Harbingers

Longevity is my concern. If we were going to interject Pyotr into the series this is the last chance. Freddie has to game 6+7 unless he was to absolutely give away like 6 goals in a game.

So basically last change matters on expected goals outside of 1 and 2.

Caps are missing 4 defensemen and OV’s been nonexistent. Best I’m hoping for is a full goon out at this point.

Legit question. I’ve been way too absorbed with hockey and basically didn’t pay attention to the draft at all besides us jumping up in the first. What do you grade it?

I think the question people should be asking. Do we go back to Freddie or do we give Pyotr a shot. I think everyone knows the answer that will happen. Especially since Rod said Freddie will be available Tuesday with the extra day off. But who are y’all feeling.

I don’t like taking goalscorers in these playoff games even Mackinnon but I said fug it.

I’d want to see his body of faceoff work at C. I think knowing Rod his sample size is probably not up to snuff and I bet you Jarvis would readily admit he’s not good enough. I think next year he could make the move though depending on how things shake out.

Ya I took him as a goal scorer thought he scored too cause the Avs radio broadcast I was half paying attention to. Fugging bumper sound bite.

Jarvy will move to center. I think 2C… I think we hoped KK would be staals replacement but that poo ain’t happening short term.

McKinnon fugged me. I had a 4 leg parlay on the game and he was the only one I missed.

If we fudge Tuesday then people can get their panties in a bunch. Yesterday was overkill for the position we were in.

I just tuned in and watch the last few shots. What I mean is he looks crisp for being a third stringer or what ever. Good reaction time, nice rebound control.

We don’t need svech on 1 right now, unless they start gooning again. I’d go Guenz-Aho-TT Svech-KK-Necas I stand by more original lines, dropping Necas to 4… but.

Idk who this Vancouver goalie is but he’s solid.

I mean seriously, if we benched players for missing an empty net once a game we wouldn’t have a roster to start. KK isn’t great this year but he’s been serviceable, hopefully he’s just having a Necas slump, but I’m not too sure he hasn’t hit his ceiling here unfortunately though. Moral of the story though, KK is what we got. We aren’t throwing a perennial AHL player into the playoffs without a practice since like training camp. It’s far more likely we put Comtios in and move Drury to center a line in a HYPOTHETICAL situation.

No. He’s already been called up as a black ace, we aren’t going to Suzuki because we lost one flipping game. KK is playing better than you think, just because he missed a goal doesn’t mean he’s bad. Kuz on the other hand, has some issue and I don’t know what it is. He’s not playing crisp, he’s either trying too hard or not enough. I’m not sure you can say he’s at the bottom of +/- every game because he’s not in the playoffs.

Seriously… I don’t even remember which company/product this is despite having heard it like 500+ times.

Well at least somebody pulled a stasny to end a playoff game in OT.

Such a dirty ass rat.

Swaymen is gonna pitch a shutout isn’t he.

Idk if it was part of their strategy, I think even Tripp mentioned it in game 3. But they were doing nothing to keep their top line away from Staal or Aho.

The caps have 2 starting defensemen and I expect Rempe to take another one out tomorrow.

Fugging rags are gonna be the first team done. There is no way I see the caps missing 4 defensemen stealing one from the rags. Not.

He’s vulnerable to the close game but at least so far not the tip game.

I expect a strong showing. I wish Rod would have flip flopped svech and Jarvis during OT 1 I think that would have done it. Especially since the isles were actually playing hockey and not gooning, no need for an enforcer with Aho and Guenz. Speaking of Guenz that dude needs to get it in gear. He was nonexistent today.
