Caps fan since 1984 and I just want to thank you for a fantastic playoff run. By you, I mean. ;) I've really grown to appreciate your great insight and objective opinions. Keep it up Hockey Guy! #ALLCAPS
I don't think Fleury is playing any worse. He made 4 fantastic saves in the scramble before the Ovechkin goal. I think Washington is doing a better job capitalizing (pun intended) on favorable bounces and mistakes by Vegas defenders. The Kusnetsov goal was a Vegas mistake. The Ovi goal was a lucky bounce. The Smith-Pelley goal was a good bounce with a lot of effort along the boards. It's about which team is finishing on those lucky plays and big mistakes better and tonight it was Washington. They're out Vegas-ing Vegas.
Kuznetzov is a great player. One tough Russian. Ovechkin is going to be the first Russian captain to hoist the cup and Don Cherry is going have a heart attack. Holtby lost focus for one second and cost himself a shutout, but then kicked himself in the butt and focused again. FLEURY is a solid goalie, interesting to see that he has a weak spot between his arm and ribs, he has been beat there a few times these playoffs. I can't see Capitals losing the cup. This group has earned it, they have had a long learning curve thanks to Pittsburgh, but they know what it takes now, and they have it. These Caps are not that run and gun team anymore, like Vegas they play the trap, but hit harder and have the better talented team to finish with. Oshie is so due for a goal after hitting iron twice. These Caps have it. I cheered hard for Vegas in the playoffs until they came up against the Caps as I have been pulling for Ovie for years.
michael debolt same situation here - was cheering for Vegas out of the west and Caps out of the east since they eliminated Pittsburgh - and cause my leafs got taken out :(
Trolls gotta chill, but thanks again for the Livestream, I don’t have TV so i sat on the porch, had a drink and listened to your livestream. Cheers Shannon
Sorry about the trolling. Thanks for everything you do, watching you has made me into a better and more knowledge hockey fan. Keep up the good work buddy!
I love this series. I love your analysis. There's so much at stake in game 4, I can't wait! Fleury is still playing great, but the Caps are somehow managing to will themselves ahead.
I can comfortably say Kuznetnov is emerging as a top 10 forward in this league. Additionally, guys like Stephenson, Vrana, Wilson and DSP have been so crucial for the caps with their timely moments of tremendous effort. Edit: Also the league made us get shaggy and sting, don't blame us please lol
William Keyes There’s so many DC artist they could have brought out. Even if they were trying to gather a young “hip” crowd they could have got Wale or something
Agreed. I know Shaggy and Sting had a concert nearby the night before or something but they easily could've gotten a Wale or even Kendrick who had a concert in the area the night before. Monday will be better with Fall Out Boy
William Keyes Hey man no shout out to Beagle? Probably the best fourth line center/faceoff man/penelty killer/ shot blocker/ in the game! His stats for those 4 things are great! Not to mention 2 assists tonight!!
capsfan 70 I think Beagle should be the fourth Capital to lift the Cup if they win. Ovi>Backstrom>Holtby>Beagle>Kuzy Beagle has been here for so long and has never half assed anything. The man is a total workhorse grinding game after game.
tripsaplenty I agree. He's stuck with the team for ever even with a meh contract and he is a great bottom 6 defensive forward who can generate assists when its needed.
I usually don't mind trolling (as long as the troll isn't constantly commenting), but come on. Shannon doesn't deserve this. He's a great guy. Such a professional.
Good observation Shannon on the teams winning the cup after winning their Conference final series in 7 games. Pittsburgh in 2016 & 17, Chicago in 2015, LA in 2014, Boston in 2011, Carolina in 2006, Tampa in 2004, New Jersey in 2003, Detroit in 2002, New Jersey in 2000, Dallas in 1999, Rangers in 1994, etc...
The only player that showed up for Vegas was fleury. He almost won the game for them by making unbelievable saves. If Vegas just had more offense this would be a different outcome
Ahh! Hockey guy! I’m drunk and thanks for reviewing all the playoff games! I’m loud and happy about the win! Love to hear the real analysts outside of Roenick and milbury after the caps win
Yes Shannon we appreciate that you keep backing "anybody who isn't Washington" - it's working out well for those of us who love the Caps. Please keep "not backing them". Thanks, much appreciated!
and Holtby is in the Knights heads as well ever since 'the save'. Every shot they put wide or over the net or off the post, you can just see the frustration mount. They're gripping their sticks too tight and trying to force things.
AidenHighlights to be honest before the series started they made it like he had ivies numbers but in 40 playoff game Ovie has 30 goals against him . So this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
I think the VGK are overplaying things...seriously, it looks like for the first time they’re over thinking passes, shots, etc. Instead of attack attack attack. Monday is a must win. I despise using the term “Must win” since ever game is technically a must win, but winning 3 in a row will be really rough but not impossible. We would at least have games 5 and 7 at home. I think we’re seeing a series where they are finally in their own heads and not sure how coach Gallant can fix it. Take them to Disneyland for the day? Seriously, I think they got to get this out of their heads for a day. However that may be.
Real simple game. Washington beat Vegas at their own forecheck game, and Vegas' D couldn't get the puck up ice as effectively as they have been used to doing. Also, where was "Wild Bill" Karlsson, tonight? Almost invisible out there. I think that Gallant will have them going all out on Monday, just to try to stay out of that 3-1 hole. Also, what's with Vegas being so nice to Smith-Pelly? Runs your goalie, then punks him trying to retrieve his stick, and no one mashes his face into the boards? C'mon guys, stick up for your goalie, he's been there for you all season long.
tiny b Smith Pelley had words with MAF over the fact that he stepped into DSP on that goalie interference call. DSP did nothing wrong and knights got a man up for 2 mins. He's warranted some chatter and a stick toss.
Ovechkin and Kuznetzov have been great in these playoffs, but the thing I've loved about Washington this year is see the depth guys perform well. They don't get here without Eller, Beagle, DSP, etc. The same could be said for Vegas, but it's really refreshing seeing it from Washington
I can objectively say the capitals are most likely your 2018 Stanley cup winners. As a vegas fan, i think VGK looks very similar to the Jets team last series. Holtby making epic saves, bad luck shots from vegas, and too many turnovers by vegas turning into good opportunities for the capitals. Game 4 is a must win or it’s over. Still very proud of this year overall! Go knights go!
The Caps look like they are hungry for it. Vegas does not. It makes me sad but they are playing on house money and it served them well in the past rounds because being carefree and loose helped them play great, but now that the pressure is on and they are playing for a team that is really fighting hard its not working out so well.
The Caps have been playing at a higher level then I’ve ever known them to play, they’ve got a lot of juice right now. However, I’m starting to sense people writing off Vegas and prematurely coronating the Caps after 3 games and that’s very dangerous. That is exactly where Vegas channels their whole misfit underdog angle and suddenly this series goes 7 or possibly they win 3 straight and lift the Cup in Washington. If the Capitals don’t win the Cup, the pain and misery and the choking narrative will be reinstated even though that’s unfair. If Vegas loses then oh well it was their first year, they’ll be back. Vegas has nothing to lose really. The Caps have everything to lose and have to get it done. I’m rooting for Vegas since I’m a Pens fan but I certainly admire the way WSH has played, they deserve to be where they are. I’m just saying if they let Vegas back into this series they are probably going to regret it. If there is one thing we’ve learned from these playoffs is that whatever you expect to happen, doesn’t. Very interesting series.
This was the first game I’ve seen Vegas actually struggle to get anything going. Looked like a defeated team from puck drop. Props to the caps for absolutely demoralising Vegas. Played a complete game except for a holtby brain fart. Caps are playing heavy! Keep it up! 2 more!
Hockey guy channel could grow big specialy every year diffrent teams will go to SCF and he will be able cover and get people to sub from different markets. Great reviews and let's go CAPS!)))
Vegas has faced no adversity in these playoffs, now that they are playing a team that hits like no other, shoots like no other and can ultimately score like no other, they are now rattled. I do believe that this series has shown how truly "tremendously tremendous" Fleury is, and now that the Caps have him figured so to speak, you can see the breakdown. Vegas doesn't know how to respond, they are in unchartered territory.
CAPS will power thru Game 4 and win.. and will dominate again in Game 5 for a CAPITAL PUNISHMENT FINALE.... best believe it... feel free to screen shot this... great analysis as always THG!!... #ALLCAPS
it's starting to tell that the only "star" player Vegas has is in the net because now that Fleury can't save them there are no other star player to bail them out. the capitals have holtby, kuznetsov, bäckstrom, carlsson and ovi who are all difference makers. Sure, Vegas has Karlsson and marchessault but they are not at that level yet. that's what seperates these two teams, vegas has been pulling it of all season because of the awesome team effort they have but in the stanley cup finals you need those special players who steps up when it really matters with timely plays and goals, from what I've seen so far that is the difference.
The Sajak bit was pretty awkward, I admit, despite Sajak being the most notable Capitals super fan. Oh boy, that Holtby giveaway almost made me change the channel, but thankfully, the team had the mental fortitude to not collapse after that gaffe. If the Capitals had lost Game 3, the team and especially Holtby will never shake that off (Ty Conklin, anyone). Thankfully, they did, and that is all I have to say about the game.
Solid game analysis. Especially like you killing the Euro's don't have the heart to win the Cup rub. Also noting the MAF's save percentage was unsustainable and he's coming back to earth a bit early for his Knights. #ALLCAPS
not sure what it is but capitals are slowing down vegas or vegas is tired but i think its capitals style of play slowing down vegas plus the block shots taking its toll. if vegas wants to change things around must get in the crease holtby to comfortable
Old dude: "Brandon McNabb." Me: "who?" Old dude: "Brayden McNabb." Me: "still, who?" Trust me, Washington cares more about hockey than Vegas. This was not an attempt to upstage the corny shows synonymous with Vegas. An outside concert does not a pregame show make. All about hockey, not dudes in capes.
And how would you know that? Have you seen the rating since Vegas entered the league? Thats right, they are climbing. The NHL is dead last of the big 4. You will see more and more pre game festivities from other teams. The days of showing up and dropping the puck after the anthems are over in many cities.
Since I am new to your channel, I’m just wondering who your favorite hockey team is. Mine is the Rangers, as you can probably tell from the name of my channel.
Shannon, what have you thought of the officiating? In the beginning i didnt care who wins but as the series went on i found that the reffing was so one sided, is that just me? Seems like they let VGK do anything they want to WSH but as soon as WSH does the same thing its a penalty.
Its funny how everyone is still on Vegas' nuts, even though the Caps are outplaying and outcoaching Vegas in every aspect of the game. The Golden Knights have finally run into a better team and their defense cant stop the Caps, their offense cant get through the Washington defense, and Trotz is putting on a coaching clinic whereas Galant isnt making any adjustments. Caps in 5!! Lets Go Caps!!!
I think one of the key stats for the Capitals is blocked shots. I feel this is one of the main reasons for their success against Vegas so far. Shannon mentioned that Washington didn't allow shots, and I think he includes blocked shots in that comment. It must be pretty frustrating for Vegas. They are shooting a lot, but little is actually getting through the defense. Also, does anybody feel that Trotz has a great game plan and the Caps are out-coaching the Golden Knights? As a Caps fan I am a bit worried about the giveaways. Too sloppy controlling the puck.
Didn’t even notice the trolls. Don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t criticize Pat Sajak, since you aren’t perfect with names. Sting and Shaggy have a new album and are starting a tour. Looked fun to me.
Surprised you didn’t give Fleury more credit for the way he played this game. It could easily have been 6 or 7 to 1 if Fleury didn’t stand on his head. Washington is just better offensively than other teams and as much as Holtby is one of my favorite goalies in the NHL, if you put him in net for Vegas tonight he would have given up at least 5 maybe 6 or 7. He hasn’t proven much when facing a lot of scoring chances. He hasn’t faced many chances the last 2 games. Some of the saves Fleury had were ridiculous and Braden Holtby would not have made them.
Glenn Gayet there were two consecutive games this season where holtby made around 40 saves, while the caps offense produced just around 20 each game. If I’m not mistaken they won both. Fleury and holtby are both very talented goalies in my opinion.
the finals schedule really allows for teams to be fresh no matter how long the previous series went. you get two off days every time they change the location. that's a lot of rest in a 2-2-1-1-1 format. #nocaps
Caps dominated this game and now my nervousness has shot up 10 fold, i wasn't feeling good after game 2 and now I was proven right in my doubts. Vegas always seemed to adjust well after losses but with back to back losses like this I'm honestly not sure if there are any adjustments they can make because Washington is just skating circles around them right now. They absolutely must win Game 4 on Monday or this series is over. I don't blame Fleury for those goals by Kuznetszov and DSP because really Shea Theodore blowing it like he did is what really led to those goals, he hasn't been great this series and now is not a good time to be making mistakes like this. Still a little hopeful but right now it's not looking good
that's true, Washington's strength has been neutralizing the other team's speed and that's they've done that to Vegas in both game 2 and 3, Vegas just can't let Washington slow them down or else it's over in 5
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! This pregame cringy crap please... LETS GO CAPS! Caps are going to take the series in 6, Wilson is a beast. Good night THG community.
Wouldn't you like to buy two more 'W's, Adam? I'm just having fun with you man, and listening to Shannon making fun of Washington's response to Vegas's pregame show now.
Adam West But fall out boy XD I get to rock out to fall out boy for game four. In all seriousness not a fan of that band or any of the the pre game malarkey.
Stop trolling guys people enjoy these videos and doing that spoils them

don't worry about the trolling there just keyboard warriors who are probally just pansy's in real life lol
who the fuck (sorry for my language) trolls on a hockey livestream is what i don't get
Do whatever you need to do to keep the live streams fun and worth doing for yourself. Thanks for all the videos and time you put into this channel.

Jordan Staal what trolling ( I’m not joking )
Holtby has been the MVP for the Caps this series.
Liking the new addidas jerseys Shannon
I love all the emotion ovi is showing he wants this in the worst way
I’m so happy. 2 wins away.
If we win the cup (which we will), I will get sooo drunk and party all Night long.
Let’s go Caps!
2 more wins, boys. Do your job. #ALLCAPS
Fleury played tremendous. Could have been 6 or 7 nothing even with Holtby in net for Vegas
Vegas hasn’t lost 3 straight in regulation since December 1st
Good observation Shannon on the teams winning the cup after winning their Conference final series in 7 games. Pittsburgh in 2016 & 17, Chicago in 2015, LA in 2014, Boston in 2011, Carolina in 2006, Tampa in 2004, New Jersey in 2003, Detroit in 2002, New Jersey in 2000, Dallas in 1999, Rangers in 1994, etc...

cut to clip of Shaggy, Pat Zajac, and Sting sitting in the Masonic Grand Lodge "mwahaha, excellent"
Ryan Shantz LMAO!
Kuznetsov said in an interview he does the celebration for his young daughters amusement. Go Caps!!!
If the caps win in 6 the victory in DC would be insane
Yes Shannon we appreciate that you keep backing "anybody who isn't Washington" - it's working out well for those of us who love the Caps. Please keep "not backing them". Thanks, much appreciated!
The Capitals are making Fleury uncomfortable and are in his head. You can tell my his reaction on the goals.
Good point. In between the goals he looked jumpy, too. In the third he settled down. That third Washington goal was a defensive collapse.
For sure, Jets should have run into Fleury a few times. It may have helped them get more goals.
and Holtby is in the Knights heads as well ever since 'the save'. Every shot they put wide or over the net or off the post, you can just see the frustration mount. They're gripping their sticks too tight and trying to force things.
AidenHighlights to be honest before the series started they made it like he had ivies numbers but in 40 playoff game Ovie has 30 goals against him . So this shouldn't be a surprise to anyone
I don’t care how much you hate the caps, it’s hard not to root for a guy like ovi who’s giving literally all he has to win

be real nice too see Washington win the cup
Good video!

Trust me, Washington cares more about hockey than Vegas. This was not an attempt to upstage the corny shows synonymous with Vegas. An outside concert does not a pregame show make. All about hockey, not dudes in capes.

Eddie Maloney because they literally did the anthem, intro, and dropped the puck. Fool.
Bro vegas fans are the definition of bandwagon... Everyone I know in NV is all of a sudden a hockey fan ..
"The NHL is dead last of the big 4"
All other leagues are seeing dropping attendances.
Since I am new to your channel, I’m just wondering who your favorite hockey team is. Mine is the Rangers, as you can probably tell from the name of my channel.
Canucks are #1, Bruins #2, and Stars #3.
Why not use twitch for the streams?
Not a fan of Twitch to be honest.
What were the people that were trolling doing?
See what happens when Vegas plays an actual good team? The Jets only had 2 goal scorers. Not counting Vegas out by any means, just saying.
Shannon, what have you thought of the officiating? In the beginning i didnt care who wins but as the series went on i found that the reffing was so one sided, is that just me? Seems like they let VGK do anything they want to WSH but as soon as WSH does the same thing its a penalty.
Caps in 6. Vegas is learning that their goalie can only get them so far, they need to have offense as well.
Yeah, it's not like Vegas scored six goals in game 1, right?
By so far you mean Stanley Cup finals?
Its funny how everyone is still on Vegas' nuts, even though the Caps are outplaying and outcoaching Vegas in every aspect of the game. The Golden Knights have finally run into a better team and their defense cant stop the Caps, their offense cant get through the Washington defense, and Trotz is putting on a coaching clinic whereas Galant isnt making any adjustments. Caps in 5!! Lets Go Caps!!!

Yep ,it should be sweep if not those shenanigans in 1-st game in Vegas
Only thing I could think of is that they're still not used to the east coast.
DSP was extremely effective this game. He did his job to the fullest
I think one of the key stats for the Capitals is blocked shots. I feel this is one of the main reasons for their success against Vegas so far. Shannon mentioned that Washington didn't allow shots, and I think he includes blocked shots in that comment. It must be pretty frustrating for Vegas. They are shooting a lot, but little is actually getting through the defense. Also, does anybody feel that Trotz has a great game plan and the Caps are out-coaching the Golden Knights? As a Caps fan I am a bit worried about the giveaways. Too sloppy controlling the puck.
Can you post the discord server link
theres a discord server? can i haz link maybe?
Just ban the trolls.
They are lining up 8-10 troll accounts to use every stream. It's stupid.
The Hockey Guy ... If only ip permabans were a thing
Didn’t even notice the trolls. Don’t worry about it. I wouldn’t criticize Pat Sajak, since you aren’t perfect with names. Sting and Shaggy have a new album and are starting a tour. Looked fun to me.
The discord thing might be a good idea. I would have to use my laptop though. That pregame show was weird.
Great game
Caps in 7
Surprised you didn’t give Fleury more credit for the way he played this game. It could easily have been 6 or 7 to 1 if Fleury didn’t stand on his head. Washington is just better offensively than other teams and as much as Holtby is one of my favorite goalies in the NHL, if you put him in net for Vegas tonight he would have given up at least 5 maybe 6 or 7. He hasn’t proven much when facing a lot of scoring chances. He hasn’t faced many chances the last 2 games. Some of the saves Fleury had were ridiculous and Braden Holtby would not have made them.
Glenn Gayet there were two consecutive games this season where holtby made around 40 saves, while the caps offense produced just around 20 each game. If I’m not mistaken they won both. Fleury and holtby are both very talented goalies in my opinion.
Shea Theodore had an awful game, he looked gassed and slow.
He made a bunch of mistakes, too.
I think they caps are shooting the puck in places fluery doesn’t expect and he’s leaving key places open
the finals schedule really allows for teams to be fresh no matter how long the previous series went. you get two off days every time they change the location. that's a lot of rest in a 2-2-1-1-1 format. #nocaps
I was at the stream. Dont think u saw me tho
Fleury played out of his mind tonight. Was sad to see the knights not support it up top.
Caps dominated this game and now my nervousness has shot up 10 fold, i wasn't feeling good after game 2 and now I was proven right in my doubts. Vegas always seemed to adjust well after losses but with back to back losses like this I'm honestly not sure if there are any adjustments they can make because Washington is just skating circles around them right now. They absolutely must win Game 4 on Monday or this series is over. I don't blame Fleury for those goals by Kuznetszov and DSP because really Shea Theodore blowing it like he did is what really led to those goals, he hasn't been great this series and now is not a good time to be making mistakes like this. Still a little hopeful but right now it's not looking good
that's true, Washington's strength has been neutralizing the other team's speed and that's they've done that to Vegas in both game 2 and 3, Vegas just can't let Washington slow them down or else it's over in 5
Quick question
If the flames fail to make the playoffs again next season is Brad Treliving out of a job
Hoping Vegas get back in it. NHL not huge in UK and they really got me interested in it fully.
im a new sub. What is your favorite team?
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOP! This pregame cringy crap please... LETS GO CAPS! Caps are going to take the series in 6, Wilson is a beast. Good night THG community.
Wouldn't you like to buy two more 'W's, Adam?
I'm just having fun with you man, and listening to Shannon making fun of Washington's response to Vegas's pregame show now.
Adam West But fall out boy XD I get to rock out to fall out boy for game four. In all seriousness not a fan of that band or any of the the pre game malarkey.
disable 15 sec?
LETS GO CAPS!
Tbh I stay away from the live streams because of the trolling that’s good to hear you are using a Discord server.
I haven't seen a live stream but what's the trolling going on?
