Caps @ Cbus 1230 ish

[Lindemann]

We literally have nothing to play for with so many people out and our 3rd string goalie

Some of yall need to relax and go outside for a minute

 

[Blades of Steel]

What did Willy do?

yapped to the refs too much

 

[WcRoenick97]

Yeah it was a great, clean body rocking hit. No problem with it at all and a welcome moment for the rook. Just hope he's good to go and his bell isn't rung.

 

[Eirikrautha]

The puck was long gone before that hit. Fantilli needs to pay. This is a terrible game... and Hunter should never see an NHL rink again. If Hunter buys a ticket to watch a game, they should deny him entry...

 

[Corby78]

Sit tom the rest of the game. He is just going to run his mouth and turn this into a dirty game where we get guys hurt more. Second game we look like bitches and we don't want to do anything but retaliate.

 

[Liam Smith]

The puck was bouncing near Leonard’s chest. Completely clean hit.

Shepard playing with his eyes closed doesn’t help.

 

[twabby]

Just shake the cobwebs out kid. Rub a little dirt in your brain to fix the microscarring.

This team and sleepwalking right before the playoffs doesn't usually end well. We've all seen this movie countless times before. That's the reason for concern.

 

[Cappy76]

From the looks of it here the team was more questioning that there should have been a stoppage for the injured player. Looked like we touched it a few times and it wasn't a continuation of play type deal.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

He has an appointment with Tom Wilson. See you next. Period bitch.

 

[Corby78]

I never thought Leonard had the puck, but they aren't showing the full replay. Maybe he did touch it, but I would need to see again.

 

[MW6]

waiting for a replay to check again but I swore Lenny had just played the puck

Yeah, looked like Leonard poked it just before he got hit. I didn’t like it, but probably would’ve loved it if it was the other way around.

 

[Lou Sassole]

Wow, that’s totally interference and a dirty hit

How do you figure? They were all going for the puck, it was right there. It looked bad, but Leonard tried to pull out of the collision.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Let's all just watch the golf instead, and give our eyes a rest.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I might just be a little ticked off our baby got killed

 

[Corby78]

please no, not in this game. Tom will break his hand on a 4th line scrub on a non-playoff team, we will start chasing them around and get run out of the arena 8-0.

also shep needs to be swapped, I don't know how anyone can have confidence playing infront of that guy. Even when he makes a save he looks shocked and confused

 

[Blades of Steel]

Yeah, looked like Leonard poked it just before he got hit. I didn’t like it, but probably would’ve loved it if it was the other way around.

Yeah, I don't like it either but I didn't think it was a penalty, just got rocked is all. Ovie used to do it all the time. Just hope he's not hurt and just needed a minute.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Wilson should knock Fantilli's head off when he comes back and take the suspension.

Pucks in the air, you don't hit a guy like that when the pucks in the air, this isn't the NFL. Legal hit because the puck was "there" but shit move. You have to pay for that in any leauge I've ever played in and he'll probably have to pay in this one.

 

[NoVaCapsFan]

Wilson should knock Fantilli's head off when he comes back and take the suspension.

Sorry but Wilson should take the rest of the day off and tomorrow too. The boys have one job and that is to stay healthy except the hurt ones who need to get healthy. If someone needs to pay, let McIlrath collect tomorrow.

 

[stephenball]

You guys are mad and seeing things because you hate to see our exciting young player get hit that hard. If it was Leonard that made that hit (which he will in his career), we’d be applauding it, that’s a hockey play and he got rocked.

This. Their xG% since the 4 nations break is much better (+1.5%) than it was before. They’re playing fine, the goaltending has just sucked (down from .923 before the 4 nations 5v5 to .881 after).

Last game was their biggest game in weeks in terms of it being a potential 2nd round matchup and although the first period sucked, they completely outplayed the Canes and deserved to win in regulation. And that was without their best winger, their number 2 D, and starting goalie. Today, they’re missing their 2 best wingers, number 2 D, and playing their 3rd string goalie on the road against a team trying to avoid being eliminated from playoff contention. This game means absolutely nothing.

 

[Lou Sassole]

When did we get so sensitive about hits and collisions? We have Wilson and Ovie, who've terrorized the league, and now we want to get upset about a legal hit/collision. Physical hockey is the best, the kid needs to learn to protect himself. Also, if Wilson goes after Fantilli, then Olivier will pound on one of our guys. I hate all the outrage over legal hits.

 

[Cowumbus]

The puck is on the 50th anniversary logo patch when he gets hit

Facts. Hitting is part of the game. Keep your head up.
