Pens. Flyers. Game 5

I thought Neuvirth was fantastic last night and if you squint enough stole the game for them.

I also think Neuvirth can let up a 5 spot through 2 periods tomorrow, however.
Well said. There's a reason why Caps fans thought he could be their guy not long ago. He's very hot and cold.

I agree with shmengy's take...the individual performances are a bit concerning. I'm optimistic that Kessel/Malkin can get their sht together for G6, but Letang is a lost cause at this point. We are better in all facets than the Flyers, just end this nonsense already.

This is correct.

He was fantastic because he made what?

Anyone?

Anyone?

That’s right. Timely saves.

He had one big timer when he stoned Sid from in tight. The rest of his performance was a touch above average, but when there were pivotal points in the game, he did not take a dump all over the blue.

That's mostly because Caps fans are dumb and they also had no idea what a decent goalie looked like until Holtby showed up

Ehhh, they had Ollie the Goalie for a long time and he was better than decent. Now, a vast majority of their fans may not have been around in, 2007?...if that’s when Kolzig hung them up.

There were points where we were giving them the Globetrotters v Washington Generals treatment for extended periods of time and they just could not get it by him.

For sure. He made all the saves asked of him and one or two that he wasn’t expected to make.
