GDT: Bruins @ Capitals 7 PM 9/18

[Carlzner]

I like Kody Clark and Colby Williams

 

[Corby78]

Hobbs standing up for himself

 

[Corby78]

Um that back check looked pretty good to me

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Caps getting wrecked by the B's. What world is this?

 

[Carlzner]

Lol isn't LuJo one of the kids Sam Spade thinks Orpik is blocking?

 

[Corby78]

4.5 periods of play and I feel like we are giving up a lot of odd man breaks

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

I have been waiting years to watch Samsonov play in a Caps jersey and on his first shift the defense hangs him out to dry like that.

 

[Sam Spade]

Man if only Alan May could replace Laughlin the Caps would have the most perfect organization ever.

I am so tired of turning the sound down on games year after year.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Gersich cant catch the puck on the PP to save his life.

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Craig is my boy!

 

[Corby78]

Lol well niski sure isn’t taking Ovies spot on the turret

 

[Corby78]

That may have been the lamest fight I’ve ever seen

 

[AtNightWeFly]

....and I'm deaf.

 

[artilector]

Meh, preseason, it's all good.

The guys who are supposed to have ability are showing some glimpses of it, and the rest are showing their AHL level.

 

[Corby78]

Another odd man rush

 

[shtorm2005]

Is anyone angry about these losses?

Don’t care if we win or lose, but boy we look sloppy, fumbling a lot of pucks. And we aren’t getting anything dangerous on the other end

 

[Carlzner]

Is anyone angry about these losses?

No

 

[Sam Spade]

Lol isn't LuJo one of the kids Sam Spade thinks Orpik is blocking?

Yes, and this game doesn't change that one bit.

Seigenthaler, Hobbs, Johansen, all interchangeable for me.

Is anyone angry about these losses?

Did anyone get injured? I would also feel the same way after a win.

 

[John Price]

tom Wilson Grandpa has Caps jersey with grampie 43 on it

Well, how is a rusty AHL (mostly) team supposed to look like?

I'm not seeing anything that's not explainable by low (average) individual talent level and/or rust.

The few talented guys who have a chance to make the NHL team (eventually) have looked pretty good, IMO.

 

[Capsman]

Samsonov has the jitters, you can tell.

 

[maacoshark]

Seigenthaler, Hobbs, Johansen, all interchangeable for me.

They aren't interchangeable. Seigenhalter and Johansen play the left side and their styles are quite a bit different. Hobbs plays the right side and might be the most skilled of the 3. I think that Hobbs might be the better prospect long term.

Hobbs is def a super skilled guy. I mean he scored 31 goals his last season in junior, he had 85 points, AFTER he got drafted, those are hard numbers to ignore.

Watching all the behind the scenes stuff from rookie camp the Caps seem high on him, I hope he gets a legit chance. It is really too bad he got hurt last season.

I watched him score a lot of his goals in junior. He is a good skater and has a big shot. He can also play physical and plays with an edge. He can fight too. He needs to work on the defensive part of his game.
