Series Thread: First Round - Washington Capitals vs. Philadelphia Flyers

[Retroram52]

White just got nailed with a high stick. It came from VandeVelde's stick during a defense and the Caps got a penalty. We are 1-21 on the PP and we need to get going. Simmonds draws a penalty and now we have a 5 on 3 PP.

So, the 4 minute call was a joke...2 minutes, the shot that did the damage was a team mate.
NOW the trip...that is a bit of a make up.

Take advantage!!!

 

[Retroram52]

That sucked. We telegraphed that shot so badly that Holtby was in position and waiting for Gostisbehere's shot.

 

[Retroram52]

Our woes continue on the PP. This is pathetic.

I'm disgusted with our PP. Ugh, now we just got scored on.

 

[Retroram52]

Crap. Neuvy held the Caps scoreless for 72 straight shots until that goal ended it.

 

[Retroram52]

Beckman is an idiot. These guys need complete facemasks that cover the entire facial area like a football player. It would prevent injuries to the face at least.

Crap...that dam Caps team is good. Flyers are going to have to go out and scorch earth this thing...fights, board blasting and tossin pucks on net instead of corner dumping.

Looking forward to the third.

Why do we look slow getting the puck up ice? Shit we can't get quality sog on Holtby.

 

[mall3013]

Well, the season is on the line here. We need to control the puck and get some quality chances on Holtby. We need to throw everything at him if that is even possible. The Caps look much faster on both ends.

 

[wbon22]

It's very simple. There are 20 minutes left to play.
The Flyers have to win this period 2 - 0 to keep playing hockey this season.
That is really all there is.

Been a great game so far, great goaltending & lots of hitting. Wish the Flyers could get something going offensively tho, doesn't even seem like the Flyers are trying to score.

I think that gift of having a 5-3 and not getting a goal is going to kill us. It was an embarrassment to see that shit show. No attempt to put the puck on the net and when they did Holtby knew where the shot was going and no screen in front of him. WTF man? The season on the line and this is what we get.

 

[mall3013]

If Washington wins this, they will be pretty bruised up for the next series. Oshie is out now apparently. Orpik and Oshie..

 

[Retroram52]

The game has definitely been brutal. Schenn is banged-up now. As has been stated. We need throw everything at Holtby are we are done for this year.

This would be a good time for Giroux to step up IMO, this is the only point he has in the series so far...

Both G and Voracek have been shut down. White has been the best player imo. Schenn has been solid as well.

Yeah, it's been pretty much Schenn, White, & MacDonald on offense, no one else.

 

[Retroram52]

I don't know why we are not going hard to the net today when we have the puck. We just pull up and then stand around.

 

[DoobeeDoobeeDoo]

Forgot about Gagner, he's been good too.
