GDT: Rock the Red vs Redwings 7pm

And where are you gonna put Protas? 2nd line you don't mess with at all!

Protas has not worked with that line all season. It just hasn’t galvanized.

He has worked much better with Dubois and Wilson

What you put CMM with OV/Strome?

That’s the issue. I don’t think anyone has worked with them which is why I was hoping at the deadline they would find someone. I would try Frank at this point for a bit.

Not true. Pre-Ovi injury it was just fine.

 

[SherVaughn30]

There's nothing "unlucky" about being dominated in possession. These low shot count periods are a symptom of a problem that will be exposed in the playoffs.

Disagree. I take it you don't follow the rest of league too well. There are a lot of other teams/games where the shot counts are on the lower side than what they could be. More teams are emphasizing shot quality over shot quantity.

While Frank has exceptional speed and some scoring touch, no way you just put him on a line with OV/Strome! At the NHL level, Frank should not playing higher than on the 3rd line. OV will draw the opponents top D paring, where Frank would to be too challenged to be effective.

No. He has produced much more work Dubois and Wilson. This isn’t my opinion.

So you keep forcing a combo that doesn’t work?

I think using the word forcing is a wrong way to get your point across or prove something. You have to look at it from the coaching staffs point of view. Carbs puts these lines together with match-ups in mind against the Wings roster. No coach will get all the lines going in perfect order. We know Carbs will make adjustments as the game plays out.

Protas back with Dubois now.

Most Gordie Howe's.... Dale Hunter

Eller is so frustrating, great hockey sense, smart player. Zero ability to finish

My pick also.

expect the biggest goal in caps history

Eller had a good offensive stretch for the Pens earlier in the season, but you have to remember the Pens play offense very aggressively while not being a good team defensively.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Since the shots were 10-4 Wings, Caps have outshot the Wings 11-2.

 

[GoCaps2004]

He didn’t have a goalie to hit in the crest on that one LOL

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Lars come on man

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Chychrun showing off.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Now that's a dirty play.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Kill this to start the third, get it tied (at the least) and finish it.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Not watching. No PP's for the Caps yet. Non call stuff as usual? I don't believe any team should go penalty free in a game...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

 

[TRASHCAT]

If hes a one trick pony its a helluva trick
