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

[SherVaughn30]

The way I see it, this game is a stinker minus OV goal, just like against Bruins who don't score a lot of goals. Wings probably still mad we snuck into the playoffs last season and they didn't.

 

[DWGie26]

Good news is I’ll be at the Boston game in a couple of days. They should be sufficiently tuned up and motivated by then.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Lots of jokes about lappy and who will be the new whipping boy but I think this is yet another data point in favor of the third line not being fixed just by taking him out ...

Eller, when we traded for him, brought some needed stability. He's just came back from illness. You think long term HL would hold up? I say he wouldn't because he's not fully there yet.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

No excuses for this one. They didn’t show up.

Onwards I guess.

Ducks beat the Oilers in regulation 5-3, and Habs right now up 2-1 on the Bolts!

 

[troyerlaw]

Ovi arguing with Jake on bench. I remember he used to do same with Bura and Kuz occasionally

 

[marcel snapshot]

Well, at least it stopped getting worse.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Anyone a lip reader for what Ovi was yelling at Jake?

 

[Holtbyisms]

What a terrible f***ing day of hockey. Ugh.

 

[troyerlaw]

Well, at least it stopped getting worse.

Yes!

 

[SherVaughn30]

Now 3-2 Habs in Tampon Bay. Sabres beat Blues 4-2. Parity is more so now than in any NHL season before. Earlier in the season the back2backs were easier to play, but as the season has progressed and we are nearing the halfway point, the 2nd game of back2backs gets harder to play, no matter who the opponent is and especially on the road.

Everyone has to do it. No excuses.

No I totally think Eller > Lappy at this point in time. I think they need an upgrade over Vrana as well

May is better than Locker at color commentary. Not a high bar, I know, but it's a noticeable difference

Delete this ...

 

[mad4comp]

Vrana is pretty much useless at this point.

 

[troyerlaw]

Great shift. 4-2

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Pity goal!

 

[Neil Racki]

Dowd on a heater right now

Done

 

[stephenball]

Locker is a bit of a clown, but I think May is boring as hell. Give me the clown any day.

 

[qc14]

Done

Sorry that was meant in a joking "I can't believe you don't like Locker" way

 

[Capsman]

Carbery seems to have a fundamental problem with pulling the goalie early. Maybe confident in their ability to score 5x5?

 

[mad4comp]

Well loser mentality kicks in and and they lose to another bottom dweller.

 

[Capsman]

Everybody trying to pick corners rather than just getting it on net.
