GDT: Washington Capitals @ New York Rangers | 12/27/22 | 7:00p ET

[Devil Dancer]

Irwin doing his best Tyler Sloan impression tonight.

He's had an awful game.

 

[um]

He's had an awful game.

brutal game. Lujo better get his chance next game.

 

[DWGie26]

The 3rd pair a little shakey but holding up for now. I would like to see Iorio if Carlson is out long term

I don’t think Iorio is ready for NHL games. He is only playing third pair in Hershey. Very young and needs to put on some size. Next year I think he could get some games. For right now, I’d prefer to see Alexyev on the right. He has played a lot of RD across his professional career.

 

[Capsman]

Irwin has been far and away our worst defenseman tonight.

 

[DWGie26]

Well that is a new way to get a shorty! Sheary on the PK has been fun!

 

[HTFN]

Ovie on the bench like "dude there are easier ways to get those goals, mine almost never hurt like that"

 

[um]

Irwin with at least two disastrous turnovers so far. He's really lucky NYR didn't convert on either.

he also took a tripping penalty in front of the net that went uncalled.

 

[HTFN]

Wait so... what?

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Cheapie on Hathaway.

 

[pman25]

So weak come on

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Darcy is a stud.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Darcy is a stud.

Tonight he is.

 

[RedRocking]

Felt like maybe Hath “earned” that throughout the night. Otherwise, baffling.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Ask me if I’m mad I started Shesterkin in fantasy.

(Don’t actually ask me, the answer is no.)

 

[Marshall]

Darcy is a stud.

@Drake1588 and I were discussing that a bit ago. Even good goatlending would have been an upgrade - this has been even better.

 

[Langway]

Made MSG a library. Gave 'em nothing.

Solid Team Win®.

 

[DWGie26]

Didnot want to throw out the S word early. But now we can say it. Shutout Biache’s!

 

[Marshall]

Hey, Lloyd - set 'em up!

 

[Devil Dancer]

Big win, good goaltending, AA got it done.

Irwin yikes. Get well soon #3.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Nice to get Darcy the SO. He deserved it.

 

[Capsman]

Great PK. Going to you out on a limb and say that Laviolette has not lost the locker room, lol. Strong argument for Jack Adams if this continues.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but it feels like sending McMichael down was kind of a watershed moment for the team and CM

 

[chilimac]

Isles taking it to the Pens.

Caps into… third place ?

 

[DWGie26]

Irwin had a tough game for sure, but he gets grace from me. He has been like Eller last year. New partners all the time and a couple of games he was forced to play on his off side. Put him back in again on Thursday and he’ll respond.

 

[BallardEra]

10-1 in their last 11 games.

 

[Calicaps]

Caps into… third place ?

Indeed.
