Keys to the game brought to you by some chump from New Zealand.

Tampa Bay

Don't take stupid penalties (I'm looking at you Gudas, Killorn and Panik)
Don't let Ovy take one-timers for the entire duration of the Capitals powerplays
Give the puck to Kucherov and Palat

Washington

Fire rubber at Lindback all night.
Draw penalties and give Ovy the puck

As long as we don't leave Ovechkin wide open like last time we should be fine.

 

[CarpeNoctem]

8-3 Caps. Ovechkin and Bondra each post a hat trick.

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

It would be swell if the Lightning were to score more goals than they allow the Capitals to score against them in the contest of hockey taking place this eve.

I see a grand day in lightning hockey Boston loses toronto loses detroit loses.

Lightning tied for first place yep yep yep

We win We win We win.

4-2.

 

[FDfranklin]

Uhhhhhhh all we have to do is take zero penalties and we win.

Killorn gets a high-stick penalty in the first 2 minutes Ovi scores and sets the tone for the night.

Our next two games are going to be tough. Ovi is going to light Ders up and the Flyers have been playing some great hockey.

 

[Outl4w]

Hopefully we can pull off of a win! The kids are playing some great hockey.

 

[Steve Yzerman]

Is Bishop back?

 

[Fred89]

Is Bishop back?

Won't play until next week.. At least according to latest reports..

 

[AlphaCatalyst]

Is Bishop back?

So it is true, you being the GM of Canada has affected your job as GM of the Lightning.

Sounds creepily accurate .

You probably nailed that one.

What's the deal with never reporting what the actual injury is and being super quiet about when they will return?

Just reported it's a sprained wrist. He's on IR. Eligible to come back next Tuesday. In related news, I need a beer run before tonight's game.

[Coopers Gum]

Dunno if I'll be able to watch this one unfortunately.

I'm expecting a loss though. Maybe not if we play some kind of defense on Ovechkin this time around.

 

[Ricebox]

Ovechkin on the Ice and Lindback in net?

JT Brown (shoulder) sits out tonight against the Caps. Pyatt back in. Looks like Panik is scratched.

[The Macho King]

Shut er down.

 

[DFC]

Pressure's on Lindback. Big night for him, yet again. Although he's such a roller coaster that I'm not sure if any performance he might give will give me hope at this point.

 

[NHLeitner]

In related news, I need a beer run before tonight's game.

Me too!

Between Lindback's "Having an epileptic seizure" technique and Holtby hot off the heels of a sterling 0.545 save% in his last game, this has the probability of becoming an embarrassing arms race of a shootout.

Need the beer to prepare me for that eventuality.

And I hate the Capitals. So much. So ****ing much.

Bolts win 7-5

 

[NHLeitner]

Also, thank you Days for making these truly great GDT. I always enjoy them, and today I even learned something.

Barberio: 0/4/4 in 26 GP
Cote: 0/3/3 in 9 GP

I seem to recall Stevie Y saying he was comfortable passing on Seth Jones because of the development of one of these guys as an offensive defenseman, I just can't remember which one it was.......

 

[Silver Tuna]

Someone tweet cooper and tell him ovechkin likes to shoot.

Honestly though, if I have to sit and watch what I seen last time I will lose my mind.
