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

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Burakovsky and Kuznetsov both missing two golden chances personifies why this team ain't winning **** 

[Captain James]

THIS team can beat the Pens

[Hersh]

The Caps 4th line is playing AWFUL hockey. You cannot allow 2 of their guys to get scoring chances when you have 4 or 5 guys back. LAZY playing. 

[zoony]

Good grief is this a Pens power play?

[Springfield]

I would not feel bad if Kunitz took a headshot from Niskanen.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Terrible puck clearances. 

 

They'll score on a broken play soon 

[Popeman38]

How the **** is that not interference on Kunitz? He looked to hit Oshie.

And then they call a bogus penalty on us. 

[Zazzaro703]

This is brutal need a 3 goal lead so I can relax jeez. I'll take my smoke break out the window so my back is turned during the kill.

[Popeman38]

Welcome to Pittsburgh, where Bettman DEMANDS the Pens be treated like a original 6.

Caps are trying to blow this opportunity. Really sloppy play. They should be energized with no Crosby. 

[zoony]

So Malkin looks like a beast compared to everyone else on the ice so I just googled him, he is shorter and lighter than me. 

 

Guess everyone playing hockey is a shrimp?  Would love to see some top tier athletes learn the sport

Zoony, you must be a monster yourself 

 

Malkin is a tank 

[DogofWar1]

Such an unnecessary hold by Orpik.

[Popeman38]

Unbelievable penalty call. They let a dirty blindside hit go and call THAT?

That is NOT a penalty.

I think he's like 6'2", 210.  Isn't he?

Chara in his prime used to maul people. He ran out of gas this year.

 

opps that was meant for zoonys post.

When they aren't calling interference for that hit on Oshie, I agree.  Reffing has been weird and inconsistent at best, terrible at worst.

[Popeman38]

Kunitz HUNTED that hit. Should be reviewed by league. 

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

Unbelievable how this team simply cannot put the ****ing puck in the net. 

 

Truly unbelievable 

 

year after year 

[Hersh]

That was definitely a trip, but is any one really surprised they aren't calling penalties on the Pens and the Caps have started going to the box. Maybe Trotz needs to cuss out the refs before the 3rd period. 

[Zazzaro703]

Have a real bad feeling we will score a max of 2 goals so I hope Holtby can be perfect.

[Springfield]

I didn't really see a penalty there.  I saw Kuznetsov get laid out, I didn't see him trio anyone.  No replay, typical NBC.

[Popeman38]

And now KUZY gets dumped and is called for tripping. Either call interference or ignore the results of the free interference like the guy gettting decked getting tripped over.

Of course, Sullivan cried to the refs that Crosby was out so the refs needed to pick up their slack.
