DogofWar1 Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 The Penguins lost 10 to 1? Wat...? I mean, yay, screw those guys, but holy cow how did that happen? Here's to hoping for many 10 to 1 losses for the flightless Pittbirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know the poor playoff performance every year is not just due to Ovechkin; he somehow has not made the difference either.

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Really hard to care much about this team during the regular season at this point the game was cool tho. Dont think they'll be a juggernaut this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's being lambasted as an individual for his team's playoff record, and then use a regular season team record to prove it's not a team issue but rather a him issue.

Hersh Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 Normally the Ovechkin discussion doesn't start until he's gone a few games without scoring or the Caps lose a few in row. Dude just had a hat trick in game one of a long as heck season. Per the team, there are certainly things I don't love about this team and I think GMBM made some mistakes. It will be interesting to see how the team evolves and if they struggle will Trotz be on the hot seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 ****ing Orlov. Still a turnover machine. You guys give Chorney a hard time, but Orlov loves giving the puck away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurgundyMalaise Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Orlov CANNOT play number one pairing minutes if he makes another TWO huge defensive gaffes while we are on the PP leading to a SHGA. That was amateur hour, bong rip defensive hockey. Love Ovi's start, I never even did anything like that in PeeWee House Leagues. AMAZING Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 That was pretty terrible by Orlov. Ice definitely tilted against the Caps at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Orlov is good for one to two bad turnovers a game in his career. He's the one player on the team that infuriates me. We staved off their little flurry. I'd like to at least get that goal back going into the second intermission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
