Bigger mistake was CSN hiring a stupid (frank)ing talking head clown show with an annoying voice.

Barkann you clown. Without Mason this game is 5-1.

I laughed out loud when he started spinning the game on Mase. He is a total clown.

Awful time for it to happen and inexcusable, but someone tell me. Do we even make it to the playoffs without him?

Answer; Daily Double: No

Throw back to cousins being a fool and I don't even know what he did on that "shot" which caused the 2-1 break the other way leading to that BRUTAL slash that gets called EVERY TIME then Ovechkin scores
- Giroux_Is_God

He 'slapshotted' it right on to the other guy's blade, it seemed. It must have been a very weak shot for the other guy to handle it so easily. Almost a pass really.

Why is everyone so high on Lindblom? Hockey's Future has him at a talent level of 6.5, and that's a pretty recent stat (incorporates most of this season). Thats JAson Akeson type numbers.

Is it just because he is big?

I hate him, I mean I actually physically want to beat him with a lead pipe, or Angelo Cataldi's severed arm. That would work too.

I never watch when he's on; it's like PLind and 2Real combined.

No. It's because we actually, you know, watch the games instead of looking at a nonsense number on Hockey's Future.

I have no idea what Read was doing there. cripes I could have made that damn pass to OV with that huge lane open

The Flyers playing passively against a playmaker like Backstrom is pretty much the worst thing you can do. Any pass first player will tell you he or she loves when the defense backs off and gives them time and space.

I can live with a tick tack toe goal against pressure, but I can't stand seeing the Caps just do whatever they want while the PKers sit back and watch and hope the puck hits them

You mean we should do to other teams' playmakers what teams do to Giroux???!!!?!

No, it's because he's good

They have sat back on the PK all year.

They pressure to prevent entries but if a team sets up they get completely stationary. The best PKs are aggressive.

who takes him seriously? I mean he called Kuznetsov a rookie during the pre game show on Thurs. I literally texted Baciker saying did he just say that? I don't understand how he has made it as far as he has. I can deal with clowns as long as they know what the hell they are talking about. he is a clueless clown which makes it unbearable

Drives me insane.

(I have liked the change on the PP. Just been unlucky)

It's a bad goal...it happens...still in this game ....need a good start to the 3 rd.

I know. It's bothered me for some time now. At least make someone other than Backstrom make the play.

its not even being passive, the positioning on the PK is just brutal.

What was Manning doing on that Chimera shot ??

The more I watch this series the more I just think this isn't a playoff team. Sure they made it but I just don't think they were good enough. Does adding konecky and provy change this team? I think so for the better. I guess we just watch the playoffs and enjoy it for the time being

I was legit shocked Comcast didn't demote him after his interview with Holmgren.

No. It's because we actually, you know, watch the games instead of looking at a nonsense number on Hockey's Future.

Right, hence the question.

What do you see, when you know, you actually watch the games that impresses you and why, you know, do these things you see actually escape the assessment of you know, the guys at Hockey's Future?

they are absolutely a playoff team but the difference between a playoff team and a cup contender like Washington is pretty wide.

I think Hextall needs to make a change among he top 6 forwards as well. They really need a guy that can drive play 5 on 5. Jake is the closest thing the have to that but he's so goddamn streaky with it.
