EmptyShelf Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 F%^king Shenn. Cheap shot from behind on Kap (almost boarded him). Paging DeLo....time to make your presence felt with an altercation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Someone else needs to show up on O for Wild soon. They will just collapse on Kap for rest of the game. We need to open up the game with other players contributing.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmptyShelf Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 How does Hartman airmail that pass from Kap?? Could have shifted the momentum back before third. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often have we seen him do that all season tho. Somebody other than or along with Kap needs to step up !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is REALLY hard to play with Kap. He does things that others don't expect and CANNOT do. It probably makes you a deer in the headlights - always looking for passes that can't normally happen (or be made). I love Hartman, but there is a ceiling to everyone's abilities, and I think Kap pushes everyone beyond theirs and it leads to exposure (not that the play referenced was too challenging, but I think playing with Kap might rattle most players when the puck continues to arrive when you least expect it). I've got few other explanations, but I swear that there have been 2-3 missed assists in almost every game from Kap, which would put him above even McD in points. I love that he has just started to shoot this year - he just has a crazy hard and accurate release and clearly does not need to be balanced or in a shooting position (see his last goal). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClusterChuck Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 There are 3 things I wanted for these PO's... -Home Ice Advantage...Check -Long PO run...(at least past 1st round) -No Elimination games for us in RD 1. (other than the mutual GM 7 and not even then really) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zucc has really been the only one to thrive on all that which is such a boost for him keeping his game going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some solid goal-tending. Smart calls by coaches. Winning when you should (e.g. no 'give away's'). And, no Suits, Koivus, and Man Baby's ruining the playoffs for me with their 8itch play. Foligno is 10Xs the leader that $hitvu ever dreamed of being. I am still hot/cold on Spurgeon. He blew that last goal, and seems to be more reckless since he became a captain than I remember him being in prior years. All-in-all, my hopes for this year will hinge on the third period and any games that follow. You have proven you can play with, and beat the Blues. Now, finish these heavy footed old 8itches .

EmptyShelf Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Who is going to pull us out of this malaise? Calling any forward aside from Kap? Can we get a greasy goal anytime soon? Our D just let them pull the trigger unchallenged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
