Flynn put it in.

Sarcasm I hope?

[Randall Flagg]

Sarcasm I hope?

I think his posts might have merged? Because I remember reading the bolded part before the goal happened

[Kristian]

Sarcasm I hope?

 

Why would it be sarcasm? He was square to the Caps player, can't help it if his own player can't clear it properly.

 

Some pretty horrible officating so far.

the puck was in the crease when it hit flynns stick. what was miller waiting for? why did miller even let the puck get to flynns stick?

[cdexchange]

YYZ in the arena during a break in the action...nice. :thumbsup:

He has two guys covering the passing lane, it's not even supposed to reach him.

so if you blame them for a shot getting through, then blame miller for not playing the puck before it got to flynns stick. plenty of blame to go around.

Does Mike Weber's beard get darker every year?

[Brawndo]

ENNIS!!

A PP goal!

[inkman]

Not sure if I agree on the call on Wilson

The pass goes through Pysyk, and Flynn puts it into his own net.

 

I'll blame the goalie when he messes up, but not when one skater blows a blocked pass, and another puts the puck into his own net.

 

Nice PP goal too.

[26CornerBlitz]

Wilson got exactly what he deserved. Good job Weber.

[darksabre]

Hodgson looks good today.

[inkman]

Whatever garbage they were just playing at the arena needs to never be played again

 

Hodgson looks good today.

Been a while since we've seen "talent"

the puck went through the crease, why didn't ryan play it before it got to flynns stick?

[Nitro60]

PP goal was sweet. The need to play Washington tight and not back off. Caps don't like to be pressured.

[LaLaLaFontaine]

Good first period. The teams areplaying on the same level.

[Kristian]

the puck went through the crease, why didn't ryan play it before it got to flynns stick?

 

That puck didn't go "through" the crease, it is literally 2 inches in at the top of the crease when Flynn hits it.

[Hoss]

The puck didn't get through the crease. And goalies don't try to play those pucks because if you miss then it's an empty net goal.

[Ross Rhea]

yep, still in the crease and a couple feet away from miller. i guess it might have been better for ryan to be aggressive there instead of passive.

 

he knew there were 2 guys there to his left and he chose to be passive. it burned him that time. i bet if you ask him he would say he would like to play that one differently, it was a weak slow shot/pass.

This is a ridiculous statement. It was a deflected own goal. Hardly the goalies fault

Disagree.

Add a goal to McDavid's day. That's 1+5 midway through the third. He turns 17 tomorrow.
