DCSaints_fan Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I'm guessing the back to back scheduling is entirely because of $$$ Weekends (Fri-Sun) are good times to schedule games. In the fall however, you have to compete with football. So there aren't a whole lot of Sunday games until January. The times they do are mostly Canadian teams / teams with no football nearby So that leaves Friday and Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurd Cudins Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Last minute deal. Can't go tonight. Selling my 2 tickets Section 417 Row B, aisle for $100. I threw them on Ticketmaster too but their fees suck. Of course, so do the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shakinaiken Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Awful start. Ranger's are supposed to be sluggish and slow playing back to back nights. Guess not There we go. Nice strike by Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hersh Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Don’t love the Caps D so far this season. Kuzy should start OT every time. Or at least it should not be 8-19-74. Need a little speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Great play by Kuzy and way to be heads up Niskanen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Holtby got us this W despite us getting close a few times in the 3rd. He was fantastic. Also, I love seeing Nisky crash the net for the rebound. Stuff like that is what does make 3 on 3 fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Interference call was weak, puck was right at the guy’s feet. Too many men call was weak, Backstrom was at the bench and not involved in the play. Unsportsmanlike call was weak, you’re a ref have thicker skin. All said, three weak calls result in extended 5 on 3 and about 5 straight minutes on the PK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I miss the days when dudes actually were encouraged to move at more than a snail's pace on the breakaway/ shootout.

max21 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Ovechkin for the final shootout was not a good idea. He is not very good at shootouts. Good game though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Was the defense bad or was Holtby bad? (Didn’t see the game) There has got to be a little concern over the number of goals being given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I’m not worried at this point, since we ARE the Stanley Cup champions. I don’t think that Copley is as good as Grubauer was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
