GDT: Game #47: Capitals @ Oilers - 7 PM - SNW

[Tobias Kahun]

Posters here are gonna be surprised when Klingberg plays like everyone thinks Bouchard does.

Bouchard might finally get some respect around here

 

[Oilhawks]

This is one of those nights where you swear he’s just thinking about brushing his horses. Would rather be anywhere but here…

Maybe he's a brony now

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Hope Bowman wakes up

Shots 21-8

LOSING 2-1 LMAO

 

[Mez]

3.5 expected goals vs 0.9 and yet here we are down 2-1...somehow expected.

 

[OfCorsiDid]

Idk about that.

Teams playing pretty well, just Thompson is good and well... You know the rest.

Ah a Stu Shitter Shitacular!

 

[Ibanez]

I haven’t watched wsh this year. But I look up and down their lineup and am having a hard time understanding how they are this high in the standings. Like some good players but few true game breakers?

Pdo darlings of the year?

What am I not seeing?

Experience Stu Skinner goaltending

 

[CanadasTeam99]

We should play Pickard against Vancouver. Probably lose that one too

 

[Old Boys Club]

Thompson has made some alert saves on a couple jam plays and close rebounds.

.952 in his last 5 with 2 shutouts, holy hot streak

He's too busy scouting the waiver wire and recycle bin for #6 D and 11th/12th F. We don't do big moves here (or even medium ones).

They are the Canucks of this season.

 

[DavidHasselhoffsFist]

Wish it was Bouch who suspended

They look like they play good fundamental hockey and have GREAT goalie this year

Look at his numbers. DWARFS Skinners

Washington is the PDO king this year. It’s like playing against last year’s Canucks.

Nothing to see!!!! It’s all an illusion !!!

 

[VainGretzky]

One goalie playing at .950 the other sub .800

They're actually even higher in PDO than Vancouver was last year.

 

[Oilhawks]

They are the Canucks of this season.

Yup, and the Canucks are back to being the Canucks of the last 10 years.

 

[KCC]

edm is not winning a cup with Stu skinner. Simple as that. Last year was this team’s best shot with that plug in net.

 

[CanadasTeam99]

Skinner is Superman and 0.900 is the Kryptonite

lol there it is….

Every year there is another Vancouver

 

[OilerTitanFan]

I would 100% put Klingberg on our top PP when he starts.

I don't know if Knob has the nuts to do it

Same here. Bouch is gifted a spot and thinks he can stay there forever.

 

[foshizzle]

I think he’s actually reverting to negative territory

Klingberg can come in and bouch can ride the press box for a few. Coffey can give him some colouring and a cross word.

All of the answers will be “grow some balls”

This is just plain ridiculous. No one on the team has the ability to move the puck like Bouchard. Period. Zone exits and zone denials he is excellent. His in-zone defence has dropped- but he is still elite every where else

 

[Old Boys Club]

This is the problem against top teams, you can't give them freebies. Arvidsson gives them one with a terrible unforced turnover, Skinner gives them another with a stinker from the point
