Caps @ Cbus 1230 ish

[Holtbyisms]

lol this is exactly why I said Stevenson should have been the call up. Shepherd is terrible.

 

[Eirikrautha]

OK, we're up to 0.333 SV%. That's improvement...

 

[WcRoenick97]

I've seen more high shots in this first period than I have the last month.

Not a fan of Hunter but the team is playing terrible in front of him.

 

[Blades of Steel]

can we edit and remove him from all the ovie milestone celebrations from the other day?

 

[crab]

Watch out once Leonard starts to finish. You can see why they were so high on him.

This is a team that doesn’t care at the moment which is dangerous with the loffs coming up.

 

[Corby78]

I'm over the Sheppard experience

 

[WcRoenick97]

Making this goalie look like Halak.

well, that and typical Caps suck during day games, always have.

Leonard looking sweet tho

 

[Liam Smith]

Leonard will pot one today

 

[IafrateOvie34]

The Caps and BJs have become good rivals since they moved into the same division. My only issue is the blackout games.

Shocked that this guy isn't an NHL caliber goalie:

He nearly did there or a primary assist.

Gonna disagree. The Caps haven't looked great, but both of the goals were stoppable. The Caps are playing down to the BJs (we're much faster), but the goalie's gotta stop some... at least 20-30 per game (on average)...

Hunter up to 0.500 SV% (plus the ref bailout). Better call up someone else...

I was over it last year when they tried him out last year

every time I saw him come off the bench like a lost puppy to celebrate with Ovie it just pissed me off lol

 

[IafrateOvie34]

From here on out, it's about being healthy and watching Leonard from my perspective. Columbus wants to stay alive, but I don't see anyone taking that last spot from Montreal.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Keep it up Lenny, you're going to get one soon

 

[Corby78]

Leonard wants to play

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I forgot about Frank. Want to see him play a lot.

 

[Corby78]

I'll be honest, with no 8, no 6, big pro out, I think the play has been fairly even. The only difference has been our 3rd string (maybe 4th) goalie.

Both were stoppable but the second goal is very challenging. An in zone breakdown letting a player have a breakaway with his teammates in play is very challenging as a goalie. You have to play deeper and be aware of the pass.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

It’s like a preseason lineup today and we’re playing like it

 

[WcRoenick97]

Is Columbus ice that bad or did our team forget how to skate?
