GDT: GM 47: Team Connor @ Team No-Connor - 9:08PM EST

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Oilers board calling the Caps “PDO Darlings” and saying their speed has exposed the Caps’ heavy game.

Are they wrong ?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

8 shots through half the game…TF.

Im convinced the casinos are cooking the shot stats. They took back about 5 already tonight.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

I called it. .75 shots here about five minutes into the third

 

[troyerlaw]

Chych with some of these TOs is legit young Dima with more elite offensive ability, but worse defensive zone play.

High-event player?

 

[Block]

Way too many games where they just aren't generating anything

See, I disagree, they're generating plenty, they're just not taking what's there when they do. I do think they need a coaching adjustment, but I think it needs to be, stop forcing passes. Instead, shoot and crash for the rebound.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I know I've been a broken record with this recently but I would love to see some sort of structural adjustment from the coaching staff. Way too many games where they just aren't generating anything

McMichael and Strome also need to get their heads out of their asses

Just a reminder we have maybe the top D and goalie this season so far. Dont panic as long as we keep getting Ws

 

[Devil Dancer]

CMM's shirt is so worn, I think it's older than he is.

The logo was half gone.

 

[DWGie26]

Can’t believe we are winning this game based on SOG. We are a confidently opportunistic team.

 

[um]

Are they wrong ?

So the Caps are good at finishing and have good goalies.

Fine by me.

 

[Block]

Are they wrong ?

That they've somehow exposed the Caps? Yes.

 

[um]

Interested to know what is going on with Strome. I thought McMichael has had a few good plays last few games but Strome has been…bad.

I miss BackStrome.

 

[DWGie26]

See, I disagree, they're generating plenty, they're just not taking what's there when they do. I do think they need a coaching adjustment, but I think it needs to be, stop forcing passes. Instead, shoot and crash for the rebound.

Part of it was unconscious competence at beginning of season. It was just coming to them in the moment. Now they are overthinking it a bit. That is where coaching art comes in.

 

[Calicaps]

“We’re winning wrong” is a new twist on hf doom. But yeah, would be nice to see 17 and 24 find their games again.

Oilers board calling the Caps “PDO Darlings” and saying their speed has exposed the Caps’ heavy game.

They've been whining about how the Caps are PDO pretenders for weeks before this game.

 

[Devil Dancer]

“We’re winning wrong” is a new twist on hf doom. But yeah, would be nice to see 17 and 24 find their games again.

Funny, I thought they were winning wrong early, when they were relying on an over performing offense and unsustainable contributions from CMM, Strome and Ovi.

Now they're winning with D and G, a couple of areas where they are elite, so this feels much more sustainable.

 

[RedRocking]

Doobie!!

 

[Calicaps]

Woo! Doobie!!

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

PLD has replaced Kuzy and then some.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Goal not good enough Loser hit a post.

3-1 good guys

 

[Pigskin]

stick that up your PDO

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Ovi ENG please.

 

[Calicaps]

Am I the only one who thought the non-call on the “trip” behind the Edm net was a good non-call? I thought the Oiler fell on his own.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

LT got a assist!

 

[stephenball]

Dubois has been an absolute monster recently on both sides of the ice. He’s been the best skater for the Caps I’d say for a while.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

That cant count?
