[Sergei Shirokov]

Looked like a dive to me

Now THIS post was genuinely clever and humorous!

I try my best

Amusing watching Laine in a foot race.

Looks to me he is laboring something again. Considering his injury history, he's lucky to be playing at all.

 

[Miro4Norris]

Demidov has not been doing anything since his amazing debut game

 

[Channelcat]

Worthless garbage. if they ignored it it was an obvious dive.

It was a dive

 

[Sparky]

Also no trip penalty???

Enh, offensive zone on the PK in the playoffs. Yeah, probably should have been called but bad no-calls happen.

...if you were chained to the Bottom Sixers, you would be too...Marty brilliance...

 

[Favster]

The most physical team in the league is also the one that flops the most. Embarassing stuff from the Caps

 

[TropicalFruitGirl2]

The NHL will be looking into Spencer Carbery now....
He said his team was "given some juice".

Somewhere out there, Aaron Ekblad is going... "Heyyyyyyy!!!!"

I don't know, he's never been a great skater, and has trouble just balancing on skates. Might be an injury.

I miss CCM jerseys

Yup he's looked pretty much terrible, his skating stride is atrocious, makes you wonder if he can even improve it with that form.

wash just turned on the jets

Playoffs can really show off the stupid players that’s for sure

Absolutely. Sometimes guys are pleasant surprises, others not so much.

He's a rookie, so, COULD he, sure, will he? We shall see.

There's this reddit poster who probably has the deats!

Barely notice him actually.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Hutson was making some pretty dumb passes over to Suzuki down low when Laine was open and tickling the rafters. Kinda looked like he was hot dogging a little trying to do something that wasn't the obvious play there.

That is what he should be doing. Just setting up Laine will go nowhere. The goalie will be waiting for the shot.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

Habs completely dominated at both ends of the ice. They have no business being in this game.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Barely notice him actually.

To be fair, he's playing with Evans and a guy not as good as Evans.

 

[TotalHomer]

I don't know, he's never been a great skater, and has trouble just balancing on skates. Might be an injury.

He's never been agile, true, but he had deceptively good straight line speed before. But those days are gone, might end up having a short career.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Leonard is gonna be a heck of a player

 

[PanniniClaus]

Mid ice breakout not caught by Evans.. nearly a goal. Can't have it.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

I think it's an effort issue, particularly on the back check. That entire powerplay, he's just standing in the dot with his stick raised signalling to both teams that he's ready.
