GDT: Game 80 | Pittsburgh Penguins vs Washington Capitals | 7:30PM | Healing Vibes Phor Phil

[Crosbyfan]

Not to mention his board work. He is hard on the puck, maybe not to the level of ZAR but 100% better than Sheary. I doubt anyone can deny him that.

Sooo...not very good then?

 

[KIRK]

We can't win the cup this year with our PK being this bad.

Thank goodness we dress useless 5 on 5 players like Kuhn to be PK specialists . . .

 

[Shaffer]

 

[Andy99]

Why was Roenick suggesting Murray had been bad in the past against the Caps? Does anyone know what his save % is against the Caps?

 

[HuskerTornado]

That's actually a little surprising.

You were expecting more Ovechtricks?

Is it really the forwards fault on the PK, or is it our defenseman standing around? I think it's more of the latter.

 

[Ryder71]

Mario's time was long enough ago that there's no point in still getting angsty over it.

All I'm saying in that was far worse, especially considering he's arguably the most talented player to ever play.

 

[OnMyOwn]

I'd rest Phil. He's already PPG for the season.

We’re playing for the division. Don’t rest anyone.

 

[LOGiK]

So Brassard is now considered missing and or dead?!

This GDT makes me want really want a hot dog.

No, it’s no one wanting to miss the POs by blocking a shot and getting injured. They’ll sell out in the POs...so no need to play Kuhn at all!

 

[JakeNBake59]

I hope Phil is playing because he is fit and not because he is intent on keeping his iron man streak going

 

[KIRK]

So, looks like Kessel in practice mode with one good wrist OR Kuhn for Geno-Hags. I'd ask what's behind door #3, but there's no way Simon would get a look there if Phil can't go.

 

[KIRK]

You were expecting more Ovechtricks?

No . . . I never would've expected (a) Geno to have outscored Sid and (b) Ovi to be so far behind in the regular season games where all three have played.

 

[Allie Kitsune]

I have to admit. It's impressive to see Grape Ape still put together 45G seasons even as he goes grey.

 

[ColePens]

I'm taking it as a positive that Kessel can go. We desperately need 81 to be 81 once the playoffs roll through.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

The prize for winning the Metro is likely playing NJ right?

Washington can have it.

 

[ColePens]

I think, as a hockey fan, we should celebrate his goal scoring ability. Same as we should celebrate how awesome McDavid is. But so many people refuse to do so. I'm not saying you have to root for him in any way against the Pens, but he's one of the best goal scorers of all time. Might as well enjoy it. The Pens have dominated in every single way when it matters. It's not like we can get any more.

I want the hardest path.

Give me Jersey->Washington->Boston (or Toronto) -> Nashville.

If we can't beat the hardest path through, we don't deserve it.

 

[KIRK]

Kind of surprising that Ovi is the first Capitals player ever to play 1000 games with that franchise.

 

[LOGiK]

Reduction in pigment = reduction of skill ?

Don't get me wrong. I absolutely respect the talent of Ovi and McDavid.

I just can't root for the success of the organizations they're tied to.

Likely the Flyers. NJ will likely crossover into the Atlantic bracket.

He’s been going grey since he was like 27-28.

I remember watching a story about a handicap girl he’s friends with 3-4 yrs ago and she was busting his balls about his hair going grey.

Nope, jersey is likely to play Boston.
