GDT: JERKS IN THE HEART OF THE ENEMY

Capitals

The storm god is pleased

 

[wgknestrick]

This team needs to find their offense and fast. I'm not sure how many 1 goal games Freddy has left in him.

Also the audacity to call a charging penalty against a Wilson hit.

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Getting ahead of myself but more just wondering how it works — if we met Edmonton in finals who would have home ice? They had 2 more points but we were 2nd in division they were 3rd. Of course we’ve already shown that our regular season road woes were overblown

 

[Rick Davis]

Incredible effort by Freddie in this series…so happy for him after the Rags series last season!

 

[Borsig]

That offside goal was key

Yup. This is easily a 6 or even 7 game series. Do NOT get complacent.

 

[hockey diva]

Congratulations y’all!

points afaik. We have home ice only against the panthers of remaining teams. Which did nothing for us in the ECF before

 

[hockeynjune]

This is what healthy , playoff ready Freddy is like.
I like it like that.

 

[skipnjump]

Great game by a team in a "retooling" year. My friend in DC is not happy.

 

[Chrispy]

The road to the Stanley Cup goes through I-440.

****.

We're never getting a Stanley Cup Finals this year!?

 

[tarheelhockey]

We wait a whole year and go through so much turmoil just for the feeling of seeing them smile in the handshake line

(worth it)

 

[HisIceness]

8 down

 

[Borsig]

also, this was not a pretty game for us.

Totally, lots of hugs for Wilson.

 

[wgknestrick]

We have to win at least 1 more game, right?

 

[tarheelhockey]

If we lose the ECF 4-1 it’s still progress!

 

[wgknestrick]

Hopefully the rest period is spent working on more passes for the 1PP unit, then taking that token point wrister from the corner of the zone.

We are all rooting for TOR, right?

And no one cares. Of course Washington was going to make huge pushes in the first and third; their season was on the line.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

also, this was not a pretty game for us.

We’re still doing the whole “completely different team at home vs. on the road” thing. Game 1 was an OT game, and Game 5 could’ve easily had the outcome flipped as well. So much of what we do well involves line matching. Especially tough when we’re fooling around with the D pairings as much as we did today too.

That said, if Freddie keeps this up we’re favorites against anyone. Question is whether he will.

Yeah but not out of fear of Florida, I think both teams would be equally tough challenges. I just want Florida knocked out and rooted against them in round 1 and even if we lost this series I’d be pulling for Toronto.

 

[hockeynjune]

I’m so glad we won tonight. I leave for a wedding in Charleston in the am . I would have been that guy trying to watch his phone during the ceremony .

 

[mikeyfan]

also, this was not a pretty game for us.

This was a beautiful game by us, We Won

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

I'M IN TEARS

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I certainly am. The last thing I want are major injuries to our guys.
