Good luck #70..you're gonna need it.

Waiting for the Ken Klee hiring to implement the 5D system!

5-4 good guys.

Apparently eller may still not play and if he doesn't graovac will center the 3rd line

Now THAT is interesting. Graovac is the emergency 5C. Now we know why they don’t just waive him carelessly.

Any chance TOR does us a solid and leaves behind Carrick in a spare equipment bag after game? We could use a serviceable, puck-moving D with actual NHL experience, at least till Nisky returns.

This game could be over after 5 minutes

 

[trick9]

5-1 Capitals.

 

[twabby]

5-1 Capitals.

Gonna go with the "over" on 1 goal against.

 

[Hivemind]

Over/Under on total goals: 8.5

 

[RandyHolt]

Under. Caps 3-2

Holts remembers how they score.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Over/Under on total goals: 8.5

Vegas likes 6.5.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Over/Under on total goals: 8.5

Well our team has allowed less than 3 goals ONCE take the over

 

[Dr John Carlson]

1-0 trapfest. Ron "Stanley Cup Winner" Hainsey gets the OT goal.

 

[Shagged Yer Nan]

Time to be overly critical of Bowey.

Our D is going to smoked. I have zero confidence in Bowey.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

It's going to be one of those wild scoring games. 3-2-1 Blastoff!

 

[Corby78]

The irony of the desire to see Trotz play some young guys. Now were playing Groavac/Bowey/Djoos/Walker/Vrana all at the same time. At least Ness is out, maybe we have a chance.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Things I care about with this game:

• D pairs looking more defensive (given they've had a few practices now, it would be nice)
• Ovi, Beer Kuzy, Backy, and TJ add to their points/goal quotas
• Less penalties would be cool
• 70 resembling a large unsaturated sponge would help

A win is totally a bonus. A loss would be bogus, but ok, because I'm fully re-stocked with brewskies.

Who's #70 that you guys keep harping on?

 

[hockeykicker]

Eller is out tonight for caps

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

We have a chance in this one if our big guns show up to counter their big guns.

Who's #70 that you guys keep harping on?

That would be Holtby. I don't know why we're bitching about him here, he wasn't in net for the 8-2 loss vs Philly.

 

[ovikovy817]

Eller is out tonight for caps

Will see what Graovac is capable of as a C

 

[aonb]

Over/Under on total goals: 8.5

U mean after 1st period right?

This is going to be a fun game. The Leafs are such an exciting team. My first game ever at Verizon Center was this spring for Game 2 vs the Leafs. It was skillful hockey played at breakneck speed.

So many star players on both sides. Ovechkin, Matthews, Backstrom, Nylander, Kuznetsov, Marner, Oshie.
