GDT: GM#4: Caps @ Devs - 7:08pm

[Devil Dancer]

The Strome acquisition and contract are just absurd. They're paying $5m for a low end 1C.

 

[Kalopsia]

Devils fans in their GDT are talking about implementing something like basketball's half court rule for OT, lol.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Was just over there reading their thread. Icing on the cake.

It's absurd, especially as he may level up into a mid-range 1C this season.

 

[max21]

Remember beating the devils 8 times in a row in the Covid season lol

 

[SherVaughn30]

They called Charlie Lindgren by the wrong name for the majority of the last season. Every article I read he was “Jesper” Lindgren or something like that. Joke of a network.

Chicken Parm Ray Ferraro would always say Jim Dowd! LOL

We did that with Sammy and Vanecek in net! LOL

Man, that 2nd line has been so good you don't want to touch it but Lapierre is killing his line. Really think pivoting to CMM to 3C, Milano or Miro to LW, and Lapierre to the bench is going to be the way to go, unless they just want him to play through it.

Just not worth it. Lappy is a pro now so he is going to need to figure it out. Contract year for him too!

 

[notDkristich]

Hockey is fun again. Lappie is fine

 

[wickedwitch]

If anyone on that line is getting replaced, it's going to be Vrana. But I think they're all fine.

McIlrath though, I wonder how desperately they want to keep the L-R pairings or if we see Alexeyev next game.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Wait until Roy comes back. I think he’s going to be well worth his contract.

7 minutes TOI. Didn't see a single minute on the PK despite two different minor penalties to defensemen (one to Sandin, one to Chychrun).

The only problem is who shifts right? I don't see Fehervary - AA working very well, and I don't think you want to break up either Sandin - TvR or Chychrun - Carlson. My guess is they'll continue to shelter McIlrath until Roy is healthy.

 

[CapsSkins]

You want McIlrath to get sheltered minutes in October in case he has to play real minutes in May

 

[Corby78]

4-3 winner with MCM scoring in OT

I wasn’t that far off. Good game boys

 

[DWGie26]

This is why you need 8 Dee. going to be some injuries. Mac is fine but Roy makes that top 6 a lot better.

A bit surprised they haven’t put Roy on IR but clearly they don’t want to bring anyone up from Hershey yet. Think org wants both teams to settle in for a good stretch.

 

[WanderingCapsFan]

Well, that was entertaining.

 

[ChaosLord]

There's a ream in Utah now? Quietest expansion ever.

 

[stephenball]

Mark me down as not worried about Lapierre, he’s going to be fine.

Second line was fantastic. Its a shame PLD didn’t actually get on the score sheet, he helped make a few of those goals happen, good game from him.

Does anyone else feel like Chychrun is always on the ice?

 

[PlushMinus]

I am not sure how you missed that, but the Phoenix Coyotes relocated. Not an expansion.

damn that’s some serious athleticism. Throws the table without dropping her purse, then seamlessly transfers it to her right hand as she catches a folding chair left handed. All while displaying some impressive footwork for a woman of her.. carriage

There's a ream in Utah now? Quietest expansion ever.

I have some bad news about the Nordiques

 

[Pigskin]

what a great start to the season

considering the opposition, and our goal scoring, its very entertaining thus far

would seem a good time to have a back to back against the flyers, and playing the pens can't come soon enough

side note, sign and trade for more players in a contract year ... even if they don't stick

 

[Marshall]

Trying to remember the last time the Caps outscored their mistakes.

2018?
