Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Do hockey teams hold grudges like baseball? Can I expect that Wilson guy to get slammed at some point tonight?

Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Caps can’t come out flat tonight. They’ve gotta jump right from the go. Holtby needs to slow the pace as much as possible. Vegas seems to thrive on the transition firewagon game. Every time Holtby touches the puck, he should stop the play. And they’ve gotta clean up the D zone. That ice surface is tough to manage. The puck was bouncing like crazy all of game one.
They can do this. Focus has to be just to win tonight. Stick with em, 60 minutes, don’t let them get into too much of a flow. I didn’t think Vegas was really all that great in their own end the other night, honestly. And they hung 4 on Flower. So they can do it. Just gotta be out of their minds committed to quality defensive zone play. |

Wilson & Reaves should never be on the ice together unless a coach wants to start something - if they ever do make it on the ice together it will be fireworks for sure. Wilson should lay Reaves out pretty easily
I don't think there's anyone in the league Wilson should be scared of tbh |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Sullivan recently got butt hurt about Wilson trying to say he was running away from a fight - it was during end of season interviews. I laughed because it was obviously not true & Wilson owns major real estate in Sullivan's head
|
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
I hope Wilson pays zero mind to the Reaves thing. Wilson should play his game and let Reaves cry away. If Reaves chooses to instigate, let him. He’ll probably get a penalty for it.
|
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Quick search I found Reaves & Wilson fought twice, once in '13 and once in '14. Both were uneventful where they lost balance
If either team comes out flat I see some sparks flying |

Wilson needs to continue to keep his cool like he did against the Bolts - Kunitz & co were trying in egg him on hard throughout the series especially in the early part of the series |

I'm concerned because A) I don't want to drive into the city & B) Metro will most likely be close by end of the game |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
The first five minutes of this game are going to be huge. They can’t let Vegas come out and dictate the flow of the game like they did Monday. I have a good feeling Holtby will have his shit together tonight and play a solid game.

I will tell you, even with the loss, it was one of the most unreal things I’ve ever done. Crazy fun. If you can swing it, I’d really try to. How many chances are ya gonna get, you know? That’s why I went. May be 20 years before we can do it again :lol |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Not sure if this has ever been brought up here: but has anyone ever watched "The Hockey Guy" youtube channel? He has a really cool series called "The Finalists" where he reviews the teams that lost the Cup each year. Pretty good watch. I also enjoy listening to him talk hockey.

Lol Sorry, Bill. I coulda sworn the whole city of Vegas was Knights crazy. That’s what they keep telling us, anyway. Seems that’s only about 88% true. Well done, Caps fans |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Going to DC in a few weeks. I hope the Knights win. I may buy a t-shirt ;)
I'm kidding. I'm not that big of a dick. But I'll be wearing my Super Bowl champs shirt proudly! EDIT: Though if I did get a Knights shirt it would be a Bellemare shirt if they even make those. Nice guy in Philly and gave me a couple of nice interviews. His story is great. |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
I want a Tomas Tatar one. It would just be a suit because he sure as shit ain't playing. I wonder if they would even petition to have his name put on the Cup if he doesn't play in the Finals?

Also have no idea if Tatar would cross that threshold. Paid 0 attention to Vegas this year. |
Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
I asked for a Vegas hat for Christmas and got one. Told a guy at work the first week of playoffs I would wear it in the office for a day if they win the cup.

Re: The NHL Thread (Hot takes! Caps are in the Finals!)
Didn't get in from softball until 1230 last night, up at 6. No way will I make it through the first period let alone the whole game tonight. Looking forward to many hot takes in the morning.

Worst case there’s a Green Turtle connected to the stadium you can freely go in and out before, during & after the game |

Literally everything is exactly the same as it is for a real game, except the players aren’t there. Wes Johnson on the PA at commercials, Slapshot banging the drum, red rockers, etc. It was just crazy. |

$4 drats?!? Jesus that’s cheap. I only made it to one game this year and I forgot the pricing but a 24 oz craft draft at Nats Park is $16 |
