Where’s our GDT?

 

[Cappy76]

The Caps have to “lead” the league in blown 2-0 and 3-1 series leads the past few decades. I would wager it’s not even close either.

100% though I have never checked.

Pretty sure a few years back this was discussed and the franchise has the most 2-0, 3-0, or 3-1 series lost in professional sports, not just NHL.

Shame, i wanted this to be best-on-best, as Playoffs should be.

Dobes isn’t a pushover backup, his numbers in his games this year are very solid.

Do it. I have faith in you.

That doesn't look like someone who can't move laterally to me.

 

[Block]

This is a serious wtf

Maybe Strome kneed him in the balls.

 

[Calicaps]

Do it. I have faith in you.

Yes. And none of that AI garbage weighing the thread and the team down. Let’s get back to what we do best… next to nothing.

Please let’s not.

He's just standing upright lightly stopping puck arounds behind the net. Where is video of him actually doing fast, sharp goalie technique movements? I still think Lindgren is starting tonight, until I see proof LT is looking normal practicing in net!

Man I could not believe it when I saw the video of LT at morning skate. What in the world?! Don't even care if he goes tonight, it's a miracle he's even out there after watching him skate off the ice Friday night. LFGO! Just get big Pro out there tonight and stomp on them and don't let up and close it out in D.C. this week.

 

[WcRoenick97]

Have they provided an update on Mont? Looked like that hamstring got shredded Friday.

They have only been up 3-0 in a 7 game series once. Back in 2016 against the Flyers, they won that series 4-2.

He's listed as day2day. Dobes will start for them.

There are other vid clips of LT in practice, but nothing evident that he was doing sharp edge movements that goalies normally do. In fact there is a vid clip of him stopping a soft dump around, going behind the net and coming out the other side where he leans his right-hand glove on top of his right leg pad like he's favoring/feeling something. I don't have time to post the clip, but you can see it on main boards through a posted X(formerly Twitter) clip.

Good teams win on the road...

Panthers 7-4 (8-4 the year before)
Golden Knights 7-3
Avalanche 9-1
Lightning 7-4
Blues 10-3
Capitals 10-3

Road records for champions.

I have no idea what that means. Strome injured LT.

Didn’t Montreal fans boo LT for getting injured?

Five classless subbans

That doesn’t make sense. You classlessly cheer for injuries.

It’s hard to tell what’s going on by watching the game on tv.
