GDT: Caps vs Hawks 9 pm Dec 13

[twabby]

Did we find out why Snively didn’t get a jersey tonight?

 

[Holtbyisms]

92 and 39 together on this post-penalty shift look capable together, but Mantha can't convert the opportunities to shots on goal

Manthas confidence is cooked right now. He can't hit the net and he bobbles the pick away constantly. Not sure what's going on there.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Dowder?

 

[twabby]

Dowd is a good shot for a 4th liner

 

[Firsov99]

Hey what if 800 was an own goal credited to AO, heh.

Like his first goal (the oddest goal of his career) against Phoenix in the same game when his scored the goal? )

Back to the two-goal cushion.

 

[twabby]

Woof Seth Jones. What a contract!

 

[um]

Dowd has a great shot.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Woof Seth Jones. What a contract!

Imagine paying that plug $9M LMAO

He's paid at least 3 times his worth as a player

 

[Hivemind]

Steve Levy calling NAK's game "unbelievable" LOL

 

[usiel]

Have to say NAK has some some speed and is rugged on the boards.

I'm glad we've finally found a topic that HFCaps can really rally around together - a mutual disdain for ESPN's hockey crew

 

[usiel]

Damn Oshie almost set up Protas for a slam dunk goal.

 

[Holtbyisms]

ESPN so focused on plugging their prerecorded segments they miss key shit in the game lol

But but his dad is Popeye (and I guess his mom is Olive Oyl).

“Vladimir Namestikov”

 

[McVechkin]

Is it just me or ESPN kinda talking down on ovies game in a back handed kinda way ?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I didn't think so, if anything, they pointed out his ability to have his stick exactly where it needs to be at all times to find the back of the net. Lots of guys covering him every single night, but he manages to free up his stick in tight

 

[tycoonheart]

Eller seems to be expendable. Protas at 3C isn't a downgrade at all. Also NAK on 4th line looks good.

 

[Hivemind]

The issue with NAK is the frequency of penalties, including dumb offensive zone penalties. He helped contribute to that Dowd goal, but his penalty was also responsible for Chicago's second goal.

We can all agree on that! Turrible.

 

[Hivemind]

Ovie and Protas getting a shift together is nice to see. My only comment with Protas on that shift is that he defaults to the board-cycle game regardless of which forward slot he's playing and who his linemates are. He did a nice job moving the puck from the corner, but an Ovechkin line really doesn't want to be cycling the puck around the corner during it's shift.

 

[Monsterrain]

Shoot that 39, wtf?

He stinks

 

[Hivemind]

Does Messier say anything other than "He's having a great game tonight, Cheli"

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

What's with ESPN's hard on for NAK? He's having a decent game but he's still a plug lol

They've talked more about NAK than they have about Charlie Lindgren
