2016-17 Washington Capitals Thread - Thanks for Everything, Ovi. It's Time to Move on.. #Firesale

[mammajamma]

they need to get back to hitting people

[Zazzaro703]

I forgot half of playing the Pens is over coming the refs. Unreal we don't have a single power play but sadly par for the ****ing course against this team in the playoffs.

Holtby kinda soft tonight...again.

 

Only on the 2nd goal which I put all on him. He's kept the Caps in this. 

[mammajamma]

also, since when cant u poke at the puck until the ref blows the whistle? thats not a penalty

[Popeman38]

So, the Pens will have 2 VERY SOFT penalties on the Caps result in PPs

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Pens literally had been trying to hit that play all game

Soft?? That's generous. No way that is a slash on Niskanen. The puck was right there and loose. 

[Popeman38]

How the **** is that not a penalty?

[zoony]

Fleury 

[Warhead36]

Of course Fleury turns into Dominek Hasek vs us

[doncherry]

whistle never should have been blown.  puck was loose.

[Hersh]

Huge rebounds. Gotta put one of those in. 

[Popeman38]

Not a single ****ng call at home in the playoffs. Yet visiting team gets 2 gift PPs. 

[GoDeep81]

Game 1 Fleury > Holtby..

[Zazzaro703]

Sucks but we can beat this guys and they know it now. As we saw winning game 1 against the Pens means **** all. Make some adjustments and win game 2. 

[TradeTheBeal!]

Welp....better goalie wins.  We'll try again Saturday night.

[mammajamma]

need to tighten up the defense and we got this series. oh, and way better officiating. that was a joke

[Popeman38]

Home ice is supposed to buy you something in the playoffs. The benefit of the doubt shouldn't rest with the visiting team. 

[heyholetsgogrant]

Orpik looks a little slow....

[GoDeep81]

Clean sheet on the penalty front from Pitt??  lol

Here we go again. Do you know how many ****ing odd an rushes Holtby faced? The answer is WAY TOO MANY.

Not really. It's like you guys don't watch the game. How many rebounds did Fluery give up? A **** ton. Only difference is the Pens buried one rebound and the Caps did not. Hell, if not for the Pens D making a great play, Fluery gives one up on a rebound. 

[Zazzaro703]

Capitals had one bad minute of play and an low IQ play by Orpik. Holtby could have bailed them out and saved at least one of those goals but it is what it is. I still think we beat these guys.

[skinfan2k]

they lose game 2 and this series is over

[Redskin4ever]

Man, this should have been the Caps game. Holtby has to play better. The turnovers have to stop. Clean up those things, and the Caps can win this series.

 

The refs will suck all series. Tonight was atrocious. But just like the last series, you have to overcome those things if you want to win.

[Popeman38]

Ovechkin fouled in front of net and the refs ignore it, Pens score GWG. Image me that.
