GDT: GM36: Caps @ Wings 5:00PM EST

[Alexander the Gr8]

WTF is Chucky doing on that goal??

 

[qc14]

Call a f***ing time out. Truly embarrassing stuff. Not skating, not winning battles, not making passes, not doing f***ing anything

 

[SherVaughn30]

Man, OV reviving the 50 goal mark and Gretzky mark before this season is over! Sorry, but Lindgren is not playing his best.

 

[TRASHCAT]

I will say playing another game in under 24 hours is lame

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I blame the cursed song.

 

[RedRocking]

Strange to see Chuck just give up on a play like that.

Welp, at least we can root for more Ovi goals again in these trash games

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

The d in front of Chuckie has been a joke. You can’t be serious if you are blaming this on him. He has NO HELP.

I don’t think there has been one good read by any of our d-men.

Other teams have no problems and giving us fits... seems like a convenient excuse for the caps shitting the bed against another bottom cellar dweller.

He thought the puck would be backhanded. Sold out.

Draw me like one of your French girls.

When was the last time an opponent had an early game on the back end?

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

It’s pretty common actually.

 

[mad4comp]

Kings most recently and they gave us fits as well..

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I hope Carbs rips them a new one in between the periods. Back to back or not, this level of effort is unbecoming of a pro athlete.

 

[Capsman]

Lingren with the juicy rebound. He’s got to be close to being pulled.

What's lame is giving up four goals and all of the play to one of the worst teams in the league ...

 

[tycoonheart]

Let's get Ovi a hatty and call it a game.

 

[qc14]

They should pull him no matter what to try to get a reaction but especially after the fourth goal ...

 

[SherVaughn30]

For every NHL team these so many back2backs because of this dumb 4 nations joke tournament is affecting a lot of teams! I mean you don't even have a full 24 hours to recover. The players are not robots!

A certain amount of back2backs in a full season is one thing, but to have so many and we haven't even reached the halfway point of the season is just dumb scheduling for every team. I mean this is AHL level sheduling...

 

[qc14]

I'm sorry but complaining about the scheduling is some capital L Loser shit

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

So who is the new scapegoat with Lappy gone?

3rd line caved in lol…

We're one of the teams with the least amount of games played this season..

Well when we put on skates I'll keep that in mind

 

[SherVaughn30]

Sorry,

All fans for all teams have been complaining about it. Players want to play hard and give it there all, but if you have to play a game less than 24 hours later, you can't give it your all in the 2nd game. Frankly, I think the way the scheduling has been for many teams, the injuries have gone up more. I love hockey but the NHL has been valuing their profits more than the health of the players. I would hope the players union brings this up in next CBA.

Extremely. Even just from a preventing injury standpoint. I have same feeling about NFL guys playing Sunday and then Thursday. Money always trumps player health
