GDT: GAME #82 4/8 3 PM - Washington at BRUINS - Next Game vs ??????? | NBC, WBZ-FM 98.5

What makes it worse is this isn't Toronto, Washington doesn't need the NHL's help.

 

[rocketdan9]

JFK looked better as the game moved fwd

nothing stands out though... the skating, faceoffs, stickhandling

like vanilla on the ice

 

[Bruinaura]

Wow that was boring for 18 shots.

It's just Ottawa wearing Caps jerseys.

 

[toasterjam]

well that sucked, atleast only down 1

Really missing Acciari out there hitting everything that moves, hope his injury isnt bad.

We really need more guys willing to throw hits and provide some tenacious forecheck. Have the Caps D looking over their shoulder for hits.

Love Moore, Nash has been alright, Schaller..filler..either way none of these guys are intimidating anyone with their hits/forecheck.

Beleskey can barely skate so he is usually behind the play, hard to make good hits.

Stafford, Spooner not physical.

Just no toughness in the bottom 6.

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

Liles needs to go far side high on that chance. But at the same time Spooner needs to open up for him and prep for the pass. Crap play all around

 

[Bourque7799]

This team is so soft, they don't play a physical game and couldn't care less that Carlo got boarded. Unreal

 

[Greek_physique]

We really need to wake up....that being said Refs blow.

 

[Mione134]

If Carlo is out and if I'm Donny. I'm on the phone with McAvoy's agent signing him to an ELC and getting him up here.

 

[BruinLVGA]

I hope Carlo is OK. It feels like a complete joke from the hockey gods, if after losing Krug, we lose Carlo. Who on earth is going to play on game 1 of the playoffs on D?

 

[Sheppy]

I just hate their style of play. They just don't care anymore, the fire is gone and has been for a while. If people like watching the "going through the motions" type of hockey, whatever.

It's just tough for me to watch a team that would be intimidated by pee-wees.

The fact that no one so much as went in and grabbed Ovechkin tells you all you need to know about the make up of this team. "Hey, go ahead... smash someone from behind, we won't do anything about it"

 

[missingchicklet]

A response is definitely needed for that hit on Carlo. Hopefully someone on the Bs is able to line Ovi up and rock his world. Even if it is a clean hit it will likely be a major given how absurd the reffing is these days, but it will be glorious.

 

[Ladyfan]

Long time lurker, first time poster. The playoffs finally galvanized me to signup!

Go Bruins!

Welcome

I hope someone nails #8

 

[Gonzothe7thDman]

We definitely need to be more physical. Washington is a big team but Beleskey and Backes need to bring the big body presence. Part of their paycheck is supposed to be for that

 

[The Zapper]

Amazing they let that hit on Carlo go

I'd be amazed if they called it. The officiating gets more atrocious every game

 

[TP]

Wasn't intentional. LMAO

 

[Mione134]

"the hit was fine"

Lmao

He hooked him and boarded him.

 

[DitClapper]

Wasn't intentional. LMAO

The hook that should've been called? Or the hit?

What a joke.

 

[DKH]

It would've be nice to have Marchand in this game...


Thanks Brad.

I want him traded

I want ****ing choir boys

 

[toasterjam]

this is just the way Ovechkin plays the game...hits from behind into boards...it's just how he plays the game so we have to let him do it.

thanks Keith Jones.

****ing dumb.

 

[Bruinaura]

Jack is a little perturbed as well.



And of course Keith Jones had no problem with the hit. The same guy who had no problem with the Jones hit on Bergeron ten years ago.

 

[missingchicklet]

Oh **** off Jones. Of course he was going down. He was being massively hooked as he neared the boards. And who cares if Ovi was letting up or not, he boarded him regardless. Carlo has not returned. Real clean play right?

 

[DrJustice]

I'm going to stay positive here. Playoffs for the first time in 3 years, when a lot of people thought we wouldn't even be close. Great years from Marchand and Pastrnak, and the early returns on an impressive 2015 draft class with Carlo and JFK's first game.

I can understand why people are wondering why JFK is playing when he probably isn't as ready as McAvoy but honestly I'd rather burn JFK's year if I had a choice anyways. This pro experience will show him what he needs to do to prepare for next year and hopefully this trial by fire is a good first step in his development. I'm not expecting Bergeron 2.0 right off the bat, and anyone thinking he would be is just looking to be negative IMO.

 

[Fopppa]

What makes it worse is this isn't Toronto, Washington doesn't need the NHL's help.

Yeah. Thought the same thing. They don't need this. Disgusted.

 

[kytem2]

Agreed, hooking then boarding then looking so conciliatory.

 

[Greek_physique]

Jones is an idiot.
