OV was closer to Erhoff (sp)

Erskine also plays defense

I'm of the school of thought that I like my D to turn and look for incoming trailers looking to lay the wood on anyone driving the crease...he could have played it better (Ovy too).

 

[PRicci09]

I cant comprehend how Oates would think the first line paired with Erskine and Carrick is a good idea

Agree. I wish OV would've played body.

 

[edamer]

Many chances this period. Pretty entertaining.

 

[Vladiator16*]

Is OV telling Holby right now: "Sorry man, i should've clocked him..."

Also, glad i was wrong, this is a fun game, so far.

maybe the 2 defensively sound swedes do their thing?

 

[SimplySensational]

He did, Ehrhoff is a left handed shot, Holtby should of kicked the puck away or covered, Ovechkin did his job Holtby didn't.

Holtby gets a start based upon a really ****** game by the Canadiens and he makes Oates pay for his stupidity.

 

[Corby78]

overall a nice period. alot of time in their zone. We continue to give up shots right in front of the net though.

 

[Capitlols]

If your not going to fire Oates, fire Calle.

OV did try hard, but the guy got a shot off, so there is some blame on Alex too.

Edit: Holtby didn't play bad, i was just getting ready to post that he had couple of nice saves, and Buffalo scores...

Let me repeat again.

Ehrhoff, is a left handed shot. Ovechkin is a right handed shot. He bodied Ehrhoff, gave Holtby time to kick it. If Ehrhoff doesn't get it, Moulson was there too.

Holtby ****ed up and had a ***** fit at the referee for his mistake.

Not really.

Listen, i understood what you said the first time, and i will repeat also, i don't give a **** if he shoots R or L, it's obviously better for him if he plays left handed, but OV could've leveled him (which i understand isn't his primary job he is not D-man) and we wouldn't be talking right now.

 

[Corby78]

nice breakout by brooksie

 

[Fallschirmyager]

That was a weak call at best.

 

[Corby78]

well that will teach orlov to play the body....

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

 

[Langway]

And here...we...go...

 

[SkinsFan09]

At this point, all I care about is Ovechkin scoring. The roster is a mess, the lineup Oates is running is worse and GMGM is hopefully on his last legs. This is a wasted season.

 

[um]

for ****s sake Carlson, have you learned nothing from Ovechkin?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Classic Holtby arm waive to cover the gaping short side. Nice finish though...

 

[RandyHolt]

i would like to see Wiggy Wilson pot a goal and force Oates to give him more ice time.

 

[Corby78]

should be 3-2 buffalo right now

 

[RandyHolt]

I don't know why but I get annoyed seeing players signaling frantically that the puck is over the netting. I guess Brouwer and friends are auditioning for their next career move.
