GDT: GM37 Caps v Bruins

[qc14]

Love the fight from Mangiapane and McMichael

Roy having a tough one today

 

[Melkor]

It all started with a brainfart by Roy behind the net, I don't know what he was thinking there.

Surprised Fever isn’t back.

Past few games, outside of the 1st period in Detroit, I thought we’ve been positionally sound but the d-zone sloppiness has been an issue. Surprisng given the stability in the pairings.

Another issue …another screwed up odd man. I wonder if all the back to backs limiting practice time is a factor.

Logan Thompson with a stout performance in net earns today's game puck. Only 1GA on a fluke bounce.

PLD gets the only HM.

They're just not good at it.. they need to stop passing the puck on 2 on 1's and 3 on 1's. Just shoot. Every other team can do it, but ours cant.

 

[Melkor]

Usually I don't like right hand catching goaltenders but Thompson gives off a trustworthy vibe. He should be a starter.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

2pts….and revenge….

 

[stephenball]

Honestly if we score 2 goals in a game where Thompson is starting I have faith that we can win.

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

Nice way to end 2024. Hopefully 2025 has a few special moments in store for the Caps. I’ll take Ovi breaking the record and a Stanley Cup, nothing too big.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Slim margin win, but good to see we could limit them to only 1 goal. CMM is due for another hot streak soon.

 

[msrulo]

Logan was unbelievable, really close game.

 

[stephenball]

I was already not rooting for Canada at the tourney, but now I hope even more that they falter and shitty goaltending is the reason.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Protas is a stud.

under 5.5. hits again

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Would love to see the offensive production return but winning gritty is good (as long as they get the 2 pts!) training for post season work. Go get the Wild, boys.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Logan won that game. The rest of the team was not great. Onward.

 

[tycoonheart]

Didn't think they were very good today. Offense has definitely dried up. A lot of their offensive success early on came from high energy and effort and that has been severely lacking recently. Also way too many turnovers by our defense today.

 

[Langway]

Pay that man his money.

 

[max21]

That game was pretty boring ngl now I’m going to have a margarita

 

[SherVaughn30]

LT now 15-2-2, 2.30 GAA, .918 SV%

Becoming a top 5 goalie in the league.

 

[BobRouse]

3 games in less than 4 nights and a bit sluggish but 82 game seasons make it hard to play all out every game anyhow.

 

[philip]

It's really important we tie Chychrun down for the foreseeable, he fits this team like a glove. It's rare to find such a perfect fit.

Correct. Get cracking GMCP.

The offense drying up was predictable, we had an unsustainably high shooting % to start the season. This team’s identity last year was to win low scoring games consistently.

If we can keep the opposition down to 1-2 goals against, I think we should have no trouble scoring 3 or 4 most nights. My biggest concern is giving up the first goal of the game all the time.
