not a single period of a game.

 

[Cappy76]

I'm not seeing the trend Since the break
Pit 32 caps 30
Oil 25 caps 35
Flames 25 caps 27
Stl 19 caps 18

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

5 shots on goal….nope they definitely don’t need upgrades…

 

[Lou Sassole]

WTF did Strome smoke this morning?

Pitiful PP. It's almost like they need chychrun out there......

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

The intensity on puck battles is something…Ovi and company putting little effort into winning pucks back.
