GDT: Threepeat contenders @ just happy to get some Ovechkin goals and two games of playoff revenue, 7:37pm

And look at that! Samsonov actually hangs on to his stick and makes a save with it

Hagel looks like a good one to watch for Kempny.

Jesus Christ the team D is a disaster.

As long as we score 5 goals a game I like our chances

Lavi’s system is way too aggressive for this team. You think he would’ve realized this by this point. Guess they are still figuring it out in the dressing room.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I think we've seen five players fall down on the ice in that area and a few give aways.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Odd man rushes.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

I was screaming at the tv pick up your stick

Yep, he had plenty of time.
I think maybe he needs the kind of mechanism that kids' winter gloves have so that if they come off their hands there's a strap that ensures they remain around the wrist.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Mic'ed up Kuzy is fun.

 

[troyerlaw]

Can somebody explain why Samsonov didn't pick his stick up when it was right there to his left?? Was it broken or something?

Totally mystifying. I was waiting for Pang to make same point

I thought he was going to shatter glass with his explanation.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

The battle of two teams who are playing like crap.

Yeah that doesn't work. My dad used to yell at the TV every time the evening news came on

 

[IafrateOvie34]

So far and I know it's way too early, but Larsson is disappointing.

 

[troyerlaw]

I realize he’s working back from hernia surgery but Larsson looks slow. Not an attribute we needed any more of. AJF next game please

I think i just need to keep doing it. Eventually it’ll break through

Yikes, totally forgot the hernia recovery. No doubt that is going to hamper a hockey player.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

No holding the stick penalty on Tampa?

 

[Devil Dancer]

Just called Kucherov Kuznetsov.

 

[PlushMinus]

The commentator keeps mixing up Kuzy and Kucherov, or am I imagining it??

 

[pman25]

Larsson seemed like an odd choice to trade for. He’s probably a 4c, that’s where he’s played mostly and we have plenty of Cs. And he’s coming off surgery and they give up a 3rd for him. Kinda pricey for a 4LW coming off an injury

I can accept him being slow and working his way back but the effort on that goal was inexcusable. He literally waved at the puck that was his for the taking

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Lame icing call.

 

[Capsman]

Sweet!!!

 

[troyerlaw]

That and Sammy not even reaching for the stick at left post were just mind bogging

 

[Capitals40]

Yes sir!
