GDT: Washington Jumbo Slices vs Detroit Little Caesars - 7:08pm EST

I am. They can skate between their legs and sneak away while the Redwoods comically reach down to try to nab them but are way too slow to do so.

Like hobbits vs ents?

As a heads up, the Redwoods have been broken up for this game. They weren't all that effective anyway, very leaky defensively, apart from the handful of shifts they've dominated. Sundqvist is out injured, Rasmussen is between Zadina and Kubalik, and Soderblom is with Copp and Erne.

Good to know

If you are the big tree
We are the small axe
Ready to chop you down

would love to see Orlov deliver some open-ice hits and flip 'em over

Yeah that'd be juicy

Orlov's mastery of the hip check is one of the great overlooked NHL skills.

Hathaway really likes hitting those posts on empty nets

too soon!

Know what? I'll even go as far as saying that Orlov is the CalleJo of this generation of Caps. And I was a big detractor early in his career - he shut me up proper.

 

[Neil Racki]

Just tuning in … half way done the 1st already?

Let’s go caps!!

I think Jensen is the better comparison. Calle could skate and was solid but not flashy.

Orlov can go full length of the ice sometimes

Nice back check mantha … seemed to be coasting and not showing enough emergency there but he got the stick lift

Jensen is the best dman on this team. Prove me wrong.

I have him a sliver over Orlov right now to be quite honest. Jensen has been excellent.

Young bob marley reference … I love it back when church gospel was still a big influence on him

 

[twabby]

CMM with the great play to earn a quarter of a goal

 

[HeyMattyB]

Hey, he did something!

 

[Capsman]

Attaboy Connor!

 

[Neil Racki]

Good job making the best of that situation mcmichael

Weak call but a slash from behind in a high opportunity situation gets called

 

[Hivemind]

I'm pretty sure putting the Capitals powerplay on the ice is grounds to be benched.

 

[The Instigator]

Atta boy McMike!

MoJo… are you serious. Shoot the f***ing puck.

 

[tycoonheart]

Just joined. What I miss

 

[Neil Racki]

Ehhh I didn’t mind it, the pass and play was there to be had .. wasnt a forced pass

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

PP < 0

Yeah but they haven't been connecting on those. Make the goalie work. Put rubber on net and get rebounds instead of thinking everything has to be a clean shot on an empty net.

 

[Neil Racki]

Dowd … ya gotta bump a bit there just for too much

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Ehhh I didn’t mind it, the pass and play was there to be had .. wasnt a forced pass

The net was wide open. He had half the net staring at him. If he gets any wood on the shot at all it’s in the net.
