    Feel like I’m watching nyr out there. Golden Showers have zero offense – no sustained pressure no rebounds no second attempts and too many unforced turnovers.

    And I’m not changing that just because they scored!

    Absolutely stupid PK strategy. If they keep that up they deserve to lose.

  37. Evrockmarchessar Avatar

    I’d love to see a statistician separate all of Ovi’s goals by where they’re shot from. I wouldn’t be surprised if close to 70+% of his goals came from the top of the circle.

  41. Evrockmarchessar Avatar

    If that’s not a good goal then defensemen should just push the forward in front of the net into the goaltender every time a shot is taken. Perron tried to avoid Holtby by falling into the goal.

    Got to give Vegas credit. They could have folded when the Caps went ahead, but, they fought back to take a lead. Given their history Caps should take care of business tonight.
