GM45: Caps @ Sens - 7pm EST

[qc14]

Would like to see McMichael back at 3c, he's a complete liability out there right now

 

[SherVaughn30]

A miracle. How ironic they call a penalty against the Sens oldest player on the team, former Flyer Claude Giroux!

 

[mad4comp]

Watching OV is quite painful at this point. Makes me cringe everytime he touches the puck, there's literally nothing there.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Feeling like Dubois is their best player at this point.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

I'm guessing that Leevi Merilainen is another virgin goalie whose net Ovie has yet to penetrate.

 

[HTFN]

Easy missed trip there on Ovechkin, seems like they won’t buy another call

 

[Pigskin]

thought i saw Ovi wince a minute ago

 

[Praetorian Caps]

Bloody hail, it just hit me this may go into overtime?

 

[SherVaughn30]

Please don't let that be true at all!

Crazy how good he was until he got injured. He has come back a completely different player. It's mind boggling

 

[HTFN]

It does seem like the team still works when they all get on their horses, they look instantly different now that end game is in sight and have done this before

It’s just not possible to do for 82 games

 

[qc14]

Send him back to Dubai!

 

[PlushMinus]

Was he watching a replay of himself on the big screen?

 

[troyerlaw]

Did Frank get benched? I see his TOI is only 6:50

He is. Would make Ovie all-time leader in # of goalies scored against

Perfectly normal for his age. OV was really humming with goals, then the intentional injury put on him. When he came back, he continued where he left off, but now maybe the adrenaline has died down. He's trying to get his game condition back up to level again, and for an age 39 player that could take a bit of time.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

This is a wild thought but maybe the Caps should play better so LT doesn’t have to be in god mode for them to win every game.

There is something else that could be here. Their goalie and LT are both playing hot, so hard to score on either goalie.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Carbery playing 3D chess by benching his fastest player against one of the faster teams in the league.

 

[HTFN]

Dubois is like power Kuznetsov with a lower ceiling but better floor right now

The way they lean on him for zone entries is identical and he’s really damn good at it

 

[qc14]

Much, much better third. PLD or Chychrun with the OT winner please, they both deserve one

Reminds me of a bigger version of mojo.

Raddysh only 30 seconds more, Eller gets the PK time. Entire third line didn't really play since they were looking for offense. Doesn't bother me

Not playing Frank in OT and against one of the faster teams in the league makes next to no sense.

 

[mad4comp]

Teams should be penalized if they enter the zone and leave without a shot on net in OT.

 

[qc14]

LFG!
