GDT: Preseason: Caps @ NJ 7pm ET (Vrana's Last Stand)

[Capsman]

I’ve liked Varna’s play tonight. He’s got some skill you can’t always teach.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Jake the Snake with a beautiful backhand pass to start that.

 

[Neil Racki]

Nice … that was like a basketball give n go

—/—//-/

Anyone else’s volume going up and down?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Jake the Snake with a beautiful backhand pass to start that.

Yeah I dunno about beautiful…other than the goal and the give and go move.

 

[pman25]

Shoot this Vrana-Sgarbossa-Limoges line is really nice. Lots of quick one touch passes and give and gos. They look good together.

Mangiapane is easy to root for, like his game

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Does 1 secondary assist = significant Carbs?

I liked Jake’s earlier shot. Reminded me of Vrana of old…

 

[Misery74]

Vrana looks like an NHL player. Here, or somewhere else.

Vrana looks like an NHL player. Here, or somewhere else.

By FAR the best he’s looked.

Stromer!!

 

[Calicaps]

Who are these guys? (Listening on the radio, but sounds really good!)

 

[pman25]

Duhaime line good, liking most of the combos tonight.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I like the 22 car….

 

[tycoonheart]

Man this group has look great tonight.

 

[Pigskin]

Caps looking pretty dam good this period, certainly carrying the play

and now getting rewarded on the scoreboard

 

[Neil Racki]

Whaaaaaa?

Save this mojo for the regular season boys

 

[pman25]

Haven’t seen much of the Trineyev line especially after a horrendous turnover but most of the other lines and d-pairs can’t complain too much.

Chyrhcun-Carlson are ironing some things out but you can see the flashes there. Think Carbs has what he was trying to go for last year when he started out with Sandin-Carlson.

 

[usiel]

Intensity of the Caps have really picked up this period.

Vrana having a solid game.

4th line is looking good and set.

 

[Langway]

That fourth line is definitely locked in place. Not sure I buy the top two lines staying together too long, though. We'll see. It leaves a pretty hodge-podge third line if so...Milano-Lapierre-Protas I guess (at least as the favorite).

 

[Calicaps]

If Jake earns a spot, this lineup gets crowded fast. Don't want kids playing in Hershey if they're really ready for the big club.

 

[usiel]

I approve BB's Joe Hadeed carpet cleaning commercial.

 

[qc14]

Man where would this team be without Strome ...

And Carlson I would say is one of the most underrated players of the last decade -- even more so than Backstrom -- and should be a HoF when he retires

 

[usiel]

Refs have decided a no PP game. Obviously have plans to hit the casinos tonight.

Spoke to soon and jinxed the Caps.

 

[Pigskin]

Thompson has looked sharp ... such a cheap combo with Chucky

wish it was for more than one year

 

[HTFN]

Sgarbossa receiving a pass that blew the entire end of his stick off and just standing there like "uhhhh, now what?" made my night

 

[usiel]

Initiate homer calls in the 3rd period.
