GDT: GDT Caps v Flaming Flamers 9 pm EST

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Well they are starting to put some things together. I hope they keep it up.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

2 points again, 2 Ovi goals, all 4 goals on Vladar were very nice, and we're on a 3 game winning streak.

Feels good to win

 

[DWGie26]

Vanny!! Vanny!! Vanny!!

that is all.

You love you some Vanny don’t you!

 

[Devil Dancer]

Winning, scoring 5 goals and Ovie gets two. Feels good to be back in the fun zone.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Ovy….

 

[um]

Dare I say they are turning a corner? Some iffy times during that game but fair to say that’s a bend and not break performance against a very good team.

Having a starting goalie and a working PP is helping.

 

[um]

You love you some Vanny don’t you!

Yes sir I do!

 

[DWGie26]

We are as our dee goes. When healthy we are much better. Not a coincidence that we started better when we had our full 6 on dee!

 

[Langway]

Not always pretty but gutsy and balanced.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

new lucky jacket is now 3-0 will be back on tomorrow

 

[SpinningEdge]

Few things;

1. watching caps hockey has been fun past few games.

2. Mantha is good.

3. I’m starting to believe again.... oh no.

wear it out!

 

[Carlzner]

Mantha is good

 

[zappa4ever]

Heckuva game, could've been 7-7 with all the chances
Gutsy play from a lot of the team, great effort

I got involved tonight really wanting this for the team,
so nice to get the Big W against a red hot team, think JoeB said CGY was 12-0-1 at home since Jan17?

chef's kiss on that Mantha snipe between Dman's legs, that had to feel good

 

[DWGie26]

Even line play. Everyone with over 12 minutes. OV only 17:10. Good balance goes a long ways.

We will see the long term effect of balanced ice time, but my prediction is that it will help 8 and 92 the most. Even Kuzy has looked tired during the past few weeks compared to the beginning of the season.

Now the 3rd line needs to bring the same level of play every night for this to work. They're the weak link in this group of forwards.

 

[zappa4ever]

Mantha was all around the puck tonight, too bad it was bouncing on all those 1st/2nd pd chances
enjoyed his calm under pressure tonight along the boards finding quick outlets, and on PP2 serving up backhand sauce with ease

So nice to have almost everyone slotted properly now, McMic needs to get hoodoo'd for some re-mojo-fizationy

Back on Team All In after being a very steady Team Fold for most of 2022

 

[Reinhart]

Good game Cap fans. I told you that your team are still legitimate contenders - no panic, just a solid team getting a win on the road against another team that is playing very well. Cool that Ovie tied Jagr's record against the same team Jagr last played for, and in the same building as Jagr scored last. I will not lie - I was hoping that the 2nd empty net shot that Mangiapane blocked went in, just to see that record broken. Good luck the rest of the season.

 

[um]

Welcome back!

As long as Ovie and Backstrom are here and putting us in the playoffs, I want to take chances and make moves.

f*** a forced rebuild, let’s do that when we can’t make the playoffs.

 

[max21]

Nice win to wake up to against a hot team. Love to see Mantha score and Ovechkin now tied with Jagr. Shearys on a tear

 

[ovikovy817]

Ovi

BTW what about the rocket race? Shouldn't be far away despite your team being off for 2 months

 

[SpinningEdge]

Even line play. Everyone with over 12 minutes. OV only 17:10. Good balance goes a long ways.

Lavi has no idea what to do now thst hagelin is out - and that is prob a good thing! Balance it out!

Very classy - cheers to you Calgary fan

Ovi

I think he's too far back this year - 35 to Matthews 43 I think? I am sure Ovie will land around 50 but I think Matthews could get 60 - that team gets laughed at a lot but they have some serious talent / firepower.
