GDT: G70: Blues @ Capitals | 3/17/23 | 7:00p ET

Sandin working on a -8 in the past eight plus periods. That seems bad.

He's young enough to mature and a good coach can fix it.

 

[usiel]

Dope assist by AA.

 

[shtorm2005]

lol Vrana passed Sandin like he was not moving at all.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Man if only Peake hadn't had that injury. I was really excited about that guy becoming a Caps star.

 

[shtorm2005]

Blues are so bad, can't even get a shutout on Caps.

 

[McVechkin]

This might be the worst effort I’ve seen in a while.

 

[shtorm2005]

Mantha was the glue.

 

[usiel]

Backis with a PP goal.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

This game imho is offical Caps out of the playoffs game.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

This game imho is offical Caps out of the playoffs game.

Thank god. Start giving Protas and any young guy in the line up more minutes. It is officially development time for the remaining games this season.

I would agree here. Spirited come back last game and lay a dud in this one. Would like to see NAK (decent 4th liner with a contract for next season) sit to see how how any potential 4th liners in Hershey get some playing time. Probably time for Sheary to sit as well. Getting Johan up on the D side give him some addition NHL games.

Uh oh Sandin stinks now. That’s not good!

The coach is standing in the way. He’s been standing in the way for two years.

You will get this until we are mathematically eliminated.

 

[Drakon]

There was one where I guess it was a misread or a bad pinch or something, the other two were just he happened to be on the ice when someone else got beat.

 

[Ridley Simon]

And that’s a wrap.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Oh I'm going to say it. I want the Pens to make the playoffs. I don't want them anywhere having hope of getting Bedard.

NAK's already been extended for next season.

 

[Capsman]

Unless we have a PP, might as well skip the extra man.

 

[usiel]

NAK's already been extended for next season.

Yeah that is why it would be ok to sit him to get some young forwards some NHL play time.

One thing I noticed with Sandin on the PP point he was like send wrister to the next that got easily knocked down or block by the Blues Dmen. Has he uncorked a slapper on the PP yet? Carlson coming back he'll be back on probably PP2 unit but guess good for the game tape for analysis moving forward.

Can’t wait to see the youth not score and get worked along with the rest of ‘em the rest of the way….sigh….

 

[usiel]

Don't worry Protas will attend the Dave Andreychuk's Big Guy 5ft From The Goalie camp this off-season.

Joking aside yeah I was Protas go all in on shooting camp all off season.

 

[usiel]

We should always celebrate the wins but tonight is...

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Can’t wait to see the youth not score and get worked along with the rest of ‘em the rest of the way….sigh….

Probably right but at least we can see what some of the young guys can really do. They need to assess what they have in the system IMHO. Playing Craig Smith and Sheary in the top nine does nothing.

 

[WanderingCapsFan]

Maybe he sucks, I don't know. Maybe the Hershey guys can help out. But doesn't Garrett Pilon deserve at least a shot at the NHL level to see what he can do?
