Post-Game Talk: Caps @ The Powerhouse - 12:30 EST

[effen]

He can't receive a pass.. It's the weirdest thing...

I wonder if this will be another Andersson skating thing where it was plainly obvious there's a problem and a buncha people reflexively criticized the people observing the very observable phenomenon and used a little mild gaslighting.

Not yet, but there's time. I believe.

I’ve never seen a team refuse to conver the front of the net more than this one does.

Never.

Basic hockey 101 is a complete misunderstood concept here

They aren't kidding when the say hockey is different here.
Totally on brand.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I was 30 seconds ago years old when I learned Burakovksy is Swedish

Really? hahaha. It's a bit confusing, but if a guy named Virtanen can be Canadian, and a guy named Galchenyuk can be American, it should come as no surprise that Burakovsky is Swedish

There are easily 15 Ranger teams in the last 30 years who were worse at it than this group.

I never really looked. Just assumed he was Russian.

 

[duhmetreE]

I thought Staal played it decently..

 

[Rempe73]

Shattenkirk, control the puck please

 

[Kovalev27]

Mika getting the PR push today well deserved too.

 

[CasusBelli]

Angry Buch is so funny, never would’ve imagined he’d become so feisty

He’s like Popeye upon having spinach. Guy can’t protect a puck to save his life but suddenly takes down bigger guys in a fight.

 

[Machinehead]

Zibanejad is a terror

 

[duhmetreE]

How's that not a penalty? clearly interfered

 

[BringBackLibertys]

Smith opposite 22 on this D shift... ??

IGNORE: I think it was ole Libor.

 

[will1066]

What's the point of these shift timers if kovalev is not in the ice?

 

[BringBackLibertys]

But puck drop is almost always 5+ minutes after the start time.

The tv time for this game was 12:00PM dude. Seriously, they were on the air 30 minutes before the game.

 

[Leonardo87]

Mika getting the PR push today well deserved too.

Yeah he has flown under the radar this season. Believe he is in the top 20 among centers in points. Not too shabby. Lol

 

[Filthy Dangles]

i know it's cool to shit on Staal but he actually defended that odd man rush pretty well. Forced Burakovsky into a not so dangerous shot, Georgie should have stopped that puck.

 

[duhmetreE]

Mika just needs to rip it

 

[Rempe73]

Smith, are you f***ing kidding me on that one?

 

[Killem Dafoe]

Smith just chillin in the zone while the play is outside of the zone. lol

 

[duhmetreE]

Nice back check by Chytl

 

[Rempe73]

Oh alright. I thought the game time said 12:30. Thanks.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Komarov being Estonian is another one. It just doesn't fit. And of course Zuccarello, which sounds like Italian cheese, being Norwegian and Zibanejad who sounds like he could be in Sadam Hussein's cabinet being Swedish...

It's definitely a global community

 

[will1066]

I thought Staal played it decently..

He did. It was a 3 on 2. Caps are getting lots of odd man rushes

 

[duhmetreE]

All Pionk does is rip pucks off the glass. Has no vision to make a play. Awful dman

Mentioned this the other day.. IT's why you can't have him and Staal together

 

[Rempe73]

Nice outlet, Libor

 

[Kovalev27]

i know it's cool to **** on Staal but he actually defended that odd man rush pretty well. Forced Burakovsky into a not so dangerous shot, Georgie should have stopped that puck.

It’s true to an extent. That shot should not beat an nhl goalie though for sure a bad one

Wilson having an English name being an insect is another one.
