GDT: Washington vs Sammy’s Revenge

[tenken00]

So 7 mins in the period and we still have no shots?

 

[Capsman]

I figured it out with Carlson. He’s doing the reverse this year — horrendous to start the year and he’ll finish strong. That’s gotta be it.

Carlson’s advances stats were among the worst on the team early last season, am I remembering incorrectly?

You are. He was actually pretty strong individually all regular season, and then shit the bed in the playoffs as per recent tradition.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Nice to see Sheary fitting in so well on the 4th line. They've outplayed the 3rd line by quite a bit.

 

[pman25]

Not able to generate much, leafs been much faster

 

[twabby]

Man that stinks. Such a strong game and then that

 

[troyerlaw]

Soffft goal. But what are you gonna do. Lindgren has been excellent otherwise. Sigh

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Lindy pulled a Sammy.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Averaging one garbage goal a game….

 

[Hivemind]

Lindgren is the best player on our powerplay

 

[McVechkin]

will this pp ever score?

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Man does Ovie look slow tonight.

 

[Fred22406Capsfan]

WAY early but this team is going to be "sub-par" if they don't get their heads out of their asses....

I remember because @txpd would argue all day and night about Carlson having 17 g 54 a against you until you were blue in the face lol.

Edit: Or am I thinking of the year before? The pandemic kind of messed me up on time. Just remember him going on about John.
Kinda miss that now.

 

[Carlzner]

Way to go Blaine!!

 

[troyerlaw]

Wow the PP is horrendous. And Kuz has been a liability these first two games. And Kuz, Mantha, Eller, Strome, Carlson … that’s a worrisome sized chunk of our roster which really appears somewhat soft and perimeter-oriented

 

[SherVaughn30]

Matthews tip the shot...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Feeeeever….great D there…

 

[Capsman]

You simply cankot keep Forsythe on as PP coach. It’s asinine. Are they honestly concerned that the PP will get worse? Like the guy is some hidden gem who holds the secret to their units getting the puck past their own blue line?

 

[twabby]

Huh. Matthews did tip that. Less of a softie now I guess.

He coaches the center for face-offs too...

 

[Devil Dancer]

Just wait for Backstrom and Oshie to be healthy at the same time, and watch the PP explode!

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

This team may go though some things this year.
It’s early but a lot of the same problems from last year are showing again, and the wheels just don’t seem to be there.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Frustrating because we normally get a game in Toronto where it's a blowout against the Caps. They settled the game down and then voila a freak goal. Still a lot of time left in the game, however the first and third line need to get it together.

 

[Cappy76]

Lines juggled Mantha and Ovie switched
