GDT: caps vs wild

[BallardEra]

Charlie is very cavalier with the puck, as he was on the own goal last time. Make the simple F’ing play, Charlie. He had a guy to the right but chose to try and force a puck through the Wild guy.

He could have easily swept that behind the net too on his backhand. Just brutal overall.

Lindgren really needs to move the puck quickly and not wait, as that blunder was absolutely avoidable.

 

[SherVaughn30]

When Thompson starts, the caps are 15-2-2, while with Lindgren they are 10-8. This is not rocket science and should be a no brainer. I have suggested before, you could do a 2:1 ratio of starts with LT/CL. I have never liked 2 goalies playing every other game. Goalies need to get into a starts type rhythm. Thompson is the hot goalie, so stick with him until he has a loss. Just because CL had 50 games last season, doesn't mean he's earned the right to have the same amount starts as LT.

The Ovi line is cratering in terms of driving play. They need to change that line up.

Neither team is giving much. The 3 goals are 2 deflection/rebound and a dumb puck play by a goalie.

The Ovi lines puck possession has been abysmal for two games. The combo isn’t working.

This upcoming power play is twabby's Critical Moment of the Game

Things seem to have gotten a lot harder the last 10 or so games. Not as crisp passing the puck. Shots are finding back of net. Still always in it. But I’d really like to see some smoothness here.

It doesn’t help when you aren’t playing your best goalie when he is rested and your backup decides to basically give a goal to the other team.

Boom!

Alex Ovechkin has capitalized on my Critical Moment of the Game

Nice

Ovi sticks it to MAF perhaps for the last time ever

 

[SherVaughn30]

3 in 4 since coming back! Gretzky and 50 are very possible...

Ovi sticks it to MAF perhaps for the last time ever

OV has scored more goals on Fleury in his career than any other goalie.

Agreed. Tho the Wild are missing their best player.

Missing two of their best players, Kaprizov and Spurgeon.

 

[tycoonheart]

Fever deserves that.
