more Ovie goals please, rest is icing on the cake

Just dropping in to say that the team chemistry on this team rivals the Cup winning team. It honestly may be even better. Will they win the cup? No idea, but that locker room looks like they're havin the time of their lives. I still can't believe how this season has come together like this. It's honestly been more surprising to me than the Skins with Jayden. Let's keep it rollin!

Sounds like Lindgren is in net. Not a fan of the decision as LT is the clear starter but alrighty then.

Maybe LT is under the weather? Only other possibility is that they plan to go back to alternating starts. LT would get Calgary and Winnipeg.

I think they told Lindgren that LT was gonna get the next start because of his SO twice in a row so they can’t not give Lindgren the next start since he got a SO too

Nucks have 4 wins in their last 17 games...but have beat the Oil and Leafs.

Chucky in net because SC wants LT to play at his home town.

I think the law of averages say that the Caps are due for a loss tonight.

 

[tycoonheart]

Confusing thread title. We don't do PST around here.

 

[Silky mitts]

We play the Oilers McDavid is out with a suspension.
We play the Nucks, half their players think they were in a potential deal with Carolina and could be traded any minute.

This ain’t dice.

Overconfidence, underestimating opponents, new injuries/problems, etc. are human things.

Also. 4-2 Caps

Ain’t no party like an RE party. IFKYK.

Thompson grew up near Calgary and has family/friends, skipping a start also gives him a likely head to head against Hellebuyck, plus it rewards Chucky's SO. Carbery likely discussed it with the goalies based on the Hockey News info.

It's fine, Chucky is a good goalie who carried this team last year, let's give him a chance.

Plus I don't want to burn out LT, they're going to need him on top his game for the playoffs.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Chucky stinker 5-3 Nucks. Ovi hatty so nobody cares.

Carbs talks about the decision during the pre-game interview on the Caps site.

This makes tons of sense. Thanks for sharing. Two birds, one stone. Reward Chucky and let Thompson play in Calgary. Love it!

Chuckie was fantastic last game but he has had a hard time stringing good games together so I think he lets a few soft ones tonight.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Like the start. Engaged, not 3rd gear and assuming that's good enough. See how it goes.

 

[DWGie26]

Can we go live please? Let the late night crew roll

 

[tycoonheart]

They're playing great.
