GDT: GM24: Caps @ Devils 7:00 PM

[SherVaughn30]

Chucky will probably give up another softy...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Cheech!

 

[RedRocking]

bow chicka wow wow

 

[SherVaughn30]

Chris Patrick, given Chychrun a new good contract right this minute!

 

[Brian23]

Man, I know they don't like signing people in season but Chychrun might need to be an exception. He's like the perfect guy to fill Carlson's role as he slows down.

 

[stephenball]

Does he just have the best wrist shot in the league or something?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Obviously I'm happy that they're lights out on the PP right now, but it does hurt a bit knowing how much better it looks without Ovechkin.

 

[max21]

sign that man

 

[SherVaughn30]

Does he just have the best wrist shot in the league or something?

Oh he can snap it good with accuracy!

 

[895]

Is it sacrilege to say the PP is better without the big man

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

How many PP goals has Stromes teeth assisted on now? Is that 3?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Chychrun and Oshie the type guys you always wanted with the Caps and then it happened. Reminds me of getting Iafrate in 91.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

Is it sacrilege to say the PP is better without the big man

I think it's just forced them to actually try new stuff

 

[Eirikrautha]

Man, I know they don't like signing people in season but Chychrun might need to be an exception. He's like the perfect guy to fill Carlson's role as he slows down.

YES! SIGN HIM! TOMORROW!

I've been banging the drum for the last couple years now, people love saying Ovi is just a PP merchant but he's probably close to a net negative to the PP now a days. The fact he doesn't move much, the puck is a grenade on his stick if he isn't shooting, basically turns it into a quarter ice 4v4. It makes it much easier for the PK to play and disrupt.

If they can keep that mentality once he's back... lethal.

 

[Monsterrain]

We’re gonna need two more goals. I dont think we can hold them off.

 

[Eirikrautha]

NJ really likes the cross-crease pass, right along the goal line. Looking for garbage and bounces, I guess, but so far we've been stopping it...

 

[twabby]

Chychrun's stock is only going up but even if you bake in the fact that he won't continue shooting lights out he's been such a positive impact in all situations. Back up the Brinks truck!

Is that - or that Chychrun is just better in Carlson’s usual spot? His shooting is insanely hot right now (and likely unsustainable). Little bit of both probably.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Nope. Love OV, but he doesn't have the mobility anymore to be a PP point man.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Thanks again Stromer for your sacrifice.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Not with Charlie Swiss Cheese in net!

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Whew, another great save by Lindgren.

 

[stephenball]

I mean, it doesn’t hurt that the PP looks better without Ovechkin, puts more credit to the thought that they’ll be able to do well in a few years when he hangs them up.
