GDT: 8/3/20 - 4:00PM EDT - Washington vs Tampa Bay [Round Robin Game 1]

[DaBolts]

filthy shot

Holtby had no prayer on that one. That was wicked.

 

[Sear91]

REALLY like the effort on the forecheck thus far. Kuch RIPPED that one, my goodness!

 

[VinikToWinIt]

Cirelli hurting after that collision.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Expecting Washington to let the leash of the cleanest player in the league, Tom Wilson.

 

[Felonious Python]

former AHL coach

 

[DaBolts]

Ugh. Stupid penalty.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

dumb penalty for Serge

 

[Felonious Python]

I forgot for a hot minute that the Caps had Kovalchuk.

 

[Sky04]

That's a deadly PP lineup damn

 

[VinikToWinIt]

I thought we were the only ones that rolled 4 forwards out.

On the PP? 4 forwards is pretty standard.

On a 4 on 3.

It's normally Carlson on the point but he's out so they might as well use one of Kuznestsov or Kovalchuk

 

[HoseEmDown]

Anyone else's game shut off on them for blackout restrictions? How do you even have blackout restrictions on an exhibition game? Aren't blackout restrictions tied to sellouts too, how does that work when fans aren't allowed in the arena?

 

[Master P]

McD's skating looks so much better.

 

[Fabiobest]

Very good first period and not only for the goal.
I could say that this version of Wilson is a big gift for Tampa. I hope he'll continue to play as chill as he did in this period.

 

[JFleegs]

Caps picked it up in the end there and were running everyone. Trying to take over physically, gotta pick up the intensity.

It may be because it's nationally broadcast on NBCSN. That being said - I was able to bypass a blackout on NHL.tv yesterday by selecting one of the multi-camera views. Doubt that always works but it worked for me yesterday.

 

[Stammertime91]

This is a slow game for these two teams. Capitals are starting their 20 foot runs. Gotta keep your head up if you're on Tampa.

Coleman is such a vanilla and predictable player. Dating back to his first games with us, hes basically like joseph out there but not as much of a defensive liability. I don't get it though, hes better than that... He is just playing too much on the outside..

 

[The Macho King]

I'm sure they'd normally have Carlson out there.

They did away with the blackout restrictions for playoff games a few years ago when nationally broadcast. I guess this isn't a playoff game like most of the other series but this isn't a normal time for sports. Kinda a shitty move if you ask me.

 

[TheDaysOf 04]

Just looking at it now, Kuch's career playoff stats are pretty close to Marty's time as a Bolt

I had the same deal with Toronto-Columbus last night, and I live in South Florida. Not sure why, but it sucks.

That doesn't even make sense.
