GDT: Game 34 | Washington Capitals @ Columbus Blue Jackets | 12/21 7PM

[MAHJ71]

Didn’t mind the looks on that power play.. always a fan of quick passing…

 

[stevo61]

nice flop

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Gah I'm here screaming "WHY ARE WE LEAVING OVECHKIN WIDE OPEN" and then... they score. 1-0 WSH.

Caps showing what our power play SHOULD look like with a RHD

 

[majormajor]

I hope our coaches take a page from the Caps. They're not a skilled team anymore and they're painfully slow, and yet they're always in the right place, always in the way.

PP has been solid with a left handed setup

 

[aRussian]

Drunk aRuss thinks decent period but definitely have poor zone clears. Gonna kick our own asses if we don’t shore that up. No shots in danger territory butnoted multiple attempted deflections, so won’t criticize too harshly

PP has been solid with a left handed setup

Yeah, solid.

We can make it excellent when Laine and Boqvist are back. Would be great to have two really good PP lines. Or a great one and a solid one.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Yeah, solid.

Being a big Kent Johnson fan this is probably biased, but I think KJ is actually a better PP facilitator than Johnny. He moves it more quickly and with greater purpose.

"Hey, Brendan Gaunce! Took him a while to get to full speed, but when he did, he was... slow..."

-my dad

 

[puckgoalnet]

Chinakhov has gone from "tons of potential" to one of the best on the team. Fun to watch.

 

[CBJ goalie]

Entertaining game so far, I like the way they're playing.
Moving the puck well.

I agree! Also Fantilli.

Way too much talent in this team not to have a top3 PP in the league.

 

[Napoli]

4th line is our best line tonight so far, KJ's a close second, hes having a game. Other two lines need to wake up. WSH seem to be going down awfully easy tonight

 

[Bobcat205]

Where was this performance when Chuck Lindgren was in St. Louis? At least if it showed up then we'd have to deal with it less.

 

[joybang]

Ooof. Provorov dead.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Gotta like when Elvis thanks Provy personally like that. We give Elvis some crap (deservedly) on his outbursts but at least it sometimes works the other way too.

 

[Bobcat205]

Right off the point of the ankle. I've taken hits to that before, hurts like holy hell.

 

[Bobcat205]

Lindgren just reacted to that shot like he took a 12 gauge slug to the chest, did you see that windmill save?

 

[stevo61]

some major saves by Elvis.

 

[ViD]

We’re witnessing Ovechkin the playmaker

 

[Seedtype]

Great work guys!

 

[stevo61]

what a shift

 

[MoeBartoli]

Sillinger great tip!

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Oh wow. Silly (barely) tips in Bemmer's shot. Pretty good instinct by Bemmer there to drop off a bit, it was pretty noticeable and kudos to him for that.
1-1 CBJ.
