GM17: Lars SCWG Eller @ Vegas - 8pmish

[StrikingDistance]

Today I expect a strong win with an Ovi goal, Eller goal, and CMM hat trick. #unreasonableexpectations



ps I'm in the crowd under that tree by the street lamp. Completely sober w/ my gf soberly standing on an overflowing trashcan.

Vegas again?

Weird to have this season-set finished before we have faced some of our division opponents but whatever. 4 for 4 from Vegas would be great.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

LT revenge tour? Should be a good one!

 

[Random schmoe]

I randomly find myself from time to time looking up Bear Hughes' stats in the Vegas organization, because I still can't figure out for the life of me why he isn't at least an AHL regular. He only played 6 games all of last season - 5 in the ECHL, 1 in the AHL - and so far this year has played 10 in the ECHL with 13 points.

That is all. Go team.

Annoyed by the win loss win loss pattern

Let’s get a win streak going boys

 

[Holtbyisms]

Ovi goal from the office. Chychrun wrister top corner even strength. Vrana goal off a nice pass from Eller. 3-1 Caps.

Pro: Thompson will be motivated to get the W, hope everyone steps up and makes it happen

Con: VGK is 8-1 at home, and aren't we winless in Vegas outside of a certain batch of June 2018 games?

Pro: This is the m'f'ing 2024-25 Capitals! Bring it!

I also was in that crowd. I also was sober.

Only one of those statements is true.

I almost went to Vegas for game 5 because I was in Vancouver for work. Could t find anyone to join me so watched with a bunch of friends. Turned 50 at midnight after game. I was far from sober. In fact went off the grid for 5 days as a result of the two. Haha.

Tonight I'll be continuing my studies of "is this team actually really good or what?"

Would’ve been fun to be in that crowd… but I was busy being in the arena.

And I was sober…

Capitals about +110. That sounds about right. A win helps the case that Caps are a very good team. A loss doesn't necessarily hurt the case, at least not much.

I would not bet against the Capitals right now, even if I weren't a fan.

Is Vegas playing with only 11 forwards? and I was hoping to see Sammy in net

 

[DWGie26]

Glad to see Duhaime is in. Was looking to see any announcements on a player being recalled but nothing. Probably just a bruised ankle but that shit hurts!
