Post-Game Talk: Jerks vs Caps

[notDkristich]

Move Eller and Orlov to PP1, or replace Oshie in the slot and backstrom on the wall.

Reirds was not the right pick for this team. Shoulda just paid trotz.

Ohhhhhhhhh boy. Not this sh*t again.

 

[Coldplay619]

Remember when whoever played in that bumper spot scored a bajillion goals?

I remember.

Is this for real? They're the top team in the entire NHL. Tonight they're playing with 5D, missing a top-6 forward, and with the flu going through the locker room, after having played last night and traveled. And the main problem tonight has been 70. WTF are you thinking?

 

[troyerlaw]

Oh def not. But the last goal feels like a back breaker and with only 5d....that is tough.

Especially when we are pissing away PPs. We never even got set up on that last one. At least eller came on and figured out it was time to dump in instead of continuing to give it away on the zone entry

Trotz got swept by these Canes.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Man I love Trotz and scoring 2 goals a game in the playoffs

Literally first in the league and you post this, lol.


We're playing without our top line RW and our 2D against a team that went to the ECF last year and we're pretty much their only rival.


Barry, mind you, still has only once ever advanced beyond the second round. If you're not going to believe Reirden is the answer because 1 and 1/4 season, not sure you can disregard Barry's entire career because one season he finally got past the first round.

 

[troyerlaw]

Trotz got swept by these Canes.

Went deeper in playoffs than we did

 

[Calicaps]

It is, however, time for some fresh thinking on the PP. Not saying Forsythe necessarily needs to go, but he needs to get out of his comfort zone.

 

[Calicaps]

Went deeper in playoffs than we did

He won 1 more game.

 

[TRASHCAT]

that pens team was not good

 

[twabby]

I like how we’re complaining about coaching because of a game where the play has been even except one goalie has been really bad.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

He won 1 more game.

There's only so much turtling one can do.

Move Eller and Orlov to PP1, or replace Oshie in the slot and backstrom on the wall.

I think Kuzy is having a very negative effect on the PP and on his line. I don't think Reirden is the type of coach to do it but maybe he needs to bench him or make him a healthy scratch for a game

A few consultants available....

He's the only one able to bring the puck in on the PP.

Maybe sit him because he’s hurt but a healthy scratch. No. Never


Edit: if you healthy scratch Kuz you might as well trade him

 

[AussieCapsFan]

If that is true then there is even more reason to be concerned about the PP.....

 

[shtorm2005]

Hopefully, playoffs don't start today. This team has problems.

 

[um]

what was our PP record when Vrana replaced Backstrom on the PP? it was nice having a shooter on the right side. He was also a 2nd option to enter the zone.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

No puck luck for Oshie

PP coming

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Maybe sit him because he’s hurt but a healthy scratch. No. Never

I am not a coach so I don't know how best to motivate players. But it seems to me somebody needs to light a fire under his ass

 

[TRASHCAT]

two minutes of tripp tracy whining

 

[peterthegreat12]

Kuzy heard us say he sucks.
