GDT: Game 81: Caps @ Islanders

[PlushMinus]

Glad I’ll miss this one. Back for the Thursday game sun drenched and all. One last night of babysitting a dozen 18 year old girls while fending off two groups of 18 year old boys from NC. this was a trip (not a vacation). But at least i have missed the last few Caps games. Haha.

Just tell the boys from North Carolina that none of the girls are related to them and they'll leave them alone

Well at least Krusty the Clown goalie has been sent back down and Stevenson is the backup.

Falling likes flies right before the loffs

Looked like holding the stick to me.

Is Beauvi somehow the guy that can actually play with 8 and 17??

Right? That line looks great.

 

[Pigskin]

Strome is very likeable ... hope he gets a hatty

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Stromer getting. 30 would be nice….80pts…..


One of the Caps best UFA signings ever?

It is really bad luck, after going almost the whole regular season - apart from Ovie - without any injuries at all.

People here talk about our defensive depth but we really don't have any IMO. Alexeyeev and McIlrath are not top 6 guys and they certainly aren't playoff guys.

We really need LT, Protas and Fever back for the playoffs. (stating the obvious I know). They are essential to how the team plays / has played.

Leonard draws a lot of penalties.

Sandin’s agility is helping out the PP

Yea cause opposing clubs keep beating the shit outta him, lol

Lots of welcomes to the NHL for #9

it boggles my mind that some people on our board have been shitting on him and saying we need to look at better centers next season. Just laughably absurd.

I swear some people would only be happy if a team went 82-0 and 16-0 in the playoffs.

 

[Pigskin]

not that the Isles are throwing much at him, but a shut out for Chuckie would surely give him some timely confidence

go Chuckie

Alexeyev could easily play top 6.

 

[Block]

Alexeyev could easily play top 6.

Yeah, it'd be not as good of a top 6 if he had to replace Fever, but he'd be fine as the 6th guy.

 

[PlushMinus]

Alexeyev could easily play top 6.

I would prefer that theory is put to the test during the regular season, rather than being forced to find out during the upcoming playoffs.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Alexeyev could easily play top 6.

Easily does not equal well…..

 

[stephenball]

I think AA shows promise, and could have a good career on another team. Washington is just a rough place for him to be with LD depth, specially now that Hutson is in the system.

 

[RedRocking]

Fantilli makes it 3-0. Really don’t want to see that team.

Alexeyev would be fine on the bottom pair.

Would you rather waste assets on veteran depth defenseman like a Mike Weber?

Capitals won the cup with Djoos…..
