Post-Game Talk: Caps vs Sabres 7pm Nov 8

Tissue Paper? I thought the answer was Jeff Schultz.

A 2 on 1 with Hathaway and Hagelin. Advantage: Buffalo.

Yeah it happens to every goalie. Our goalies seem to lose their net more than others but that is common for young goalies. When Holtby was a rookie he was even worse.

Right. So why is this a major concern? The same poster (or someone else who is always bagging on VV) was complaining about rebound control in another thread iirc and the stats show that's not a concern, either.

I don't have a dog in this fight...it can be VV or Sammy or someone else. But it's lame when people just shit on what these guys are doing, particularly when they're developing.

I get that experience at the position counts for something but it's like a guy from a neighborhood watch trying to find fault with every little thing that's happening at the FBI.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I did have to take the dog out so I missed about 15 minutes.
What did he do? He seems invisible out there.

Nothing spectacular.

Try not watching the games. It’ll make you smarter!

It's impossible to get smarter when you're already at peak smrt

Hathaway was right to completely ignore Hagelin there but holy shit, that was bad.

@MarkusKetterer I noticed your dude three times. Once he was just standing there doing nothing, once he had a nice stretch pass, and just now he passed it to our team.

 

[troyerlaw]

Vanecek has been solid

 

[Neil Racki]

Good for Jensen

 

[Holtbyisms]

f***ing ref gave vitek the snow shower.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

@MarkusKetterer I noticed your dude three times. Once he was just standing there doing nothing, once he had a nice stretch pass, and just now he passed it to our team.

So basically he’s a regular Buffalo Sabre

Carlson goallll

Oalllllll

Alllll

Llll

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

That works Carly goal?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Was fast hope Willy got it.

 

[Hivemind]

Hats? Or no deflection?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Hopefully the team learned this game….shoot the puck

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Carlson’s best game in a while. Good for him.

 

[amjay13]

Some talent out there.

 

[troyerlaw]

Did sheary touch that

"Wilson is looking for a hattrick, Ovechkin - for history"

 

[SherVaughn30]

On the 2nd goal? He did get back and recovered but it was a yard sale in the net.

Do any other goaltenders in the NHL overplay shots from time to time, in your expert opinion?

Not as badly as Vitek/Sammy. No other goalies come to mind in regard to their own control of movements.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

Did sheary touch that

Looks like it. But both the Caps and Sabres penalties were head scratchers

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Every time we play Buffalo I think of RH's favorite player, Gerbe.

 

[maacoshark]

Ovie ENG for me

I doubt they pull the goalie now that it's 5-2

 

[tenken00]

Buffalo ain't going away quietly

 

[AtNightWeFly]

What a big difference it makes on the PP when Carlson is actually shooting the puck!
