GDT: GM34: Caps @ Bruins 7:00PM EST

[Empty Goal Net]

I'm seeing that the Caps have 12, so it looks like a tie.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Maybe the worst period of the season. And we lost this one pregame. Sorry Coach

 

[DWGie26]

McIlrath with zero shifts in the third. He must've gotten injured, right? If not, they basically willingly played a man down the entire game by deciding to dress him...

Why put him in if top 6 are who you are leaning on.

 

[pman25]

A lot of us don’t like working two days before Christmas, take the rest and maybe Ovi is back Saturday

 

[Langway]

Snoozer. Lost it on the major.

Outside of a few reliable forwards (21/80/24, which probably shouldn't be loaded up on one line minus 8, and lately Vrana) there have been some passengers lately. Strome needs Ovechkin back most of all.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Keep shit talking Lindholm….give us that fuel to tune your ass up next game.

 

[hb13xchamps]

Lindholm is looking to get abused on NYE. Really, really dumb on his part. Dude has the body of a 12 year old

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Carbs could have made some better line up decisions me thinks.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Depleted lineup….forget it and move on.

Depleted how? Because Carbery willingly played a 7th defender for absolutely no reason than to give him an attaboy game?

 

[Capsman]

We looked really slow tonight in my view. Shades of last season. When we got the major I had a feeling that would give Boston momentum.

I can’t wait until the next Caps Boston game. Send Lindholm through the boards.

 

[tycoonheart]

Strome is struggling without Ovi and Protas.

 

[PlushMinus]

Apologies for being a grumpy bastard. It is almost Xmas and I can be a grinch at times.

All the best to everybody here for the holidays. Merry Xmas see you in the New Year!!

Strome is struggling without Ovi and Protas.

He’s been awful for the last few weeks. Turning way too many pucks over and trying to be way too cute. The points binge he had early in the season clearly went to his head. He needs to keep things simple.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Strome is struggling without Ovi and Protas.

Agree, the difference in production and effectiveness is visible. Ovi was clearly the one driving the bus on the top line before he went down.

 

[pman25]

they seemed pretty gassed from the start and Carbery for some reason decided to handicap them with further with 11F

 

[notDkristich]

my GDT win streak obviously needed some adversity before the playoffs.

at least my lower respiratory infection is better. maybe i will get sleep tonight!

 

[DWGie26]

Carbs could have made some better line up decisions me thinks.

We just don’t fully know what is going on in room. Maybe sick. Maybe some guys banged up. Regardless we get a break and probably have at least one new guy coming in. Maybe two. That will balance ines up a bit.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Why did Miro o play just above 5 minutes? If you have a tired team, play the full roster.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

lol Alexa and May getting into it postgame lol….

yes, concur. this is a game where you develop rather than ride tired legs because the "win the right way". rookie...cough, 2nd year coaching mistake.

Versus? None of us know what’s going on, who is sick, hurt, untrusted….

should be obvious with the time on ice

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

should be obvious with the time on ice

Yep, just don’t know which reason or reasons…

 

[notDkristich]

i see what you meant now. sadly, tactics went out the window. should have dressed 12 F and just rolled four lines. Somewhere out there, Barry Trotz agrees.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

lol Alexa and May getting into it postgame lol….

What are they talking about? lol
