GDT: ECQF: Game 5 - Washington Capitals vs Montreal Canadiens, 7pm ET, ESPN

[Summer Rose]

In public school, you have to complete a level II foreign language to graduate.

I took French I in the 7th, 8th, 9th and 9th grade bc I love hockey and thus Canada.

Failed very time.

Guidance counselor after sophmore year suggests I try Spanish.

My high school also sort of required two years of a foreign language in order to graduate. Actually kind of not really… now that I think about it, that was the entry requirement for state universities in Arizona instead. You could graduate without taking a foreign language, then get around that requirement and go directly to an in-state university anyway with certain minimum scores on either the SAT or ACT. Alternately you could go the community college route and then transfer after two years.

I did the ACT and otherwise bare minimum, but I did take three years of French anyway. I learned enough to get by in France the summer after graduating.

Now I’ve forgotten most of it.

I do fear we have propped Protas up a bit too much .. has the shadow of Paul Bunyan playing his first game back

Agreed. He'll need a few shifts to get back up to speed, but he plays such a simple game I doubt it'll take too long. Plus, size never goes into a slump.

 

[Herregud]

God, those Caps special teams stats

Reminds me of a similar saying my dad liked to say about sports: “speed never goes into a slump.”

My dad is however not a hockey fan, and usually applied that saying to baseball players, particularly Ichiro Suzuki.

Also how the word is spelled in English pretty much everywhere except for the United States.

Are you implying the US isn’t the centre of the universe

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Would love to see the Habs pull this one out to give the home town crowd one more game

If they don’t, I am happy with their season. They’ve exceeded expectations and the young guns look amazing. The future is bright!

 

[Jee]

naah nevermind WE'RE GONNA f*** YOU UP HAHA

BRING IT ON CAPS BROS

 

[CactusCap]

Caps win 5-1. OV hat trick. Protas SHG.

 

[Leonardo87]

Whose GDT OP is this?

This is wayyyyy too fancy for the likes of us Caps fans...

It even has stats lol.

It’s mine. The Caps GDT was rather trollish and Montreal only had a pregame thread at the time. So decided to make a neutral thread for everyone.

More evidence that the league favors the Caps.

Leonardo is definitely the best turtle anyways and no one can dispute that fact ever so it's A OK in my book lol.

If we win, we are going to expect you to keep making our good luck GDTs though.

No pressure!

I have no horse in this race so was best I made the thread. But good luck tonight.

Nah, not the league ........just the refs of the league

Hopes Wilson won't turtle again, big guy's like him should be able to answer the bell not just ring it

Ya it would have been a great idea if he fought a plug like Anderson there instead of you know the Caps scoring the tying goal right after..

Wilson is a 1st line player. He shouldn't waist any time fighting with some goon from 4th line/3rd pairing.
It cost the Caps in game 3 missing him for more than 12 minutes in the 3rd period.

Hey now, that’s enough about the turtle talk.

So what happens if it's Capitals vs. Knights in the SCF?

Oh well, i'm an old school kinda guy, if Andy take the head off of Carlson i would expect him to accept Wilson or any other Caps invitation, but that's just me

Hey now, that’s enough about the turtle talk.

OK sir, yes sir

Good game everyone

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I feel like it depends on if the hit was clean or dirty. Guys shouldn't feel obligated to fight every time they throw a big, clean hit. If it's dirty, yeah absolutely.

learning languages during grades wasnt a success for me aswell,

took few more in undergrad and it went well somehow

 

[BMOK33]

I felt as if one of Toronto or carolina was going to win 5-0 last night. Neither did, it might happen here though

I thought it was spelled Wilson Center.

I’m sure the habs would love to take a top line player out of the lineup, doesn’t really make sense for the caps though
