I think, I think Washington does a really good job of suffocating teams and, and, you know, not only five on four, but five on five, their defense, their defensive zone, they just play really fast. They get on you. Not a lot of teams play the way that they do. Um, I mean, this series is so boring.
It's basically, it's like the late 90s, early 2000s New Jersey Devils kind of sit back in the rocking chair and not let you get through the neutral zone and then just pressure the shit out of you in the defensive zone. hey, at the end of the day, it's winning hockey. Rod Brindamore gets all of his guys to buy in. He gets everything out of his guys. He doesn't have the one big superstar.
He's got guys that just come in there, check their ego at the door, and play hard for them. It's definitely not a fun series to watch, especially if your team's losing to them. If you're a Carolina fan and At the end of the day, if you're hoisting that trophy in June, it doesn't matter how you did it. But yeah, this one, I think you're 100% right. They have to score early.
If I was the Capitals and Carberry's done an unreal job there, I would just go full on. I'd pull my goalie in the first period. Get a six on five. Why not? Get a lead.
I got to give a shout out to and put some respect on his name is Tom Wilson. He's obviously been around a long time. He's an unbelievable player, but I think he is a bona fide star right now. He should be on that Olympic team. No one wants to play against him. He does everything for that team. Power play, penalty kill, five on five.
uh amazing leader as well so i think i think you got to talk about him a little bit more of how good he is and how much he can impact a game and also logan thompson he's been amazing like a couple bad ones in um you know game three i didn't love but you know he he played decent last night you know he just you know he's getting no run support and uh you know but they are a team they've done it all year they've played well they've
They've found ways to win games, and I think you're right. If they can go home and get a big win, get the momentum going. It's that building in Raleigh, too. It's a tough, tough building to play in. Unless you like chain restaurants, they get you when you land. You go into a chain restaurant, you're staying at a decent hotel, not great, and then you go into the away locker rooms, awful.
So it's a mental game, too, from the minute you land there to the minute the game's over.
I'm not going to say that. I mean, if it ended today, we'd be happy with it. Right, right. It has fans in the Capitals and a puck. We would like it. And, yeah, I mean, obviously everything with what Ovi did this year, I think, I don't know if their social media team did a really good job of just getting clips out of, you know, Carberry talking to the team.
It just seems like such a cool, tight-knit group. I've talked to their assistant coach there. He just says, like, the guys love each other. And, you know, every coach says that, but, like, He said these guys absolutely love each other. We had James Van Riemsdyk on chicklets yesterday and his brothers on that team.
And he said he went to his nephew's one first birthday and there was like 15, 20 guys on the team over at the at his house for the for the party. So you can tell that they're, you know, galvanized group. They you know, they love each other and easy team to root for. You know, I think everybody wants to see them move on here and You got to win one more. Just win one at a time, PFT. One at a time.
No.
what what is the vibe like and what is like the mentality when it's like all right hey we're loading up the first line and now everyone else has to figure it out yeah it's kind of especially in playoffs when it happens during the regular season it's kind of like oh god you kind of you're like hey what what about us we can play with these guys too but when it's playoff time and no one cares about their stats or all you care about is the wins and
I think when you're in the locker room and you see – if I was in the Edmonton locker room as a defenseman and you see on the board before the game McDavid, Dreisaitl, and whoever, Corey Perry – you are just itching to be on the ice with them because you know it's going to be fun. You know, you're going to have, you know, snap it around the offensive zone. You're going to be high flying.
So I think a lot of it too is just kind of, especially in playoffs too, like those other three lines have to be like, hey, we got to do our job of just, you know, holding the fort down a little bit, maybe pitch in with a goal or two, and then we let these big dogs eat. And, you know, that's the best part about playoffs is nobody cares what happens, like where you're playing.
Whether you're a healthy scratch or not, if your team's winning, everybody's happy. Especially as a fan watching when the big boys get put on the same line and they're playing. It's kind of just like all-out pond hockey. It's so fun to watch.
yeah it's probably it's probably right now like halfway through the second the second series is you're mentally you're coming down from the high of being in in the playoffs now you're traveling a little more you know you're not getting the sleep that you're getting every night um or that you're supposed to be getting every night because you know your blood's pumping after the games you you got to be up having meetings and practices and whatnot the next day so
I think right now is probably that time where your body's like, holy shit, what are we doing to myself right now? And like, you know, you're really in the fight. And but it's also at the end of the day, it's the best time of the year, too, because you're just playing hockey. That's all you care about. That's all you're worried about.
You're not dealing with shit at your kid's school or, you know, going to the grocery store to pick up stuff for your wife. It's strictly hockey. And, you know, that's why you play.
uh one man performance that you've seen in the playoffs yeah i mean i think just the whole you know everything's surrounding it too and with him being traded uh to carolina not wanting to get traded and then being flipped to dallas and i love the fact it's almost a little uh nba-ish is like he most hockey guys would be like oh yeah it is what it is it's the trade
