To be fair to Trotz, Shattenkirk was rear end last night. Probably his worst game in a Washington uniform. Still no excuse for most of his usage decisions. Too much 4th line, not enough 3rd line, not enough Ovie, Carlson against Toronto's top line.

Rinne has been a brick wall so far, holy poo poo

The top 3 full-game goalies are under 1 GAA and over 0.95 SV%.

Dubnyk is at 1.86 and .923 without a win. bobrovsky is at 2.88 and .897, only ahead of Anderson and Elliot.

The st louis/nashville series could be the most boring goalie games of all time. Edmonton/Anaheim could be a hilarious blowout if Gibson stays cold and Talbot stays hot.

Coaches get up their own rear end about how gritty you have to be in the playoffs it's loving stupid. Then they get up their rear end about how "we need energy and you fancy pants scorers just aren't bringing it let's run out Tom Wilson so he can hit someone take a charging penalty

With the dumb thing being that Ovi has been playing great by all reports so why the gently caress are you giving him 15 minutes. Fuuuuuuuuuck it man put him on the PK if you can't get more minutes for him otherwise\

e: Carlson turning into absolute poo poo is interesting to see though

Honestly a lot of it was that, like Slappy Pappy said, Toronto was hemming the Caps into their own zone with an aggressive forecheck. I love Ovi, but he is not a great transition player and hasn't been for a long time. Caps fans always get on their feet at Verizon Center when he rumbles through the neutral zone, but he can't do poo poo with the puck at the blue line and almost always coughs it up.

If they were able to set up more in the offensive zone like they are capable of doing, they could get Ovi more ice time and pick Toronto's lovely defense apart. There's been spots in this series where it looks like a Caps PP when it's 5v5, but they haven't scored often enough to put the games away.

I'm ok with this.
I really enjoy watching people blow a tire skating backwards or turning and doubly so if it's a defenceman.

I also like that goalies are allowed to be inventive with their masks. I wish more sports allowed art on equipment.

one of my coworkers used to be an autograph hunter in the '90s and had encounters with a lot of players from that time, but hasn't watched hockey as much in recent years. he had never heard of the mark messier leadership award but was totally unsurprised when i explained that it was an award mark messier decided on his own to award to players at his sole discretion for exemplifying mark messier's best quality. then he shared a story of how mark messier snubbed a kid looking for an autograph, so the kid called him a hairless ape and messier got mad and chased him a couple blocks down the street in his suit

I also love a good elbow. I'm not a Messier fan but this is one of my favorite youtube videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEgp-URw070

Watching this I can't help but think, "Marc Messier is the platonic ideal of a hockey player." I can't think of another player that was/is as brutal and skilled simultaneously. At least not in my life time. Sure, Gordie Howe, but a lot of his peak isn't recorded.

I love Richter here. He's skates through the background, just :aaa: for 5 seconds in disbelief.
I counted 18 punches here. You can yell all the poo poo you want, idgaf, but if you actually try to get physical with a professional athlete, you are dumb as gently caress.

Early Eric Lindros before his brain turns to mush is a contender for that as well. There is a YouTube video that shows all the highlights but I'm phone posting atm and can't find it.

There's a certain irony in that this series is a failed off-the-mask-of-MAF save from being tied. Dubinsky had him beaten in OT in Game 3 and MAF got back just in time to have it ring off his lid.
