Shame we didn't bench Eller earlier, Mikey is doing great on the third line.

He has been out best forward through the playoffs IMO

 

[HTFN]

Thats a rough one not to keep in Sandin. We had them Wheeling

That whole play was almost certainly offside in the entry… I actually wanted the puck to go back out desperately just so it didn’t happen again and crush their momentum

 

[Pigskin]

cmon hockey gods ... we pushing hard

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Need dudes in front and just rip it. Keep it simple stupid.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Some screens please on Andersen!

 

[Hivemind]

Every second this game stays ties feels like a ticking timebomb. Need to convert something

 

[tenken00]

Chychrun is our #1D

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Keep Ovi and Strome off the ice. They are always playing in their own zone right now.

 

[Mr Nogatco]

Does our ice suck? It seems like our ice sucks.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Mikey-Lenny line has been good most of the night

I think it may be the worst in the league.

I think they have been fantastic.

Nice flash of playmaking by Leonard there in transition, but needs better shot selection. You aren't gonna score from the wing on an unscreened shot like that in the NHL if you're not Ovie.

I'm feeling a goal coming from the 21-80-43 line, they are due.

There wasn’t any other play.

They can't play together against a high pressure team in the playoffs, they have 0 pace. Unless they start in the O zone and get rolling, they're too easy for Carolina to pressure in the other 2 zones.

At least split them up.

I think this has been Leonard’s best game in a Caps uniform so far. Would love to see him rewarded on the score sheet.

 

[Block]

Maybe it's me, but I'm wondering if Carbury completely outcoached himself with a bunch of adjustments pre-series that threw the team off. Instead of playing their game with the quick tape to tape passes, they've looked like they've been second guessing themselves since game 1.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

so much for the not stressing plan for this game lol

Can Protas play Center?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Nothing says Caps hockey like a crushing double OT elimination. Lol...let's finish this in regulation either way, can't take OT tonight.

I dunno if it’s fair to say that was his bread and butter in college but he definitely scored a lot of goals like that. He picked a tough time to step into the lineup and learn by trial and error.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

What were the Caps fans singing

Can Protas play Center?

I feel like both him and McMichael are perfectly capable of playing center, especially now that they are both established NHLers.
