GDT: Caps @ Wings. 1/31/14. 7:30pm

[Capitlols]

Erskine-Carrick is officially worse than Slerskine.

 

[Brian23]

Man, Backstrom with the great defense. Dat 5 hole on Nuevy.

 

[swimmer77]

Erskine ..........................?????????????????What?????????

 

[InfernalDark*]

hoover

 

[g00n]

Erskine is done. No legs.

 

[Adanac]

Ovie can't catch a break

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Just brutal Erskine...and Backstrom ....nice stick wave...

 

[PuckBuddy]

John Erskine, ladies and gentlemen.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Man, Backstrom with the great defense. Dat 5 hole on Nuevy.

That's all on Big John.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

Not even gonna say it

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

It's almost like Erskine literally thought that puck would explode.

 

[troyerlaw]

double-shift Wellman. seriously. he has a lot more juice than anyone else right now.

 

[g00n]

That's all on Big John.

It was like a triple screen or something. Neuvy wasn't cheating, either. Just a crap play.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It's almost like Erskine literally thought that puck would explode.

Horrible 2 on 2 to give up....

 

[Roughing]

Anyone been to an Oates practice?

Does the team do any passing drills? How about breakouts?

I envision 45 minutes of PP work and 15 minutes taking a knee watching Oates on the whiteboard.

They stand still for two hours with sticks on boards.

[Brian23]

That's all on Big John.

Backstrom needs to at least attempt to stop his guy. And while I don't put a lot of blame on Nuevy, I just hate 5 hole goals.

 

[Corby78]

How can these guys keep playing night in and night out. If your going to play Carrick no matter what, bring up another young D to replace Erksine and just except the OJT

 

[hb13xchamps]

I feel bad for Neuvy. Standing on his head and getting peppered with shots and has to play with Erskine and Carrick out there. I honestly have no clue why those two keep getting paired with the Ovechkin line. Are Oates, McPhee, and Calle trying to loose their jobs?

 

[Corby78]

Almost forgot

2:30 curse still lives.

 

[Corby78]

penalties are 5-1 and we can't get a call when ovie gets dumped away from the puck.

 

[troyerlaw]

And while I don't put a lot of blame on Nuevy, I just hate 5 hole goals.

He couldn't see the puck at all. That's going to lead to a 5-hole goal now and again.

Neuwirth has been spectacular tonite. He should start again next game. And then Grubauer ought to start the one after that.

 

[butters8814*]

Money well spent on erskine

 

[troyerlaw]

I know he scored a shorty yesterday, but what do we think of Ward lately? I think he has really sucked.

 

[troyerlaw]

Do or die on this PP

 

[Corby78]

I know he scored a shorty yesterday, but what do we think of Ward lately? I think he has really sucked.

If he was just a 3rd line winger and not our 2nd leading scorer I don't think it would bother you as much
