GDT: 12/9/14 - 7:30PM EDT - Washington VS Tampa Bay

[Brie]

We are fast but you won't get anywhere by just being fast if the other team knows how to slow you down.

 

[Bolts265]

Stupid penalty!

 

[The Macho King]

SO ****ING GLAD WE SCRATCHED DROUIN!

Stupid ****ing hit.

 

[Brie]

Oh wow, what a hit by Brown but we really don't need to take any penelties right now.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Can't complain about that call. Will this be another bad game against a non-playoff team?

Oh, they're a playoff team. There shouldn't be any problems then.

 

[The Macho King]

Caps are currently in playoff position, so that's something.

 

[DFC]

Well that's one way to #freedrouin.

Didn't look that bad to me though. Looked like side-to-side until Brown committed to the hit.

 

[Brie]

I'm not a fan of how we start periods, we always seem to have a hard time getting going and while DC is really the first team to take advantage of it I'm sure they won't be the last if our team won't get it togther.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Caps are currently in playoff position, so that's something.

Yeah, I just noticed. I have some hope again.

Caps are playing really, really well. Besides the Sharks, I think this is the "best" team we've played all season. Even then it's close. Only a couple minutes in, but still. They're absolutely flying out there.

 

[Brie]

Caps are currently in playoff position, so that's something.

They are, they are batteling for the 3rd place against the rangers.

 

[bov]

Call was warranted but it looked like Wilson sold it.

 

[Brie]

Good kill, now no more stupid plays, it's time to start moving forward and focus on the other teams goal.

 

[DFC]

50 shots against tonight?

 

[Brie]

I wish we could play more like DC on the PP, thankfully they didn't score but they shot the puck a lot and that's what we have to do.

 

[Bolts265]

Call was warranted but it looked like Wilson sold it.

Bull puckey it was a dumb penalty.

 

[FinnLightning26]

The first line has been horrible so far. They have to get better and I believe they will.

 

[The Macho King]

Call was warranted but it looked like Wilson sold it.

He did. At first I thought Brown hurt him the way he stayed on the ice.

Still a dumb hit and a board 100 times out of 100.

 

[Brie]

50 shots against tonight?

And about 20 for if this both teams keep playing like this.

 

[Coopers Gum]

Lol at Chief's comment there.

 

[Coopers Gum]

In other news, Stamkos kinda turned it on to match the Caps intensity last shift. We'll see if it trickles down to the rest of the team.

It was weird because I saw Stamkos skating his heart out, and then the puck got to the defense, and its was like... pluh

 

[Brie]

They just attack right after the faceoff, we need to get better that that.

 

[Bolts265]

50 shots against tonight?

They will be half way there by the end of the first the way they are playing.

 

[DFC]

That beautiful display of skating brought to you by Dumptruck Paquette.

 

[TampaBayLightning]

Yes!!!!
