GDT: 2019 Capitals Prospect Showcase Tournament

[tenken00]

Is that normal for these showcases to have a shootout after the game no matter the score?

 

[Holtbyisms]

Bindulis scores off a pass from Sugar Shane. MiMichael won the draw in the zone to get things going.

Mercy rule!

 

[Holtbyisms]

10-3 final, total beat down.

1. Fehervary
2. Samsonov
3. Nardella

 

[GoCaps2004]

Clearly, Fehervary was the best out there. Other names I’ll remember from the game: McMichael, Protas, Pinho, Nardella, Snively, Samsonov and Pilon.

I’m sure there a few others too.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Caps also win the post game shootout in 5 rounds 1-0. Gersich with the only shootout goal.

 

[Sam Spade]

Samsanov looks bored with the shootout.

They barely made him move.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

That was a lot of fun...

 

[tenken00]

Looks like the kids will be alright. Only negatives from game 1 is MIA AFJ and Sutter injury

 

[Holtbyisms]

With the exception of the motion sickness from watching the game through the netting and not allowing my eyes to focus that was fantastic. Not overly familiar with the canes outside of their Checkers guys in the AHL. How do they stack up to the Capitals prospects? I realize pretty much our entire team is AHL experienced or AHL eligible this year so I'm guessing we were the older more experienced group?

I think a lot of their guys were invitees. Not sure how many.

AA is bound to play in Hershey I think. He isn't aggressive/active enough in the D zone I thought (feed quality wasnt quite good maybe I lost something in the process).
MF could go to offensive zone at least with better partner so his (MF's) probable defensive shortcomings will be more masked.

Betting on LuJo playing for Caps before both of them
Just a hunch.

AA is totally not ready for the NHL, but you can see what he should become. He looks like a kid still getting comfortable (and obviously still maturing physically).

I think Alexeyev needs a season in Hershey but the reason Nardello could have the game he did was because his partner, Alexeyev, was so steady.

Was puzzling, I thought the opposite would be true and AA would be more aggressive.

 

[francaisvolantsparis]

AA is a def wall first of all. He is our Orpik v2

Every time I have watched AA he has been a pass first steady dman. He will jump in the play when the chance presents but he seems to understand his position very well. I don't think he will wow you but his passing and positioning are major strengths.
