The play by play announce teams need to stop sharing notes.....20 or 30 games this year...horny is just like holmstrom....hornie was picked last overall...rewarded this year with new contract blah blah blah.

The Caps commentators on the radio are actually saying how good he is & what he I said doing around the ice. They're surprisingly very neutral & good.

horrible goal.

guys had a lot on his plate this year for sure. and the luster of two cups sure will shine for a good while. that being said, he just doesnt have it this year.

thats a save that needs to be made. both for the type of shot it was and just in the situation of this game. your boys are battling. getting stonewalled. only a matter of time until they punch one in. just keep it close. and nope. now they'll deflate.

Something maf did amazingly well for most of his career....2 years he lost it, but he really was extremely solid and is very missed.

Must score here

It's more about the same stories always...they have to start finding new material.

Phil is useless right now. Hand injury? He’s not snapping the puck at all.

Gruebuer is standing on his (frank)ing head.

has to be something. the phil curl on the left side basically was the powerplay. not only does he not score, but it doesnt command the attention. at least schultz is looking like he will shoot from up top.

My god I hate that call...those are not penalties. Punches and twohanders are tho.

That's what I'm saying, the caps radio guys are talking about the game & only that. No stories from seasons past etc. They did mention if the Caps win it may put pressure on the Pens to get home ice. As I said it's nice commentary.

a lot of being a fan is having a right to female dog and vent about stuff. im not saying i support or condone the weirdos who will literally tweet at players to kill themselves or boo their families or whatever. but still. you as a fan invest your time, money, energy, ect. into it.

besides. hunwick or whatever player in question. theyre big boys. making millions of dollars to play a game. i doubt some random dude on an internet chat room saying they suck is really going to cause them to crumble.

Yeah... It's not like Hunwick is reading Hockeybuzz. I don't think fans are getting into his face in person either.

Besides, his biggest critic has been Sullivan. And we know this because Hunwick is paid a nice chunk of money to routinely be a healthy scratch.

With the way Grubauer is playing this might as well be a 5-0 lead.

Big break there

Some of the worst journalism I've seen has been the interviews in the rooms after the games. Complete morons asking the stupidest questions. Insane! A lot of the video coverage & radio is homerism a the it best but there are some that give you some really nice commentary.

Bring back Ms Sarandon I say!

The poop that Reaves copped in here was childish, now some comments saying he could do this & do that if he were still here, if only???

Reading it is mind numbing. It's frustrating to keep seeing the same poop again & again when in reality these guys are playing in the top league in the world & being criticed by people sitting on their lounges or in bars drinking schooners with no athletic ability at all.

I get poopty as well when players (frank) up & have never touched a hockey stick, but to go on & on about it would be ridiculous wouldn't it? Who the (frank) am I to slaughter a NHL player?

How was the free hotdog after the game? Did you sell your drink voucher again so you could go home with a couple of bucks extra?

Wow....even Wilson is scoring

That's a tough tip, but yeah, he's having a rough game.

Caps playing at a level superior to the Pens.

He never seems to play well when he starts both in a b2b.

Seven Caps having career years. If this isn't their year, I don't know when they'll have a better chance.
