I finally have daylight to try and watch a hockey game tonight and the Caps are playing... the Flames. Cool.

Jhet posted:This move was really awesome, but it's not going to work that well on any goalie that's awake. Goes to show that if you know the person you're shooting against you can really get in their head. Kuzy is like 45% on the shootout and he does this all the time against good goalies. It's hard for goalies to match that slow tempo so they wind up deeper in their net than they mean to and all the stick handles means they can't set their feet.

Levitate posted:Also neither here or there but it's a bit weird to me to see Caps fans so salty about Laviolette when he was obviously brought in to try to wring something out of the decaying corpse of that team, not to develop what mid young players the Caps might have. What's the alternative? We're supposed to like the guy?

SilvergunSuperman posted:Sens feel less fraudulent than the caps What is fraudulent about the Caps? They are last in the division and have a -10 goal differential. That seems about right. The Devils seem much better than their record

Looking forward to the Caps-Sharks poo poo-off today.

A Caps win without an Ovi dinger is basically a loss I think. YouTube TV has this feature where you can "get caught up on key plays" if you tune into a game late. I flipped on the Caps around the end of the second and it was seriously the most godawful highlight reel I've seen in a long time. Like they were including easily handled point shots because I guess there wasn't a ton else.

fawning deference posted:Karlsson, Letang, Graves, and Pettersson has time to get there. Those are not bad players. The overreacting seems ridiculous honestly. It should certainly be good enough to have the Pens be in the playoff mix like they are every year. People have been saying "this is the year they finally start to suck" for 5 years now and they always find a way to make noise in the second half. PAS is going to post expansive complaints about depth forwards nobody knows or cares about whether they are winning or losing, so it's kind of moot IMO

glynnenstein posted:https://twitter.com/capitals/status/1719723592366088699 It does sound like a not-retirement retirement. End of an era. Nicky B was my favorite Cap. With Dowd out we might get to see both McMichael and Lapierre get looks at center. Not sure either one has a ceiling much higher than Top 9 tweener, but I guess we'll finally see.

This summer at the beach I saw a father purchase his ~8-10 year old sons Primes and I did the surprised Pikachu face. I really don't think a balding NHL star from Arizona is moving the needle much for that demo though.

I know it's not the offseason, the customary time to bring this up, but I just wanted to say that Nicklas Backstrom should get into the HHOF on the same ballot as Ovechkin.

Backstrom is better than Adam Oates, who made it in. Two World Championships, silver in the Olympics*, all-star, Stanley Cup champ. *It was allergy medication, shut up. Chad Sexington fucked around with this message at 19:00 on Nov 1, 2023 |
# ¿ Nov 1, 2023 18:56 |

Backstrom ended with a 0.93ppg vs. Oates 1.06 but Backstrom is all post-lockout. Higher ppg than the Sedins.

Lol Caps were up 19 shots to 5 at one point and were losing 3-0.

The Caps looked pretty good in a losing effort. Someone should tell Ovi that, while we appreciate his playmaking abilities, he should probably try and score goal.

WeaponX posted:Didn’t predict Erik Gustafsson taking his spot and scoring 6 points in the 4 games since Fox went out. He did a similarly good job filling in for a dead John Carlson last year. I don't know why the dude doesn't get more respect or a better contract. He's a great fill-in offensive piece.

I am very confused by the Caps. But happy to see dudes like Lindgren and McMichael showing something. Even Sandin, who goofed to give a breakaway last night actually hoofed it and broke up the shot in a way I haven't seen a Caps defender do since like... ever?

Not even sure what you guys are talking about. He's got as many points as offensive luminaries like Corey Perry, Nick Foligno and Tom Wilson.

I still want him to have gotten fired for talking poo poo about the sexual assault cover-up. He can do that in an alcohol-fueled incident. Good Guy Drunk Creepy Rory is possible.

Caps have the fewest GF of any team not the Sharks and are somehow still 7-2-1 in their last 10 and in a playoff spot.
