GDT: G70: Caps @ Wild 1pm CT, 7pm Sweden, 8pm Lapa (BSN)

[Sad People]

Soon we'll have 2 scoring lines rolling, that's going to open things up for us down the road!!

Hope Kap is 100% when he gets back and doesnt have any lingering issues. With the way weve been playing i wouldnt have a problem giving him a little extra time just to be safe.

dont forget about ryan reaves, the offensive dynamo!

Refs just wanted Dumba out of the end of the game

He didn’t get 10, did he? Just Wilson?
That was a tricky stoppage. We were in position to score, with a 3 on 1, but refs blew the whistle, because of a lack of helmet, or?

If it was a one goal game, do they still call that? It’s not like Dumba initiated anything, and stopping the play clearly harmed the Wild. You could argue that WAS should get an extra penalty for ripping off the helmet

Whoever was hoping for that all-Swede lineup must have jinxed it all

Dumba only got one of the even 2's

Naw, you're still welcome here, we had no goals waived off for offside today, so you're good luck

I'm sure Reaves will update Kirill on the latest of offensive moves. lol

Good win and loved the Boldy floodgates opening. Hope he gets 30 by the end of the regular season.

A confident Boldy is a near Superstar level player

 

[Digitalbooya]

Both Johansson and Sundqvist are confirmed by Evason as "fine" and they just shut them down for the game because they were up by enough goals.

 

[Nino Noderreiter]

Crazy that Hartman through everything including his slow start and stretch of games on lower lines is on pace for a 22g - 52 point season per 82 games. I think a healthy Hartman with Kaprizov is a legit 25g - 55-60 point player.

He’s got one of the softest hands I’ve seen in a while and when he also has the confidence to use them the right way he’s a superstar in the making. I wonder if he has much potential to improve his skating a bit more.

He's already a pretty good skater. You saw on the breakaways that he has deceptive speed. Once he got going, he was leaving everyone in his dust

He's a big man though, so it takes a few strides to get up to speed

Skating is good enough. He will get a bit stronger just with maturity. What I hope to see is his shot improve, or at least have him regain confidence in his shot.

He has confidence in it right now, that's for sure! He's a completely different player when he has confidence like this

Great! MaJoNice did very well again, nice addition to the team

Fun game , loved the energy. Man having Brodin back changes things.

True. But I rarely see him separate himself from the opposition like that. Albeit I’m not able to watch every game so I’m at a disadvantage here. I’ll take you guys word for it.

The confidence shouldn’t be an issue after a performance like that. But yes, there’s room for improvement. The mentality is starting to be there, which is a lot harder to teach in my opinion. Hopefully he follows it up by shooting holes into his wall like there’s no tomorrow.

I dislike early these early start times. I forgot about the game.

Again, it's more because it takes a few strides to get up to that speed. It's not an instant switch like it was for Gaborik back in the day. That's a rare skill for a big man like Boldy, so likely shouldn't expect it.

 

[TaLoN]

The confidence shouldn’t be an issue after a performance like that.

5 goals, 4 assists, 9 points in his last 5 games. You could see the confidence growing in each one. Now he looks as confident as he ever has... and back to where he was to finish last season and the start of this season.

It's pretty nice for those of us living in the Lapa time zone though.

Here was the beauty of a clean hit from Dumba... textbook hit!
