Post-Game Talk: Pens vs Holtbyism's laptop - 12:30 EST

[kicksavedave]

I dunno what you guys are blaming Sammy for, that was a snipe, top corner, it didn't go through him, he found the corner.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Woof caps

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Gonna be one of those games where we miss all of our chances and they bury theirs.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Not good....

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

He wasn't fired by the team though. He was fired by a certain executive.

Mario Lemieux was the captain both seasons he coached, he's currently part owner, you think they fired Olcyzk without Mario's approval? You think Eddie doesn't realize Mario most likely signed off on that?


He wasn't wronged by a certain executive, he was let go because he was horrendous. There is a reason it's the only team he ever coached.


Regardless, the point is that it's stupid to search for all sort of deep hockey state conspiracies. Olcyzk played for 6 teams, am I to believe he has to keep these biases all lined up while he commentates?

 

[Corby78]

I HATE noon games

 

[SpinningEdge]

Good learning experience for Samsonov

he needs to get lit up for once - 11 straight wins and it has been easy for him.

will be interesting to see how he battles back now

 

[kicksavedave]

Oooof, Sammy doing his Holtby impression on that own goal.

 

[searle]

Hornqvist is in my top 5 disliked players in the league right now.

Bad from Sammy, going to get a bit of a look of what he's made of by how he reacts to this

 

[shtorm2005]

Smash some penguins at least...

 

[SpinningEdge]

8 - 0 turnovers so far. Sloppy

 

[peterthegreat12]

Pens could field their AHL team against the Caps and the Caps would still struggle.

 

[kicksavedave]

Super sloppy.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Exactly the start to the game you don’t want for Sammy. Settle down....

 

[Blades of Steel]

Caps sag defensively way too much

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

Samsonov has that Varlamov aura about him. All the tools there but can't help but feel that something like this will happen on the regular basis from time to time.

I have seen literally 0 evidence of this. Can you give some more reasoning?

 

[SpinningEdge]

Good news is Ovi seems fast again? Kuzy seems to be playing fast/cares again too?

 

[Corby78]

I wonder if Ted could turn down the NBC weekend games?

 

[ovikovy817]

Didn't want Sammy to play that game

 

[Sam Spade]

I'm just glad hockey games are three periods and not one. Phew.

 

[kicksavedave]

Orlov with Gudas this shift.... discuss.

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

I wonder if Ted could turn down the NBC weekend games?

Teams have no say in the scheduling. NBC likely gets to select the matchups they want per their contract.

 

[Melkor]

I have seen literally 0 evidence of this. Can you give some more reasoning?

Technical lapses. Lost angles, little missteps in lateral movement. It's all there, just not catching an eye more often because he has managed to rack up Ws so far.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

We have been outplayed all game And still have a chance to tie it up with the power play

 

[searle]

Man Eller has the team on his back right now. Macco is out there somewhere hating it
