Koopa Kid posted:The point he’s making is that for half the season last year the Leafs did have worse goaltending than Murray, like significantly and notably, and they ended up with 115 points. Every fan of a team with bad goaltending thinks their goalie was the worst in the league, but from January onward the Leafs had everyone beat. idk my goaltender was dogshit garbage and then your team went and signed him so

Cartoon Man posted:Last night was the full dress rehearsal for the Caps and I liked what I saw, especially from Keumper. Knock on wood Oshie is ok, but let’s be real, the odds of him making it through an entire season without something happening was always going to be slim. We’re still going to be a bubble team but if Keumper stands tall, we’ll be on the inside looking out for most of the season. Strome and Brown are looking really good in their roles too. It's kind of why I'm not super worried about Osh. Plus if he hosed up his shoulder at least that means McMichael can slot in somewhere because otherwise he's not going to be anything other than their extra roster forward.

Doesn't matter how good someone is at defence, McDavid is better at the rush than anyone is at stopping it so it's going to happen eventually. https://twitter.com/hayyyshayyy/status/1532517038928830473 I'm sure he has or will clown Cale at some point but still.

Cocaine Bear posted:Paid about 130 for 4 beers in a box at a leafs game after all the gratuities and add ons. It was a work thing so it was expensed but still felt real cool dropping a bill and a half on like 6 bucks worth of beer. Between COVID and prices I am struggling to think of when I'll next attend an NHL game in person. Maybe in like 5 years when my kid is old enough? At least the animated board ads also make watching on TV less pleasant too, so there's some parity.

Eric the Mauve posted:I not only never touch stadium concessions but also dehydrate myself for a couple hours before game time, so as not to have to choose between missing game action going to piss or waiting in line and elbowing through huge crowds to do it during intermission. Probably the strongest argument for the expensive all-inclusive ticket packages they sell in D.C. is a separate pisser for people with money. For me it was that or miss the last minute of the period to beat the rush to the urinal.

There was a better angle on the broadcast that showed how crossed up he got by the one-touch pass and how disengaged from the follow-up. Also consider that he lost the foot race to David loving Krejci.

Koopa Kid posted:Samsonov let in a brutal goal early, but actually settled down and other than his puck handling looked sharper down the stretch. Murray’s gonna have to hope he can turn it around against the Sens. Helps that the Caps had like 20 shots, mostly from the outside. A new weird thing about the board ads: seeing ads for Ledo Pizza and Caps youth hockey camps on the Toronto boards.

Cartoon Man posted:It’s two games back to back and they’ve had bad bounces not go there way. They clearly have problems, Carlson and the Power Play being the obvious, age another, but it’s not dogshit garbage tier. Both goalies have looked good. They have gotten goals (pretty much exclusively) from their depth. The old man line looked poo poo last night. And the top line has not been dangerous like a top line should be. Hopefully they can sort things out against the Habs.

Caps finally get a win against a bottom-feeder! And then have four games in a row against teams that are currently winless. I genuinely wonder if they booted Kuzy off PP1 as punishment for being garbage or if they're really just interested in getting different looks after whiffing against Boston and Toronto.

fawning deference posted:They also badly need somebody on the team who has won anything at all. Palat is fine, I think the problem is using as their first line left winger. Palat should be on the third line and the top six should have actual scoring talent on it in his place. I hear Patrick Kane is available.
