GDT: GM#7: Caps @ Lits - 7:08pm

[PlushMinus]

I am amazed at how much faster the team is this year. It makes them so much more enjoyable to watch and way more dangerous.

 

[Calicaps]

Now would be a good time for the PP to find its way.

Terrible pass by Carlson.

 

[PlushMinus]

Yeah the PP is appalling.

Stubbornly remaining loyal to Carlson on PP1 is not the way forward. Move him to PP2. It would also help by bringing down his ice time and provide some rest.

 

[Capsman]

I really feel like OV is a problem in terms of setting up on the PP. Pretty much forces us to play on the right side of the ice, because not much good comes when he gets the puck for anything but a one-timer.

We also miss Oshie in the bumper spot as a relief valve from opponent pressure. We don’t seem to be using that much in the setup.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Everything is humming except for the PP. it will get there.

 

[tycoonheart]

Feel like Protas would be a stud if he has a better shot.

 

[Langway]

Ovechkin increasingly statuesque overall. Understandable but it really stands out in a crisp game like this.

I am glad somebody else is prepared to say it. I've been thinking exactly the same thing.

 

[stephenball]

It seems like teams have adjusted to the Caps PP and know a strong way to defend it is to pressure the side Ovechkin is not on.

 

[RedRocking]

PLD should be taking that shot more often on the PP

We need lots of guys shooting more on the advantage.

Sandin feeling it. A little risky, but confidence is good.

 

[stephenball]

Vasi looks to be made of Velcro so far tonight.

Some slick moves there from Sandin

Sandin taking a page out of Chychrun’s book

 

[Calicaps]

Meh. Chuckie never saw it.

 

[PlushMinus]

Nobody wants to challenge for goalie interference cos they know it's a f***ing dice roll anyway

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Yuck

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

It was a tip. Lucky he keep his stick under the cross bar and it counted.

 

[Langway]

Tough start for the JCs thus far.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Dowd skating in molasses.

 

[Calicaps]

Ovie's vision is still amazing.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

McIlrath has looked better than I expected

 

[tycoonheart]

Just unlucky so far.

 

[CapsSkins]

Ugh tough break for PLD

 

[NoVaCapsFan]

PLD rings the post. Once he catches a break he will be even more

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I really want to see an Ovi goal off a shot and with a goaltender in net.
