Boeser is such a damn good player. I hope Eklund turns out to become someone similar.

Boeser is a good player, but while I'll give him credit on the last goal, the first two goals were just tap-ins based off of great plays from other players (Millerx2 and Lindholm).

Yea Washington's done

Finding ways to win when nothing is going your way, there is major adversity, and you can't get your engine going...very impressive.

Collapse complete, Nashville isn't coming back from that.

time for what will likely be Ovechkin's final playoff game of his career.

Ovechkin will likely break Gretzky's goal-scoring record, but one can't help but think that with the mindset of a Crosby or a Mackinnon, he'd be a top-10 player all time.

I am a little disappointed in the Capitals organization. The fact that they're playing Ovechkin so little means they know the problem... I suspect that having Ovechkin break the record in a Capital's sweater is more important than winning more championships.

This was the Kings team I know!

I think Backstrom stepping away earlier this season really did a number on Ovechkin's mentality. His best friend's career over. Kuznetsov being a junkie. Orlov is on the rival Hurricanes. But Backstrom gone is the big one. There's only so much energy you can get from the rookies as an older guy. The old guys just have to have their buddies. Jumbo just had to have Pavs and Patty or else it's not the same. Man, this post makes me a little sad.

He's had this listlessness in his game since 2018.

The problem is that Ovechkin is old

Father time is undefeated

Aside from their recent failed acquisition of Ryan Johansen? That's why they needed to go get Middelstadt.

Before Kadri they also had a lot of misses. A strong 2C is definitely what that team needs... And goalie. Their weakest points. When they address them, they're true contenders like this year. But Georgiev may still be too weak to go all the way. We'll see.

They've been really good at IDing players on/with bad teams/coaches/systems whose value has depreciate and then pouncing. Guys Toews, Middlestat, Lekhonen. Even Nichushkin was a bought-out player.

It helps when you can surround them with guys like MacK, Rantanen, Makar, etc, but still the pro scouting is impressive

Bobrovsky putting on a clinic...Hedman goal aside.

Thompson looks shaken after that shot.

He's gotta be an impersonator

 

[Hodge]

At this point I'm just hoping Will Smith can be our Wyatt Johnston. What a stud.

He looks like the guy in a group project that doesn't do anything but is just waiting to get caught.

imagine going into games 3 and 4 at home with a 2-0 series lead then losing both games

Imagine going into minute 9 of the third period of game 7 with a 3-0 lead...

I think TML might be benefiting from not having Matthews. They're not standing around waiting for him to do something.

Which is funny because Matthews isn’t a McDavid or MacKinnon that can create something on his own.

Leafs fans have all their excuses now with him out and Nylander missing the first three games.

Feels like something is off in Boston. The puck is bouncing very unusually.
