[Blades of Steel]

let's not be f***ing suck again

Ovie has a chance to score his 45th and become the only player in NHL history to reach 10 - 45 goal seasons.

Tom Wilson has a chance to rent even more free space

most importantly, let's get the 2 points.

5-4 caps with ovechkin game winner

A full 60 minute effort would be refreshing for this guy. Also, I'm curious to see how the officials are instructed to call this game tonight-it might be an indicator of things to come...

 

[BallardEra]

Zero excuses tonight for them to be falling behind 2-0 early.

They need to jump on the Isles from puck drop and take the game to them.

 

[Marshall]

If the Caps didn't repeat their recent flaccid starts, it would be good.

Just got tickets to this game. Hoping for a good game from our boys!!!

Am I in crazy town? We are playing the Islanders tonight -- not Toronto.

lol good enough, i assumed everyone knew about the john tavares championship that was won last night by the islanders

 

[notDkristich]

Trying again...

We give up early soft goal and then dominate the 2nd period.

Trotz with the early eye brow action. Reirdon responds with triple effort crossed arms.

Wild game, 7-6 good guys in OT

That would be great, especially early to get into the Isles' heads and make them chase him around.

Yeah I would think so too but guess not and it was kind of embarrassing . I was thinking we could have just made it a theme and only talked about the Leafs in this GDT but decided against it.

omg that would've been golden

It's March outside. You either play well or you're in trouble. I expect a playoff type of hockey and a different level of commitment from the team.

 

[BallardEra]

Curious to see how much of an emotional letdown we get from the Isles after watching how amped they were last night.

Don't regret it, I enjoyed it, Especially after last nights drama.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Isles have an insane record coming off back-to-backs, something like 10-0 I believe.

I waded into the main GDT for that reason and I believe A) I am now dumber for having done so and B) my life expectancy is now reduced.

Aren’t islanders like 464237-0 on second half of back to back?

Huge game. Can’t go down 4 points to islanders while islanders also have a game in hand. Just can’t let that happen.

 

[BallardEra]

I noticed that the Caps last game of the season is at home versus the Isles.

Pretty sure that it will matter for positioning.

Yep, this is the first game all season where I think a playoff level effort is mandatory. If they want the Metro, this game is huge. If they really don't care about the Metro then expect more Caps variability.

Its 100% guaranteed that the Isles want the Metro, so expect their full effort, minus the energy they had last night.
