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

[qc14]

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

 

[SherVaughn30]

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.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Actually closer to 9

 

[Kalopsia]

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.

 

[SherVaughn30]

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

[RedRocking]

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

 

[DWGie26]

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.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Props to Mac busting up Wimpe that he was leaking the rocking red from his face!

 

[Nogatco Rd]

the knicks, yankees, giants, and rangers all lost in the last 24 hours lmao

 

[PlushMinus]

Jeez Nogatco Rd with the surprise emoji! I was just saying, Lavi looks a bit dead sometimes behind the bench lol

As youtuber Dr Todd Grande says "I'm not diagnosing anybody, just speculating on what might have occurred in a situation like this..."

True crime fans please check him out ^^^ he's pretty good!

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Caps win and Pens are only ahead of the Sharks in the entire league.

Great night overall.

Does anyone smell the aroma of a first OA wafting from the ashes of Civic Arena?

 

[PlushMinus]

Could only watch extended highlights - team is playing out of this world!! Love it, they have already outlived my expectations - anything from here is bonus but let's keep it going! I'm sure they will

 

[marcel snapshot]

Imagine this team with even just an average PP.

 

[ChaosLord]

Ovechkin off to a torrid start, 4 goals in 6 games. Looks like he's determined to break the record this season.

You know, there's another record at stake here: most 50 goal seasons for a player. OV is currently tied with Mike Bossy and Wayne Gretzky at 9. Its a long shot, given his age, but not completely inconceivable.

Now now, let's not make the main board have an epic meltdown... Oh hell with it, go for it, Ovi!

 

[ovikovy817]

What a game. What a W.

Hope Chych isn't hurt badly.

Ovi

 

[zappa4ever]

Looked at Chych's 2 shifts
couldn't find anything re: getting hit or anything awkward, he handled the puck a few times, sent a clear...
odd

 

[max21]

Just rewatched the entire game, that was so sick

 

[RandyHolt]

LOL @ the Rangers lead punk bloodied trying to play the tough guy that NY needed vs Willy's ownership of the org a few years ago.
