That was a scorer's goal - can't do any thing about that

For sure, but watch mcbackup he was standing up straight for some reason so if Ovechkin fanned on it it would still have gone in

 

[Mr Hockey]

Rielly backing in to far ...

 

[htpwn]

That's a great goal
Hard to defend that

This. Sometimes you have to tip your cap.

 

[Throw More Waffles]

wakey wakey Mcbackup

When Matthews scores goals that look very similar to that, we call it a great shot. We never say the goalie should have had it.

 

[Al14]

Love the all purple ads on the boards.

Yes, they're not as distracting. I like it!

 

[TMLS]

Can someone explain to me exactly what Komorov was doing in the neutral zone there? lol

showing his veteran presence.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Uncle Leo shouldn't be on the PP.

he shouldn't be playing at ES either. The guy is toast everywhere but on the PK

 

[Cleetus]

damn! we started on time too!

 

[FlareKnight]

Sometimes you can't stop them all.

Just need our goal scorers to pull off some 'you can't stop that' shots. Get it tied up.

 

[DopeyFish]

Yes. they're not as distracting. I like it!

i propose we paint them white

 

[Glenn Isildur Healy]

Our defense is giving their forwards way too much room on the rush

 

[MorrisSmit89]

matthews line has been pretty great tonight

 

[DarkKnight]

he shouldn't be playing at ES either. The guy is toast everywhere but on the PK

He is so good on the PK.

He didn't even move....at least he could have attempted....something?

 

[Anthrax442]

Didnt we use to be a 1st period team

 

[Not My Tempo]

Is Komarov really that much better defensively than Brown?

 

[MJ65]

For sure, but watch mcbackup he was standing up straight for some reason so if Ovechkin fanned on it it would still have gone in

I think that quick release surprised him - let's move on, still lots of time left and the good news is we are player better as compared to last night

 

[saffronleaf]

Hope Matthews picks up a few points tonight.

 

[Rare Jewel]

I am not sure if you can fault any one on that goal

Leo could've played it a bit better IMO.

Good shot though.

 

[BM14]

Yes, that too. For someone who does nothing else, Komarov can't be doing lazy fly bys like that.

He's playing very timid against Ovechkin. You can see it. He wants nothing to do with him.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

He is so good on the PK.

yes but it's not a good idea to give him a roster spot solely due to his PK work due to how atrocious he is everywhere else

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

there is the old Mctrash the team comes out flying, they have only given up what 4 shots? 1-0 Caps.....good job Mctrash

 

[garce]

Our defense is giving their forwards way too much room on the rush

If the forwards aren’t working in the neutral zone the defence have to back in.

 

[Cleetus]

hughson was so happy when OV scored I think he peed himself a little!

 

[egd27]

I am not sure if you can fault any one on that goal

Agreed

The greatest goal scorer of his generation works his magic. Been happening for years.

But of course some have to blame the goalie. Lol
