Reviewing Capitals vs Bruins February 10th NHL Game



Reviewing Capitals vs Bruins February 10th NHL Game

Welcome back all right so this this was quite the game and it gets its own video so there you go uh eight more games on the schedule tonight we’re in between the first and second period between Colorado and Florida if not for that game I would have had this review done a

While ago at any rate it was lingren versus San uh I wish I could just put Swan’s picture down here cuz he’s the bru that showed up so early back and forth uh pretty pretty good but the Caps are getting the shots uh they had Two

Shots the Bruins had none 2 and A2 minutes in and this would kind of tell us how this game was going to go Wilson’s tonight Jansen was tonight as well burns with no shots six minutes in so very slow start and they they just well they were consistent today uh net

Feed daaka gets blocked McMichael has a net drive that saved that is the and the first whistle is at 7:49 uh it’s a penalty by the Bruins that caused that that first whistle at 7 minutes and 49 seconds uh cap cycle lkin has a screen shot that’s held Wilson’s

Denied it’s cleared out mantha has a shot that’s saved it’s killed off with 8 minutes left in the first period the shots are 8 to one for Washington so it it feels like Boston had a terrible game against Calgary then they beat Vancouver and it’s like they just took every

Amount of of of energy they had and put it in the Vancouver game and they had nothing left for today soetkin has a net feed that’s picked off the Caps pressed with three and a half minutes left the Bruins were pinned down the fans are expressing their unhappiness with this

Already um we get uh Wilson with a rush chance that’s held Bruin’s really flat uh pater ready uh looked like he had an injured arm wasn’t the arm but that’s what it looked like he’s usually in the ice he gets speared so it was in a collision with grizzli uh sticks

Involved I haven’t heard anything from the Department of player safety on this one yet I don’t know if there’s going to be but at any rate grizzli gets five minutes so two of the three teams I cheered for had a defenseman thrown out of of the game today uh and zadorov

There’s a hearing he will be suspended tonight so I have to find a way to shoehorn that video in but at any rate uh it’s spearing grizzli is gone McMichael has a shot that’s held there’s a near Miss for Wilson Puck cleared out that power plate rolls over into the

Second period because it’s a major uh Oshi would score at 104 during that power play Patcher ready and McMichael with the assists so yeah Pat ready did come back into the game it’s good cycle at S screen Carlo was also without a stick so it was a five on three and a

Half I did hear Ferraro saying that today and that’s what I’ve always termed it as more like five on three and a half when you have a player without a stick and when it’s when it’s a defenseman missing a stick that’s even worse uh Bruins clear knowing they can’t allow

Another they do finish the kill loo has a rush out of the box that totally misfires uh shots are two nothing capitals at 5 and a half minutes protus is denied swayan holds on Coyle has a slot shot that misses high power play for Boston they come into this game too

For their last 18 it did not get better uh early clear by the Caps Marshon has a slot shot that saved the Caps clear power plays killed off none of the shots hit the net so that Marshon chance either didn’t actually get through for the save or it wasn’t headed for the net

Itself either way no shots uh Oshi with a near miss out of the box uh Boston players and fans getting really frustrated at this point power plays giving energy to the capitals right uh Bruns press at the half they’re not getting to the net the Caps Rush the

Other way poock has a shot that’s held things get pushy uh and it’s just it was it wasn’t just the the shots either it was the puck battles uh the Caps the step faster I have talked in numerous reviews this year about the Caps look slower and older because they kind of

Are but today that didn’t show so I I don’t want to just just come out and say the Bruins played bad uh the Caps had a perfect game plan and Boston never adjusted they never adjusted to the game plan so uh shots are six to2 for the

Caps with 5 minutes left stroes denied from the slot the the Caps press after that the Bruins have a three on two that misfires the fans getting really on the Bruins at this point uh Edmonson fires one wide as the Caps press again uh there’s a bronx cheer for a shot from a

Distance by marshan so a shot on net they’re like yay we got one through 40 minutes the Bruins had been credited with seven shots they would turn it to eight uh but either way that’s the lowest amount of shots they’ve had through two periods in a game this year

And it doesn’t get better in the third uh caps get Zone time lindol has a rush this block there’s a net feed to pater ready that’s picked off Bruins press at 3 minutes they’re not getting to the net and then on a rush on what was their

First shot of the third period the capitals make it two nothing it is stro from oetkin and Oshi at 324 so TJ ooshi with a goal and an assist today and uh yeah for stro he’s up to 20 goals it’s his third straight 20 goal season good

For him uh so the boo birds were pretty loud as the Bruins just not getting it together geeky gets toight and close the Caps Rush the shots are 4 to two for Boston at 6 and 1/2 minutes uh de brus can’t very one and close the Bruins it

Felt like were starting to wake up but it felt like it was too little too late uh the capitals with the two- goal lead they perform very well in close games uh lowc scoring games that’s where the Caps are most comfortable we get a power play

For Boston poock has a shot that’s held the Cap’s clear they clear it again there’s more booing power play is killed off one shot uh Bruins just completely out of sync in this one uh and and just not not getting it to together uh 725 left Boston gets a power play they cycle

Poock has a wrapper on this block debrus has a shot that’s held uh then there’s this there’s a fast break for McMichael short-handed San’s forced to hold on there so they kill that off and really the capital’s cruising at this point I know Boston got shots in that third

Period either they weren’t dangerous or there wasn’t really a screen in front of the net and if Charlie lingren could see it today he was he was saving it so the Bruins are forced to dump and Chase the problem is the caps are all back they’re blocking they’re clearing it out goalie

Pull happens with three minutes left with 256 left the Bruins get a power play at oetkin going to the Box uh poock has a shot that’s held the Bruin cycle Cap’s clear it’s killed off one shot more booing from the fans at this point cuz yeah that power play didn’t look

Great either Heinen’s denied as it ends uh the Bruins press after but at 1933 oetkin gets the empty net or he raced out to get it it’s a four-game goal scoring streak for oetkin and his 57th career empty net goal puts him in first place all time he passes

Gretzky on that list so your final score in this one’s three nothing for the Caps they go to 23 20 and 7 on the season Boston very disappointing effort and result 3211 and N is the record now shots on net 154 Washington in the first

8 to four Washington in the second 10 to Five Boston in the third Final Shots 28 to 18 for the Caps I do believe that’s Boston’s lowest shot total on the season season and it’s now been seven straight games Boston has not had 30 shots on net

Uh Power plays Washington won for three Boston 0 for four the hits 34 to3 for Boston lingren saved all 18 shots for the shut out Swan saved 25 out of 27 as the Bruin that showed up today so let me know your thoughts in the comment section below as always don’t forget to

  1. I'd be curious if this inconsistencies from contenders after the all star break is a common trend over the years? Winnipeg and Colorado have been garbage, Edmonton immediately loses their streak and Boston and Dallas have been hit or miss

  2. Out of his favorite teams, looks like only the Stars cared to give Shannon a decent present on his birthday (and even that had some issues).

    Rough day, bud.

  3. wouldn't be sad if grzeclyck was offered up for trade deadline.. but who the hell would take him?
    Bruns defense looked brutal. On paperthey looked good vs Canucks, but 3 of their 4 goals should not have gone in in that game.. thye need some inspiration.

  4. OV had the wheels going. The EN wasnt an easy goal. He had to outrace 2 defenders. Hope he gets in more camel rides in his off days

  5. It seems like Boston play at such a consistently high level all year around that when other teams elevate their game after the break/deadline or in the playoffs the Bruins don’t really have another gear to go to.

  6. I know why Wilson went to the All-Star game and I'm not mad. But I think Strome really needs to be the favorite for selection at the beginning of next season.
    Lindgren needed those 18 saves to add together with the stats from the last game. Fewer turnovers in the O zone this game.
    The announcers mentioned Dowd as possible trade fodder. On behalf of myself and the band I'd like to say… NOOOO!!!!!!
    I wonder if any of the Canucks caught the end of this game on the ground in Vancouver.

  7. As a caps fan this is the most shocked I think I've been that we won since game 6 against the Penguins, I legit didn’t watch cause I thought they'd essentially kill our season

  8. I'd give Ovi a 30% chance to overtake Wayne. He needs to score 60 more goals, but at 38 and clearly slower than average, he's going to have to improve his shot to pass Wayne. His slow start this year might end up being what prevents him from passing Wayne.

  9. Lose 10 regular season home games out of their last 67 and the boo birds come out. Think expectations are a bit high?

  10. Great showing from Caps today. It’s that complete game they’ve been searching for all season long. Too late, of course, but great to see all the same. Go Caps!!

  11. I screamed in joy when Ovechkin scored. Hasn’t scored four games in a row since march last year! He looks so much better than he did in the first 40 games. Much more hustle. Congrats on Another record as well.

  12. I still don't think that the Capitals will compete for a playoff spot and that they need to trade off their assets (especially Lindgren, because there's a huge need for goalies among teams that expect to be in the playoffs). The Capitals need to put together a winning streak to get back in it, and I still don't expect them to do that.

    We'll see how they play against Vancouver and Colorado tomorrow and on Tuesday. I'm guessing that in 72 hours, it'll still make sense for them to sell off. But I do hope that they surprise me and play well against those two west coast teams.

  13. Accurate recap and analysis. Only criticism is that you forgot to mention it was the first time the Bruins were shutout this season.

  14. As a die hard Bruins fan, I can say that it's games like today that should tell the league the Bruins are not a legit Stanley Cup contender. There's a bit of an ego and arrogance to this group in my opinion that leads to piss poor performances like today. They seem to follow up great games with efforts like this. Zero effort given and thought they could sleep walk to a Saturday afternoon lazy win. And if the Jacobs family had the thought, they should give the ticket holders their money back for that one. Absolutely pathetic and a well deserved loss.

  15. I had to turn off the game after 2 periods cuz Boson looked like an AHL team and deserved all those boos…..pathetic effort, just awful to watch
