Post-Game Talk: Washington Capitals (kind of) vs Providence Bruins | 5/11/21

[HeyMattyB]

My g/f's reading twitter on the couch and she saw that Hags interview and was like, "Who's that handsome man with the glorious hair?" and I was like, "Oh boy, let me tell you ALL ABOUT Carl Hagelin. But, before we get started, let's rewind a bit so I can show you his breakaway prowess..."

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT GUY NEVER SCORED!"

 

[pman25]

Hagelin you donkey

 

[DWGie26]

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT GUY NEVER SCORED!"

We know what she’ll be thinking about in bed tonight!

 

[TRASHCAT]

Hair like that you don't need goals silly

 

[McVechkin]

Ovechkin looks good out there. Timing is off, but so far so good in calming our worries about him not being 100%. That doesn’t concern me based on the 2 period sample.

 

[pman25]

Wait a sec, Hagelin has six goals? I’m impressed

 

[troyerlaw]

Finally Hagelin gets a goal after so many chances.

You can’t stop him, you can only hope to contain him

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Glad Ovie is playing. This may be too much to ask but a goal to tie Dionne would be pretty cool.

 

[tenken00]

Wait. So we are the only playoff game scheduled so far?

They don't even have a date and time for Pens-Isles, TB-FLA or anyone else yet??

 

[SherVaughn30]

Vanecek is driving me nuts with his stupid fumbling of the puck!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

leave it to that dirt bag to do something cheap

 

[itsjustsurvival]

Hmmm.

 

[troyerlaw]

I liked weekes commenting on Hags taking a slapper on breakaway. Recalled Brian Rolston doing same thing because Rolston ‘had such a great shot.’ Didnt need to spell out the obvious, that Hags had a different reason for taking shot

 

[pman25]

I hate when they show replays of the completely wrong sequence of events but Locker just continues to analyze it anyway

Semin would and score on it

afaik, Caps G1R1 is the only one announced thus far. You figure NBC would want to be promoting the Pens' first game but maybe there's a curling match or some other competition that would conflict with Canadians watching their second favorite team.

I never did see what they did to get misconducts

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Looks and feels like a preseason game.

 

[Calicaps]

So why did the Caps announce what happened when Kuzy, Ovi, Sam (Orlov maybe - I forget) got put on Covid protocol earlier in the season for hanging out in a hotel room after a game - but now silence. Something is off here. Maybe I'm wrong but it just seems strange.

Whatever they did the day of the healthy scratch clearly was a problem. Typically things like that aren't discussed publicly and are handled in the room. It's reasonable to assume that whatever that was also led to the Covid protocol. So if they wouldn't discuss it after the healthy scratches, why would the Covid protocol change that?

Look, for all I know they were doing speedballs with the Rockettes. But the fact is we know next to nothing and all these claims that it's X or Y are pure BS.

Maybe it gets reported eventually and maybe not but as of now, we have zero information about Kuzy's status for the playoffs.

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Chara at 666 career points.

 

[RandyHolt]

C'mon Ovi get on the board for us

Maaaaar ceeeeeeel

I think we are saying the same thing in different ways.

 

[Calicaps]

I think we are saying the same thing in different ways.

I'm saying I doubt it's anything more than the Covid protocol at this point, but we don't know and most of the speculation has been ridiculous.

That said, I thing Kuzy's future with the team will depend on how he performs in the playoffs, assuming he plays.

 

[Calicaps]

Chara at 666 career points.

I'm actually shocked it's not higher than that with how many games he's played.

If it's Covid protocol then why not announce what happened I guess is where we differ. Shouldn't be such a big deal if they were playing video games in a hotel room after a game together. It's more than that. I promise.
