Post-Game Talk: Gluten-Free Ovechkin

[Kords]

Funny 32thoughts today.

To sum up, Trouba tried to kill a poor player who was falling down.

Rangers are divers.

Canes outplayed the Rangers both games.

Those dudes hate the Rangers so much it’s great.

Roslovic reminds me of Zherdev the way he skates and stick handles. silky smooth player but a softy.

 

[Fitzy]

I have a feeling it's gonna be Chytil for Rempe and Jones for Gus next game.

Maybe with Chytil but I’d be shocked if they cycle out Gus after wins

I love being scumbags. I want a team full of them. Carolina is full of diving whiners with none worse than their bird of a coach.

I love their misery. I could bathe in it.

When you look up the word insufferable in the Canadian dictionary, it reads:

Friedman, Elliotte and Marek, Jeff eh

Now the series gets interesting. Carolina is SO much better at home than on the road in the playoffs (it's really quite stark how different their record is).

We have to steal one.

lol thanks for saving me a listen

The Jerks getting out jerked? Bummer.

The Canes are an ideal opponent for him since they aren't very physical. The Caps, I think, pushed the issue a lot more with him and had some success at times. But he seems to be getting into a groove at the right time.

Sorry Rempe. Stu is still number one

Zherdev didnt skate as fast as Roslovic. Roslovic has nowhere near the hands of Zherdev

Trouba keeps trying to lose it but the rest of the team won't let him

 

[Sayba]

Kakko's ice time took a hit in the line line shuffling due to Rempe not playing. Several times I noticed Cuylle was with Goodrow.

He hasn’t been noticeable this series, Carolina’s speed is not a good matchup for him either.

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

Kakko played only 11:25 in a game that went to double overtime

As one of his biggest defenders here, he didn't deserve the time in that game. That was his least noticeable of the playoffs so far. He wasn't really a net negative but he didn't have a lot of jump. Once the game was in the 3rd and Rempe wasn't gonna see the ice, he got lost in the line mixing shuffle a bit.

 

[GAGLine]

Trouba took 4 penalties yesterday? and was to blame for the giveaway that led to their last goal. the guy can't skate and takes dumb penalties.

And Canes fans are crying about Trouba's missed hit on Necas, saying they want him suspended for intent to injure. Are they trying to help us? lol.

 

[TominNC]

Interesting that there's so much talk about refs call in our favor in OT when the talk before the game was how these refs clearly favor Canes over us.

With all of the LITERAL brainworms in the news this morning (Google it if you don't believe me, LOL), perhaps North Carolina is a cesspool full of them. Wouldn't shock me having family down there and all.

Game 1, I could see, if you want to look at it from an absolutist lens and ignore the respective PP time.

Game 2, at worst, was even. We went chance for chance with a chance-generating team, and outchanced them.

Trouba's elbow went up because his head was about to go through the glass. What's he supposed to do? Take it on the chin?

From my view of Game 2 (about mid-way through the re-watch without commercials), it looks like the only way people could think that Carolina was "better" was if they stopped watching after the second period. They were a bit better than us but the Rangers seemed (if the MoneyPuck chart is to be believed) to just start taking over after the second.

Yeah, but the big brained Canes fans think he was more concerned with killing Necas than he was about his own neck.

You can't win with people who are like this. They aren't serious, they don't know the sport, and they don't care to learn.

Canes fans in a nutshell:

trouba shudnt have raised his arms after necas bailed out of a hit so that he could have face planted on the boards. ill give the benefit of doubt to necas for simply losing his balance there but if hes ducking and sliding out of hits along the board then hes a scumbag. so f***ing dangerous for a player to submarine another player on a hit.

 

[bl02]

Coach saw what we all saw. He sucked. Guy who supposed to do well against man to man Carolina defense completely invisible. Washington gifted him a goal otherwise he would be zeroes across the board.

completely unhinged response from those calling out trouba.

 

[Nyr88nyg]

This was probably low key the series winner. Losing in double OT after expending all that energy is devastating

 

[Machinehead]

LOL @ that canes call.

It's depressing for sure, but I give them a lot of credit for putting the blame squarely on the Hurricanes instead of whining.
