GDT: LDR’s Inaugural GDT Thread: Youth Caps Vs. Long Island Semi-Old Farts

[CapitalsCupReality]

What a shift Hendo and Protas!

 

[RedRocking]

Jimi!!

 

[pman25]

I’m ready for Full Time Hendrix

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

It’s scary how good CMM (not playing tonight), AP, and Lapi have become.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

My imagination or is Wilson skating so much faster than the beginning of this season? Like night and day difference. Yeah I know about the knee injury.

 

[RedRocking]

Boys look sharp, passing and executing well.

 

[Calicaps]

Moar pleez!

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

I’ll say it again over and over again. There are times Lapi is on the puck and I mistake him rather quickly for good Kuzy.

Outsiders that don’t watch will say Ovi has lost it and sucks, but I really just think that he can’t buy a goal right now. No puck luck is going his way.

 

[um]

He has looked great.

The Ovie-Strome-Wilson works very well for some reason.

 

[Langway]

Protas up to 10 points in his last 15 games. He has arrived.

This. I know folks focus on his puck handling, but honestly, he lost that ages ago. His passing has been terrific this year. He's been committed to D, even if not always so effective, and he's shooting plenty. Maybe his shot has lost some velocity or accuracy which is making it easier to save... I dunno... but he's playing well overall, IMO, this season.

4th line is getting way too much ice time. 5+ minutes already for Beck and NAK

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

I know I'm biased (as it should be!) but are the announcers drooling over the Islanders' or am I just hearing what I don't want to hear?

 

[tycoonheart]

Absolutely. He makes himself known everytime he is on the ice.

It will always be that way. I like the underdog role.

 

[pman25]

A good first but wtf is the 4th line getting 6+ minutes that period about? Puzzling.

 

[Raikkonen]

only caught 2 shifts of Miro and seen nothing, how is he looking? out of place so far?

I’m with you Cali. If anything, shoot more!

 

[Calicaps]

I dig the TNT crew. They're rocking the extra-loud hockey attire (except Biz... weak) and really analyzing the play.

 

[Carlzner]

Wow those odds on the Caps making the playoff are really nice... I never bet on the Caps but that might be too good to pass up.

 

[RedRocking]

Kuemper, bro, pls stop with these huge rebounds

 

[Calicaps]

Had a good chance on his first shift. Was otherwise not noticeable.

OH... Darcy, wut?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Damn it Sandin…

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Very weak Darcy.
