Did Fever break JT Miller ?

 

[Eirikrautha]

PLD!

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

LFG

 

[Calicaps]

Felt that one coming. Dubois is so good.

 

[RedRocking]

PLD scores the so-called 1st goal. Nucks are none too pleased.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

they pissed off PLD, this was a good thing

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Dooooobie!

 

[kicksavedave]

PLD yes!

Also, f*** Rick Tocchet in his hiney!

 

[PlushMinus]

Yay a goal.

Hard pass on the McNuggets tho!

 

[Capsman]

Great hustle by Willy.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

PLD

 

[Neil Racki]

f*** yeah

Tom showing no fear with that dump and going full speed for the retrieval … most guys would be worried and ride in w the defender

 

[mad4comp]

PLD has been the best player for the team for the past few months.. just hasn't had the goal scoring luck. We need to clone him a couple more times.

 

[Blades Ov Steel]

Sherwood is one of those players you'd love on your team, pissing off opposing teams but easy to hate when he's not

 

[qc14]

Weird period but I actually liked our game for the most part. PLD continues to be great, actually really liked Eller's shifts as well.

Damn dude … I legit didn’t know they had seats that high and I’ve been second from the top before

You’re looking down on the big screen

 

[Canucks LB]

Canucks fan here, what in the world did you guys do to transform PLD into trying because he’s probably the best player on the ice in that first period.

He looks completely engaged, not from what I’ve seen in the past

He pissed me off when he immediately fell when Tom grabbed him by his neck in that scrum

 

[crab]

I thought the Dubois deal might turn out but never expected him to play this well.

 

[Nice]

GMBM needs a statue built

Y’all poked the Bear of simmering rage that is PLD

I forget what podcast I heard it on but someone pointed out that he had Tortorella, Maurice, Bowness, and McLellan as coaches in all his prior stops. Obviously all great coaches but all definitely hard-asses and Carbery is the first real "player's coach" he's had. I think it's some combination of that + natural maturing + a wake-up call after how awful last year was.

Been IMO their best player for the last two months now

 

[caps4cup]

Lady on SN intermission panel crying about Dubois pushing Hughes after the whistle calling it a completely unnecessary play. It’s hockey, grow up.

 

[crab]

If Dubois continue to play like this… imagine one day Leonard-Dubois-Wilson

I think the key has been the Caps coaching staff like his overall game and aren’t putting the world on his shoulders to just score.
