Tage Skinner with the weak effort. Get ready for the Alamo 😬

We started Alamo 3 minutes before the OV goal.

Lol no

Yeah, we know. The Avs last.  Horrible narrative.  LOL.

Luukkonen's glove looked fine on that save...

Never liked him.

He's that rare player that can play on a top line & produce w/out dragging it down but is pretty much useless on any other line.

He was brought in to be Eichel's winger but then Skinner became available and he got bumped to Mittelstadt's & then Rodriques' winger.  He can't drive play, so he was doomed.

[Believer]

Boys need to get into the locker room..,

[sweetlou]

Cozens should have run Kuemper who came out of the net to set pick

After the Tyler Ennis episode, I've held a deep hatred for Ovechkin.  He can score 1000 goals, he's still a first-class a******.

But he eats cereal with Backstrom & chats with Nastya….

 

[Doohicksie]

I'll take that period.  They slouched a bit in the second half but got out with the lead.

I mean, they are winning these draws as clean as you could possibly win em’ too.  Geez

It's like saying hits matter. Sure they can but most don't.

Upl glove side remains questionable 

Against the best shooter of the past 15 years.

EVERYBODY's glove side is questionable against him.  (Also, that well challenged chance in the 1st was also gloveside.)

UPL will be fine.

That's really of part of it. Most faceoffs are pure clean wins.

Faceoffs are hurting us here.

No, Reinhart will be fine.

My opinion on the second period depends on how we come out in the 3rd. 

[Scottysabres]

I just have to say, Ovechkin is the greatest pure goal scorer I've ever seen play the game. His shot placement is just so dam good. When he's gone, retired, I will miss seeing him play.

[LGR4GM]

Just win.

Not to mention the save he made on the PK.

[Believer]

Face offs and Hits are lopsided for the Caps… yet except for the last 4 mins Sabres dominated… Caps came on strong late… Need a reset…

[Ctaeth]

Hold on for one more period...

But please don't play like you're just holding on, it's not good for our stress level 😅
