GDT: Canucks v. Caps: Sat., Nov. 23rd, 12:30pm

Figures, Eller has done absolutely nothing right on offense today. Not a surprise.

Well...except the only assist on the only goal

 

[maacoshark]

Let Malenstyn shoot.

Why?

 

[twabby]

The Caps played fine

 

[Capsman]

How do you figure? We had 2 guys in the penalty box. You guys are ridiculous. Uneducated might be the proper word.

He was responsible for the first PP.

Inevitable post is inevitable.

 

[Three On Zero]

Pretty entertaining early morning game, caps are such a fun team to watch, they smother and play you hard! Hats off and go get #2 this post season

also Pettersson is like Bambi on skates and I think the refs need to loosen up on the calls he gets. Kid needs to work on the strength

 

[txpd]

Feel like Vrana should’ve definitely been the third to shoot instead of ovi,

This matters how?

This.

We are a spoiled lot. I won't have any problem when the Isles pass the Caps and win the Metro. Heavy is the head that wears the crown for real.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Ovi had so many opportunities and didn’t convert either. Our best players tonight didn’t come through - and that’s why we lost.

with these rookies in lineup we are 0-2 now. Seems like most important for caps this season is staying healthy.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Wow Stephenson actually took the shot. Likely because he fell lol

 

[maacoshark]

Several guys today played about as stupidly and poorly as they could possibly play. Eller, Panik, and Stephenson please take a bow.

Eller made a nice play on the goal then pretty much sucked. Stephenson took a costly penalty but otherwise was ok. Panik took a bad penalty and was invisible the rest of three game. Why aren't you mentioning anyone else that did nothing? There were plenty.
Holtby was by far our best player.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I should pay attention to start times, so not to miss games . Oh well, how did Beck look?

 

[GoCaps2004]

This matters how?

Clearly didn’t matter with them both missing, but I think we all know Ovi is atrocious in the shootout. Vrana has much softer hands than Ovi

 

[Sam Spade]

This was pretty much the definition of a 50/50 game. If we didn't give them those power plays we probably win that game.

I hope they win the presidents trophy, just as long as we make the playoffs

This is beyond silly. Winning the division is preferred without a doubt.

 

[StrikingDistance]

They scored on a 5-3 and we didn't convert on any of our PPs.

That's the game.

 

[Melkor]

That was a bad game, bad look for Oshie after that failed breakaway with 10 feet of a gap and bad shootout for both teams. It happens. I just feel that the Panik acquisition is probably the biggest bust of Mclellan era. Looks absolutely useless.

 

[895]

When the time comes to waive someone for cap reasons, GMBM needs to seriously consider making the hard choice of waiving Panik.

 

[max21]

Seems like we lose games when Holtby is great, the Panthers are great offensively and I imagine he starts again Wednesday. Anyone else concerned like myself if Holtby leaves next year?

 

[maacoshark]

He was responsible for the first PP.

I thought it was a pretty weak call. Panik's penalty was the more costly one.

The fate of Holtby will be decided in the playoffs. If he's good they will try their best to keep him. If he's his last seasons version...well you know the rest.

I'm concerned. I don't think we have another goalie ready to be the starter.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Backstrom hasn’t been great this year but people underrate his importance to our team even now

He is important to this team.
