Post-Game Talk: Game 5: Capitals VS Islanders

[SpinningEdge]

Big win in game 4 for the caps to get back home ice! They’ll be rocking the red tonight. Lol.

8pm start.

Game notes:
Ovechkin has been on the ice for every Capitals goal so far this series.

The Capitals under Todd Reirden are UNDEFEATED in elimination games. *

The Washington Capitals have shut out the NY Islanders and locked them down defensively. **

Backstrom is once again a game time decision.

Kuznetsov went back to his old stick recently and stopped using a more technology advanced stick and has played his best hockey in awhile with his old stick again

If you’re local, the game will once again be on NBC Washington (so you can hear Joe B & Craig call the game).

If the series keeps being extended then game 6 & 7 are currently scheduled to be back to backs.






* since August 18, 2020
** since second period August 18, 2020

This is a desperate battle to save us from fancy stats.

I love me some optimism? Got them losing eh?

 

[shtorm2005]

Good luck Caps. Try to get a lead or a tie by the time 3rd period starts. Otherwise, it's hopeless.

A noble cause indeed

Let's see what the guys in red are made of.

Called the 3-2 score last game so let's go 2-1 Caps this time.

I don't think the goals come as easily for either side tonight. The X-factors are injuries of course, but if the "just have fun" reboot gets taken a little too literally by some then we could see some careless plays that lead to scoring chances the other way.

Turtle vs Turtle!

Does Trotz have any nuts and bolts left to tighten even more? I know we do.

[StrikingDistance]

The fish stix have played their best hockey already...nowhere to go but down.

The Caps are trending upward. Think they bring more confidence into this one and drop the hammer.

4-1 Caps. Will someone other than Ovi, Oshi, or Kuzi please score? TIA

Let the battle of turtles begin!

 

[BobRouse]

We will win tonight and it will get real interesting.

if we lose don’t come at me. Blame Goon and TX for their buzzkill negativity and refusal to drink the koolaid
