GDT: GM24: Caps @ Devils 7:00 PM

[BallardEra]

Caps should have been up after that period.

 

[tycoonheart]

Dominant period. Need more goals though.

 

[stephenball]

Pretty solid period. Great speed by Lapierre on the goal, he seems to be pretty much fully back, would love to see him get a goal to get that monkey off his back.

Chucky has such poor positioning sometimes. He gives up a lot of goals where if he was square to the shooter he would have stood a chance. No way should he have been so far off his angle there was that much room to his right.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

Ref with the dirty hit

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Put Miro in the top six. Raddysh makes my head hurt.

Deflections tend to do that to goalies, turns out there’s a reason to try to get them

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Chuckie did something positive

Deflections happen and they're a great way to score but he also wasn't square to the initial shooter. He was cheating way over to his left which is why he didn't even have a chance at making the save. Had he been squared up to the shooter the deflection probably goes into his pads not into the foot wide gap between his pads and the post.

Locker: "Ridley played close to 608 seasons with the Caps"

Now THAT'S impressive

 

[twabby]

Strome ain't pretty no more


Again

 

[PlushMinus]

Why the f*** do the idiots in the crowd boo? It's clearly a stick to the face with blood. Duhh

 

[twabby]

This is officially my Critical Moment of the Game

 

[Calicaps]

Stromer's face can't catch a break. OUCH

 

[twabby]

This is officially my Critical Moment of the Game

Criticality identified and executed. Well done!

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Another tic-tac-goal!

CMM recovered from the ref's interference and hand to the face.

 

[Calicaps]

Excellent. One of the really noticable features of this year's squad is that they don't squander critical opportunities the way they did in the past.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Strome ain't pretty no more


Again

Broken tooth poked through his bottom lip. Ouch.

My thoughts exactly, but I also add he was trying to catch that puck with his glove instead of staying square to the shot and trapping it in his chest/glove. The modern butterfly technique is designed for deflections like that if your angle/square to the shot is correct.

 

[twabby]

Is there a better shooter right now? Wow!

 

[Empty Goal Net]

JC6 is heating up.

 

[Langway]

Filthy filthy #6.

 

[mad4comp]

Better keep Chick-run for the long run.

 

[Calicaps]

Chychrun again!
