GDT: GM24: Caps @ Devils 7:00 PM

[SherVaughn30]

As shitty as the team construction was last year, I'll give GMBM credit for his moves in the off season, he very quickly built a very balanced and skilled team from what was available.

Chris Patrick is the GM now.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

That speaks to Caps culture, Carbery, or both.

He could become like Orpik for me. Go from a despised opponent to favorite quickly.

 

[SherVaughn30]

First in Metro, first in east, second only to wpg in the league

I like our team

The Hockey Guy will bump us up in his Power Rankings for sure with road wins against Panthers, Bolts and Devils!

Not bad for a team of frauds.

Important standings note: Pitt has won three straight, putting them comfortably outside both playoff contention and lottery position.

They’re only three points out of the wild card right now, and none of the teams in front of them — Rangers, Flyers, Bruins, and Sabres — inspire confidence. You figure the Rangers will figure it out and lock down one spot but that second spot is far from decided. Not hard to see Pittsburgh make noise if Jarry catches fire again.

Like Lindgren as a good locker room guy, but his starts need to be more designated towards weaker teams and let LT handle the better/top teams.

Yeah, but Pens have played more games than the other teams you have mentioned.

 

[um]

We are frauds

Shame on you!

 

[Lou Sassole]

What hustle by Dubois!

Couldn't be Dubois, I've been assured on the main boards that he's a selfish piece of shit, who doesn't love hockey or like his teammates. So it was probably AI or a group delusion, or maybe it was Mangiapane.

 

[SherVaughn30]

9-2 on the road now and 7 wins in a row!

1 point back of 1st overall Jets!

In Carbs we trust.
I’m sure he loves that we’ve scored 5, 5, and 6 the last 3 games - but he’ll get the boys focused on giving up 4, 4, and 5.

I don’t think that’s fair. Caps were handcuffed by the big contracts of Backstrom, Oshie and Kuznetsov.

I’m glad they didn’t do anything stupid for an attempt at a quick turnaround.

They’ve also played the most games.

Next 4 are tough games for them and will show us the truth.

Yeah, the speed of this team compared to the old aging core is significant.

Loved that hustle from PLD at the end of the game to negate that icing.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Couldn’t care a lick about Pen’is, Rags, or anyone else.

The team seems able to dictate their own path. That’s a huge thing.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt that way. Long long while
