Do the Caps have any fucking balls: ECSF Game 4 GNT

[pixburgher66]

They seem to be having very similar issues that the Pens did against the Bolts. Entries into the zone, not enough shots, not enough of a net front presence...basically, making life too easy on Roli (because he's basically got at least 5 insane slaves up his sleeve a night...just gotta keep throwing them at him), and when they do have more puck possession, they can't put the game out of reach, allowing for comebacks. The entries were very sloppy last night from the parts I saw (mostly the third) and I think that was because OV was just pushing it a bit too much. They need to enter with speed and together, not just one guy trying to beat the world, or a dump in while everyone is standing at the line. That and I think Neuvy (or Varly perhaps tonight? Not that it's Neuvy's fault they're down 3-0, just a change up) needs to steal one.

Exactly!!!!

We just need to win one game, and then another and so on.

Right now, win tonight!!!!


Go Caps!!!!

Any word on Green not playing at all in the 3rd last night??

 

[ritari330]

Heard that he had a significant limp when he was walking and it would take alot for him to play tonight

 

[ritari330]

And I disagree that Greenie is having a great series. He had a great first round series, but he has had a pretty bad 2nd round series. And I also think that Semin shouldn't be the one blamed at all especially when Backstrom has had the playoffs he has had

Two teams playing back-to-back days during the Stanley Cup never made much sense to me.

So I hear the back-to-back scheduling has to do with USF graduation getting in the way...is that true?

Fuck that! The education was already achieved! The ceremony is just a formality.

And a graduation ceremony on a Wednesday? Blasphemy!!!

Is that an indication that USF and St. Pete Times Forum weren't expecting the Bolts to still be playing at this point?

 

[DaBoltsNIsles]

It's all about ROLIE. GO ROLIE GO!!:

Did Ovechkin really have to give the other team bulletin board material?

I saw it scroll across the bottom of the screen on NHL Network. They're getting swept now... Sorry Caps fans.

As much as I'd love to see a sweep, I think he's right. Caps win this one.
