Post-Game Talk: Caps

[noncents]

This isn't a good shot. You guys need Jesus.

low hard shot with miller streaking towards the net >> going wide fake shot pass. one of them has a chance to go in.

 

[Machinehead]

Hmmmm. Nuts notwithstanding, Lindgren is down and leaving entire top half of the net open.

I think they call that the butterfly.

If Miller got tied up by Carlson on the pass, why do you think he'd put a rebound in?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

This isn't a good shot. You guys need Jesus.

I mean even here... he can shoot it with good momentum toward the net. It's better than the weak bullshit he pulled.

whatever it's one play...

Trocheck bad angle shot. HFNYR - Trocheck you bum, why shoot?

Mika same exact angle plays the pass for an easy tap in. HFNYR - Mika why no shot! You bad at hockey.

Anyhow, team was gassed. 1 point tonight is huge.

Think the point is that people would like the team to drive the net with the puck or change the angle into the slot instead of constantly trying to force shots or force plays from bad angles from the outside. If Mika is making a play from that spot as a lefty then the puck is 8 feet more to the middle of the ice, so it's not a out where the player is, it's about where the puck is on these plays. The complaints arent as much about the play, it's more to do with this team always seemingly making plays with the puck at bad angles to the net.

Yeah he could shoot it.

That's a .930 look for the goaltender.

He did nothing worth dissecting and it's just the nature of 3 on 3.

You can't offense without giving up an odd man rush. That's why 3 on 3 sucks f***ing ass until somebody tries to make a play.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

The post above yours literally shows the clear passing lane and Miller beating his D.

What? No it doesn't... Carlson was on him like white on rice the whole time. he knew that was coming. it was a prayer thrown by yer boy that failed easily.

 

[Machinehead]

Or curl back and maintain possession like 95 percent of the players in the league do today. This still shot shows Carlson didn't "come out of nowhere" like you claiming in the gdt, Mika made a 100 percent hope play and it blew up on the team.

Oh boy, curl back and maintain possession!

 

[ReleasO The KakkO]

I think they call that the butterfly.

My point is he’s down very early, giving Zib some better options than a pass.

 

[80shockeywasbuns]

The amount of zibanejad in that OT was a war crime

 

[bleedblue94]

You can play better the whole game and not win a game.

So you're agreeing with me, good to know

 

[McRanger92]

I love that our bottom 6 is a bunch of young shit stirrers and the toughest fighter in the league in Samwise Carrick. He fed Duhaime. Also respect Parssinen dropping them. Othmann selling the call then telling Dowd to f*** off makes me want to keep him. Can we get him a real 3C?

 

[jerseyjinx94]

Good game against a good team. Power play was ineffective and that was the difference. Igor played well, I thought Vaak and Jones struggled a bit. Schneider was excellent until that 2 on 1 that he totally misplayed. Overall take the point and go win two weekend games and we’re looking good

 

[Machinehead]

So you're agreeing with me, good to know

I don't really know what your point is.

I thought we played pretty well in that game.

Sometimes you lose.

 

[bleedblue94]

Oh boy, curl back and maintain possession!

Or force a pass, turnover, and give up a 2 on 1 to lose the game?

You're literally acting like his only option was shoot or pass, and that anyone criticizing the hope play was set on him passing. Literally the entire league and the rangers have been prioritizing possession in overtime over bad plays like this. This isn't a foreign concept, but you do you!

 

[Siddi]

What? No it doesn't... Carlson was on him like white on rice the whole time. he knew that was coming. it was a prayer thrown by yer boy that failed easily.

You know what. I am not going to argue this. Not worth it man. We got a point and I am happy.

i need othmann to start stirring more shit

 

[SnowblindNYR]

These two teams really switched fates from last season to this season.

If Tom "Pretty Rempe" Wilson has 28 goals, you know *everything* is going right for you.

One way we can view the difference between our two seasons is we won all but one game that was decided in OT last year and this year it's literally the opposite. OT is a crap shoot but when it rains it pours.

Better PGT title:

“EEK-a.”

I was hoping "ass wristers" would make another appearance...

 

[DanielBrassard]

The problem with the play is there’s zero chance Zibanejad is getting that to Miller and then you got both forwards moving towards the net. A shot would have been better even if it was low percentage in that scenario. But I’m not getting too upset at 3v3. The PP really was the issue that game. That cost them both points.

 

[17futurecap]

Lavy liking the third period, and they got a pp goal, oh brother.

 

[bleedblue94]

This explains a lot, you're being snarky but don't even know what you're arguing about...

Point is that even us playing well we aren't good enough to beat good teams consistently. The caps are a very good team.

 

[McRanger92]

i need othmann to start stirring more shit

Agreed.

You guys were right, instead of passing and causing a 2 on 1, Zibanejad should have shot that right into Strome's stick and caused a 2 on 1.

I've been very critical of Zibanejad but when you're memeing, you're memeing.

Nice freeze frame, but he coasted around that stick and still never shot it

It was just a soft play instead of going hard to the net. Gotta continue ridding the soft mentality out. It will take time.
