GDT: Nashville Predators @ Washington No Goals (12/30/23 , 7pm)

[CapsSkins]

I am not optimistic about Shepard in a shootout but here we go.

 

[troyerlaw]

Surprise me, win the SO.

In other news … i thought Bear was amazingly sharp for first game in months

 

[Devil Dancer]

How many times have they fanned on the puck tonight?

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Absolutely half ass shootout attempts.

 

[Liam Smith]

Tough team to watch

 

[lotty83]

For a team that goes to the shootout this much we sure do suck at it.

We got robbed of a win there. Brutal.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Awful. Just awful.

Don’t blame Toronto. Good teams find a way to win. This team isn’t a good team.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Toronto stole a point from the Caps and a goal from OV. I shouldn’t be salty about this team losing a game but f*** that was complete bullshit.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Also, why is Ovi #2 in the SO?

Dumb

 

[TRASHCAT]

Awful. Just awful.

Don’t blame Toronto. Good teams find a way to win. This team isn’t a good team.

They literally stole a goal from us in the last 60 seconds of the game.

Tough luck but find a way to win. Those shootout attempts were pathetic.

tradition

he's what, 1 out his last 200?

 

[Capsman]

Observations: Why are we having OV shoot 2nd again? Kuzy nicely capped off his suckage. And Hunter lokoed way outclassed in the shootout, just sat in the net like a sitting duck. Needed to come out more.

Dude shut up! It doesn't apply here. OV had a good goal game winner and TO idi0ts took it away! They nickel and dime OV taking away goals from him so it's harder to catch Gretzky!

Oh stop whining.

They found a way to win and so they have to find another and another and another and another and another

Shootout is a crap shoot!

Nashville clearly had possession prior to the goal, anyway. It should have been called back for that.

Shepard had a good game but plays way too deep in net and was never going to stop anything in the shootout.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Oh stop whining.

May just said the exact same thing as me! Go tell Alan May that we'll see if you survive without a hole in your face!

Shep is an NHL rookie. Just his 3rd NHL game!

 

[SherVaughn30]

So OV gets robbed in plain sight for Dowd having a big butt while his skates were outside the crease!

I just saw the play. Gotta love the NHL.

 

[g00n]

That was bullshit.

 

[stephenball]

Sucks to lose that way for sure. Would have felt great to come away with 2 points and 2 Ovechkin goals. It was nice to see them not totally fold after going down by 2 though.

Thought Bear had a pretty solid first game.

 

[Corby78]

I’m usually not one to blame refs, but we got jobbed there. There isn’t a hockey fan in Nashville that will tell you that was a good call.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Hunter Shepard > Kuemper.
