GDT: GAME 60 | Senators @ Capitals | No Candy for Ovy Edition | Mon March 3 2025, 6:30PM | TSN5, TVAS

  • Xenforo Cloud has upgraded us to version 2.3.6. Please report any issues you experience.
We traded what would be our fourth leading scorer for vet presence on the second pair.

And what would be our top scorer for Kubalik.

Not how winners are built. You can’t be on the short end of EVERY TRADE

Some people are clinging to the idea that we still play Columbus three times so if we win those games, we're good!

Unfortunately, by the time we play the BlueJackets, we may be more than 6 points behind them. Or, they won't be the team in the WC anymore so beating them won't matter.

The road trip in Florida? Don't worry 3 games won't decide the season!
The game against Montreal? Don't worry 1 game won't decide the season!
Tonight? Don't worry 1 game won't won't decide the season!

At a certain point these games add up, and the do, in fact, decide the season.
Playing Columbus isn’t an easy result either, they’re playing hard and well.
 
I understand the concept, you don't seem to understand how difficult it will be after tonight to make it back to a playoff spot regardless of the number of games left.
It will be no more difficult than if we win today and lost the next game,

This game was always going to be a tough outing, I fully expected a lose going in, road game against one of if not the best team in the league.

We need 28 pts in our last 24-25 games, nothing really changes aside from one less game to do it in


A win today would have been a luxury, not a necessity.

They're better than we are. The "don't worry we'll just beat Columbus" takes are odd because why should anyone think we can beat Columbus 3 times out of 3? We're not nearly good enough to think anything like that, especially when talking about teams that are ahead of us in the standings!

He's gone. Stop dwelling on it. What's done is done.
