GDT: G19: Capitals @ Kings - Crypto.com arena - 10:38pm

[um]

I just don’t get what Carbery sees in Ovie-Kuzy-Wilson. I don’t see any positives whatsoever.

 

[HTFN]

Love him but nobody here had him as the capitals top offensive player this year lol

I’ve said for a few years that the next wave of Capitals success is accidentally realizing the first line isn’t the first line anymore. Have also been bullish that McMichael is an intuitive and intelligent player that needs reps to figure out what works and why stuff doesn’t so he can internalize it and come back different, which is basically what we see from him now and what we weren’t seeing last year due to opportunity.

I didn’t think he would be THE best, but might be up there and easily top 6

I just don’t get what Carbery sees in Ovie-Kuzy-Wilson. I don’t see any positives whatsoever.

Same, why Ovechkin and Strome aren’t virtually stapled together is beyond me

 

[Coldplay619]

Have we had a shot in the third?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

You know what time it is Ovi...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Good game boys

 

[twabby]

Tonight's game puck goes to Anthony Mantha for a goal, a primary assist, 4 shots, and a 78% xGF share.

Honorable mentions to Charlie Lindgren, Connor McMichael, and Aliaksei Protas.

 

[marcel snapshot]

You’ve been Chuckied!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

CMM and Protas on the end of the game line

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Charlie Lindgren won by himself.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge 2 pts!

I feel that way about Kuzy - he ought to be benched for a while. I thought Ovie - strome - wilson looked OK earlier in the season, but that feels like a dream now.

 

[Coldplay619]

Habs 2010 performance.

 

[RedRocking]

Chucky with highway robbery. Respect to my dude.

Gutsy win. CMM best Caps skater.

I don’t know, I thought Byfield might get it by being just another guy out there

 

[Langway]

CHARLES IN CHARGE.

(NHL.com headline guy probably.)

 

[troyerlaw]

Shocked Kings didnt score. That was a pretty intense turtle

 

[Holtbyisms]

Surprised, we looked doomed the whole period lol

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Lindgren is casually at 2.30 GAA and .933 SV%. We haven't had that kind of goaltending since prime Holtby.

 

[HTFN]

Habs 2010 performance.

Thanks for reminding me, Vaughn Iceberg pads are the secret to getting shelled.

 

[mad4comp]

Shocked Kings didnt score. That was a pretty intense turtle

turtling is a choice... we didn't have a choice, we were just insanely overmatched. Zero offense or speed for the last two periods.

 

[Ridley Simon]

It felt like a back to back? Whoops

And spells are broken. That said, I didn’t comment on the Sharks game, so…. That cleansed me.

I am cleansed. Another spell is cast.

I am humbled

What the HECK are you talking about! Game Puck goes to CHUCKIE SIDEBURNS! NO ARGUMENT!

 

[RedRocking]

Live shot of Chucky getting treated in the locker room

 

[troyerlaw]

Lindgren has looked a little scrambly and flustered so far. Maybe it’s just that Kings play harder and faster than Caps are used to and are generating more chances

This didn’t age well, lol. He was legend

 

[HTFN]

Lindgren was f***ing nuts. The amount of times he was deep in his crease and still stopping shots, not by positioning, but because of rebounds or rushes was amazing. That five hole stop on... Kempe? I think where he stayed strong on the far pad and pushed the puck was a thing of beauty.
