GDT: Washington @ Boston | Return of the Finns Edition

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Henrik Borgstrom recalled and will play tonight. A Finn! The end of days is truly upon us. Borgstrom is the first Finn to appear in a regular season game since Oskar Osala in 2009.

Only two more games before this dreadful season is over.

They were willing to accept him because his name sounds Swedish.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Are the Bruins starting their men? Can I bet them -2.5 goals?!?!?

That is all that matters!!!!

 

[usiel]

Osala the legend. Didn't we get a pick from Carolina for him?

 

[max21]

Do we want to be the team they get the record against?

didn't they get it already?

 

[Cappy76]

didn't they get it already?

Wins yes points no I thought I saw idk how that’s possible though

Edit: Montreal 60w 12 tie 132 season is how it’s possible. Bruins currently at 131 points

 

[max21]

didn't they get it already?

Wins, but not points. They’ll jump the 132 point 76-77 Canadians with a win tonight.

One of the concerns with Alexeyev since his last year in juniors is his durability. Ugh.

Pretty sure it looked like a skate blade issue. He looked down at his skate after the whistle made me first think his blade popped out but you could clearly see it still there may have just completely lost an edge and is getting sharpened again

Hope you’re right!

Hope you’re right!

You were right!

 

[marcel snapshot]

Lineup of young, strong two-way play, try-hards again looking pretty competitive tonight, especially relative to most 2023 Caps games

Back out there now seems fine so probably just an equipment/skate issue

Yeah. Hard to compare since there was no OT or SO back then, plus they played 2 fewer matches.

From wikipedia:

This is a list of franchise records for the Montreal Canadiens of the National Hockey League.

low effort...deal wit it

Kuzy showing characteristic soft play

Doesn’t really matter IMO. This Boston team won’t be remembered for beating the caps for their 132nd point of the season it’ll be most wins in a season and most points.

Besides that our caps have been a trivia answer for some of the biggest showings of ineptitude in league history this wouldn’t even rank

I'm sure ESPN will constantly remind us lol if it happens.

[CapitalsCupReality]

Give it to him refs! Lol…

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

Damn, why'd it have to be the rat?

 

[Capsman]

Why play young Hershey defensemen from Hershey when Irwin can lead the tank. Right on Caps!

 

[Neil Racki]

Does their PA guy say “brad Marchand” in an intentionally annoying way?

Mcavoys looked special a couple times tonight

The USA team would be pretty good
