[Ovechkins Wodka]

Damn CMM is flying. We should be up like 4-1

Crazy to be a fast team after the last few seasons

 

[PlushMinus]

Holy...how many times has McMichael been one on one against Saros tonight? 3 or 4??

 

[mad4comp]

Caps are getting dismantled in the puck possession game and struggling against a fast forecheck.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

McMichael turning into the stud from Jr. hockey.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Caps are still playing well I think. The third line though still seems to be an area that needs improvement.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

not really liking what Sonny has shown in his games back in

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

Wanna see Ovechkin score 50-60 goals this year

The 3rd line has been their best line tonight.

 

[mad4comp]

man wtf has gotten into Protas and MCM... they are just brilliant this year.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Pro is a beast.

The 3rd line has been their best line tonight.

Disagree completely.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Big Pro!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Was looking at Protas and McMichael anytime goal. Didn’t have the balls

 

[RedRocking]

Love that move from Pro. Using that big reach!

 

[mad4comp]

That is pretty much guaranteed against the caps for the past 5 or so years.. score and then get scored on.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Sick pass Ovi…

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Womp womp

 

[PlushMinus]

Well that's NOT how you hold onto a lead!

 

[wickedwitch]

Disagree completely.

Why? They've had a ton of zone time. Look at the SoG.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I like watching drafted talent play with Caps.

 

[PlushMinus]

Can they get a new promo? this mcnugget minute is garbage

Why? They've had a ton of zone time. Look at the SoG.

Wow you're right - I was surprised but 3rd line has 9 shots on goal.

Also interesting Carlson less ice time than Sandin and Roy. I am glad they are giving him a rest

 

[BallardEra]

I hate the fact that the Preds are still hanging around.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Different motivations though - the Preds need to be playing with urgency and desperation. They are completely underwhelming (so far this season).

Caps have been okay in this game - Saros has made some really good saves and it could easily be 4-1 Caps at this stage.

I know the circumstances, I just worry about them getting too comfortable early in the season. I’ve seen the chances for us, simply hoping puck management doesn’t slip.

 

[qc14]

Weird period where they alternated dominating vs getting smoked every shift. Another great goal from Alexei "Tage Thompson" Protas

 

[crab]

Not sure what game some people are watching but Caps have controlled play overall.

McMichael has looked amazing. Mangiapane has looked solid tonight

 

[tycoonheart]

Dowd has been brutal tonight
