GDT: Capitals @ Rangers: Big City Greens Edition | 3/14/23 | 7:00p ET

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Damn, that’s some rough injury news for the hurricanes that pretty much tanks their playoff chances I think

 

[twabby]

I’m still rooting for wins I think?

FWIW Hockeyviz has them at 16% to make the playoffs. That number. Can go up to something like 25% with a win tonight and some luck on the out of town scoreboard.

I will never forgive the abomination that was the call of Ovie's 800th.

My firm belief is the ESPN contract will hurt the NHL worse than help.

PROTASSSSSSSSS!

“The chicken ref,” said director Jeff Nelson of ESPN. “Once he drops the puck, he poofs away and appears again when there’s a faceoff.”

Don’t expect any Wes McCauley-style penalty announcements. At least, not the kind you might expect. From Wyshynski:

It was already determined the chicken would also sound like a chicken. For example, if there’s a controversial penalty during the game, the virtual announcers would have the ability to interview the chicken ref, who will justify its call with impassioned bocking, clucking and other fowl noises.

Oh im going to need some beer in the metaverse, this is fun

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Oh im going to need some beer in the metaverse, this is fun

If it’s anything like the alternate universe in Everything, Everywhere, All the Time, it’s a hard pass from me.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I think i need both feeds

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Man this lineup is a “oh no we suck again” gif in Tweet form.

 

[Langway]

Oh shit the zoo is loose.

 

[usiel]

Not good coverage there.

Sandin gave him too much space.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

More excitement by ESPN for Tarasenko than for Ovy's 800th.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Z always a Caps Killer

 

[RedRocking]

Man this lineup is a “oh no we suck again” gif in Tweet form.

These lines are quiet quitting the playoff race.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

One thing about Caps being bad they won't get as many games on primetime next year, I hope. This is a very bad broadcast.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Shesterkin will be challenged to stay awake.

IDK Ovie sells. Lebron still on TV every night when the Lakers suck

 

[shtorm2005]

lol at this disney's game simulation

Considering they're putting it in a walled garden, yeah. Going on Amazon and getting broadcast on twitch or going to youtube would have been huge for them.

 

[swansonsays]

We started with the Greens broadcast and a couple of minutes in she said it was stupid. A couple of minutes later she asked to switch back. My 12 year old knows how terrible this ESPN broadcast is.

 

[Langway]

These mofos are slow.
