GDT: Caps at Canes

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Hockey is a dumb game. The win, no matter how weak the Caps are, gives me life.

Caps are such annoying team, they never give up

I have always felt our guys are spooked by the Caps. They use to pummel us every time and some of the older guys disappear against vs Washington

Note to self: do not try to follow a shootout through the ESPN app.

Every time it refreshed, it swapped the goals to saves and vice versa. Kuznetsov scored… nope, Freddie saved it… jk he really scored… syke no he didn’t. It was maddening. I finally came here to figure out what the hell was going on.

We lost

 

[Unsustainable]

shouldn't have given a point to them missing so many key creatures on their roster

For whatever reason, svech and necas are the only ones comfortable passing through the box on the PP (only to each other tho).

For the 4 on 3 in ot, Necas started on the bench and Svech was put in front of the net.

But whatever, they won. PP is unreliable, this isn't new.

Hathaway is Wilson w/o the skill..

Its not just Canes, Caps are physical and have good team defence and special plays. One of the toughest teams to play against.

Hanna is learning with the patented Abby question there at the end.

I don't think that's her patented question.

Ugly but I will take it

True but I think Ovi, who has feasted on Carolina for years and still does, along with said physical play really has a mental edge over the Canes -2019 playoffs notwithstanding…

Our finesse guys play timid vs teams like Washington and Boston. Need to get tougher between the ears.

We lost

god damn it I just watched this whole game, too.

Every team has a stinker here and there, but overall, the Canes are doing well. Squeezing extra points with key players slumping, including against a very good Calgary team, is what the top teams do. Hopefully Aho and Turbo, mainly, wake up soon, but the best part about this is that the Canes are not doing the Laffs routine.

The way Noesen was holding his arm, I thought for sure it was a shoulder injury after that hit. I know he stayed on the bench and played on the PP, but didn't see him on the ice much other than that PP. Maybe it was just a stinger/bruise.

Shootout sniper was not on my Burns acquisition list

 

[surfzone365]

Hate shootouts but they are part of the game. Seems we’ve been pretty good at them overall. Glad we’re getting points while we’re figuring things out

 

[HisIceness]

A win is a win!

6-2-1 with a TON of room to improve isn’t so bad, I suppose.

I try not to moan about a win but man, would love for us to beat these guys in particular in regulation.

This team is too old to get any better
