GDT: GDT: Caps v Rangers today err tonight at 7:30 pm

Pretty incredible that every game this year (even the two losses) would've been in the top quartile of games they played last year. Hope the Chychrun injury news is not too bad

These games playing with 5 d-men is happening too often. We might have to start playing with 7 d-men!

The Capitals had 8 expected goals tonight. That is unreal.

Yeah Shesterkin was absolutely unreal. We should have blown them out.

Actually closer to 9

The Capitals had 8 expected goals tonight. That is unreal.

Highest in the last three seasons by over 2 goals. Hell, it's their highest on record at natural stat trick dating back to the 07-08 season. Insane.

Also, 74.13 xGF% at even strength is their third highest percentage for a game in the last three seasons. Man does it feel nice to watch the Caps consistently dominate ES play, especially with such a tough schedule to start the year.

Yeah Shesterkin was absolutely unreal. We should have blown them out.

We could have been Halaked tonight, but the Caps kept at it and got 4 past Shesterkin. A lot of teams don't even get 3 past Shesterkin in a game.

lol I saw a blog comment that said why does Laviolette look like a mortician

Pretty spot on

Don’t look now, but the Caps are tied with the Canes for best P% in the East at .750

Pretty spot on

Throw him in a coffin and he'd look like a pretty good corpse too

Just back from the game. Man that was fun! Lots of energy.

McMichael was insane. So was Pro. Thought OV would get the Hattie. Had some Rags fans behind me and convinced the girl to throw her hat for OV. We had a fun time as each team scored. Was sad OV didn’t get the Hattie.

Seemed like second line was out there every-other shift to end the game.

 

[Midnight Judges]

That was a great game against a very good team.
