GDT: Avs @ Caps | Soon | Dental Emergency

[RECKLESS]

Found our gear half-way to the game and got things going.

Credit where it's due: Georgie. This was his best. With his worst it would have been 7-2 Caps.

Man I loved Girard's game. He can out work some much much bigger guys.

The second line still taking time to build chemistry and confidence. There's no easy match ups on the horizon on the calendar, they'll need to grind it out won't be easy.

 

[TruePowerSlave]

Way to go Georgiev!

I thought the 2nd line got going in the 2nd half of the game. We had flashes of Nuke being a beast again, Mikko looked solid most of the game, Mitts had some struggles but didn't look bad either. If Bednar can snap himself with a rubber band every time he thinks about putting Mikko back with Mack that line can be really good once they gel.

 

[Grigowski]

Georgiev best player for us tonight, no question abouth that. His best game this season, by far.

But i still think he is not the solution long term, and not the goalie who can drag us all over the finish line to another cup.

 

[AvsMakar08]

During his first season here I thought he was the best goalie we had since Varly. Better than Gru and Kuemper.

Yeah, Georgie was like a top 5 goaler in a league during the first season when he played for Avs.

He finished ahead of Shesterkin in the Vezina race

 

[Ceremony]

Imagine only scoring one goal against a guy who literally has "four" in his name. Fold them immediately.

 

[forsbergavs32]

With Ovy out 4-6 weeks I suspect the Caps will go on a bit of a skid. Even with him being 39 that team lives and dies by Ovy

I think my favourite part was Kylington just skating into a guy.

 

[AnimalMother73]

Didn't watch and wanted to ask how did Shillington play otherwise?

Garbage

 

[niwotsblessing]

I only saw the highlights, Moose's goal was classic Moose: randomly backhand the puck through the high slot on the PP and it careens in off a D-Man's skate.

That was definitely one of the moments of all time in the game.

Defense experts, is Manson cooked?

Looks behind the play always now.

Probably. Dudes 33 and plays a pretty heavy game. Doesn’t help how reckless he’s been playing lately that’s for sure.

There's cooked and there's Manson cooked. Brother is like a well-done steak that just got reheated in the microwave at this point.

 

[dahrougem2]

Manson is fine

 

[CobraAcesS]

Manson is fine

Yeah you just deal with it until the playoffs, we've seen this movie before lol.

 

[sethro109]

Yeah, you just have to live with Manson's warts in the regular season, because in the playoffs, he always steps up and is a real intimidation factor on the ice.

I do wish he would be more of a stay at home guy, but he just loves the freewheeling of our system.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

At the end of the day, Manson provides something that nobody else in our defense corps can provide. He’s a mean son of a bitch in the playoffs and makes opposing forwards keep their heads up and think twice when he’s on the ice. You need somebody like that.

 

[dahrougem2]

The fact that Manson still skates as well as he does for 33 given his injury history is amazing tbh. His lateral movement is still good and he doesn't struggle getting up and down the ice.

We all obviously want the YOLO Manson moments to be kept at a minimum but his regular season f*** ups don't matter much to me because we know he's a playoff warrior if healthy.

 

[expatriatedtexan]

I love Manson...I wish we had a lefty version of him to pair with Malinski.

Ryan Graves woulda been a good partner for Malinski..



Probably

Yikes.

A guy who thinks he’s the main character on every shift is exactly the opposite of what you want for a Malinski partner.

 

[Avs9296]

Manson's a weird case. You'd think his skating would fall off a cliff but it's actually very good. His problem is that he plays WAY too aggressive and thinks he's an offensive defenseman for some reason.

But he'll be clutch in the playoffs as usual.
