GDT: GM45: Caps @ Sens - 7pm EST

[SecretaryofDefense5]

LT is going to have to start scoring goals soon too at this rate. He seems to be the only player good at his job right now.

 

[qc14]

This is what it was like last year. The “hope we don’t get scored on” strategy. No forecheck because we have to retreat to the NZ so early and easily.

Yea I get doing it last year because we didn't have the horses to keep up. This year we've already proven that we can do it, don't understand why we just stopped all of the sudden

 

[Gnome17]

Casual fan of Caps here, whats up with the offense last few games or weeks? Theyve scored some goals but feels like so much creativity and explosiveness is gone compared to the rest of the season, theyre shooting like 15 shots a game? Temporary you think or is there some issue?

 

[PlushMinus]

Thankfully the Sens powerplay is hilariously bad

(maybe I should post this when the penalty is over)

Don’t jinx this.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Sens have 3 PP's to 0 for the Caps? This is horse sh*t!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I knew this game would be boring against Ottawa.

Ovi, Strome, and McMichael have regressed hard and the tempo and pressure has been completely removed from their systems. The first part I understand but the second part I don't at all

 

[PlushMinus]

Carbs didn't look happy going down the tunnel - I bet he's going to give the team a f***ing wake up call

he should be well practiced at such a speech

 

[NoVaCapsFan]

Refs owe us one next period. Wilson FTW.

All top teams with good offense go through it. This is not like the NHL past where top offense teams are very consistent scoring goals.

Or could he be somewhat pissed at the officiating, because seems to be evident just from the stat sheet that it's one-sided.

 

[qc14]

SOG count the last 15 games:

26, 22, 22, 21, 11, 32, 27, 27, 31, 28, 28, 18, 17, 16, 25, 11 (through two periods)

More games under 20 than over 30. Not good enough. Would love for the Jack Adams frontrunner to make some structural changes in addition to the line shuffling.

 

[SherVaughn30]

NHL games are like the NFL, where you can easily make a call for penalty on both teams at separate times. No pro team is perfect in getting penalized for something.

 

[Capsman]

He wasn't even in the crease. WTF.

You can still get interference with the goalie outside the crease, the question is intention. There’s no way Strome intentionally ran him, it was totally incidental. Just a terrible call.

5 periods...I'll let you figure out what I'm mean.

I don't even have to watch a vid clip to know this is obvious bias towards a Canadien team, who is playing against one of the most famous Russian players in NHL history.

 

[PlushMinus]

Sigh - it is ridiculous to accuse the refs of bias. It is a figment of people's imagination.

These officials have made one or two bad calls. That is it, plain and simple. It happens.

 

[um]

These low shot games are boring, unless you’re Thompsons agent.

 

[HTFN]

what a f***ing wuss, that was all the lead up to a fight and then he just didn't toss them.

 

[marcel snapshot]

Thompson has been everything here.
Ha, Brady wanted no part of Willy

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Brady wanted absolutely no part of fighting Tom there.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Oh pulleeease let Wilson beat down Tkachuk……he was afraid to drop his gloves lol….

 

[RedRocking]

The Tkachuk boys never answer the bell. Weak.

 

[Capsman]

Sandin chose not to go after the puck and still got beaten back.

 

[SherVaughn30]

This Sens goalie is 5-2 and 2 shutouts to start his career...
