GDT: Capitals RedWings 7pm

[Hivemind]

Love that shift from the top line. Great activation by Sandin. Great vision by Ovie.

 

[Cush]

lol, terrible call

 

[um]

Not a good game for Johansen so far.

 

[Hivemind]

Not a good game for Johansen so far.

A truly terrible period for him

 

[HTFN]

A truly terrible period for him

yeah, I put my curse on him

 

[Calicaps]

The Kuzy magic is such a tantalizing tease.

 

[tycoonheart]

They don't look too different than they did last year. They look like a mess defensively.

 

[twabby]

The Sandin-Carlson duo rocking an 80%+ xGF. Sure, it might be a preseason game against some AI-generated players from Detroit, but 38-74 are going to be just fine.

 

[Capitals40]

Backstrom seems decent with his skating..relaxed.

 

[Cush]

yeah, they need to do something about that overlay

 

[Liam Smith]

Ovi’s looking good

 

[RedRocking]

Miro’s gotta bury that, not dust it off

 

[HTFN]

They don't look too different than they did last year. They look like a mess defensively.

going to disagree, it's been two games but also seeing huge changes to their breakout structure and the pace of puck movement, all for the positive.

 

[John Price]

a successful pp!

 

[HTFN]

If today is anything to be based on, Kuznetsov looks like a different dude this year and Backstrom seems much more comfortable

 

[Hivemind]

The previously espoused concept that McMichael is not good in front of the net is such bunk. Great screen there.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Hopefully Kuzy has a great season so they can ship him out of town next summer.

 

[RedRocking]

Ovi doing everything possible to get Miro to score

 

[HTFN]

Miro's going to be a player. Already barely looks out of place physically and in pace of play (though not exactly good enough to keep yet), lots of reason to think his AHL season is going to be real good

Cristall also looks poised and proactive with his time and touches, lots to work with there too.

 

[John Price]

they said they'd do a shootout after the game regardless of who won

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Miro may not make the team but if he doesn’t, he should soon.

 

[Marshall]

Ovechkin has passed up at least two good shot opportunities he would normally take.

 

[HTFN]

Great shift by the Caps, lots of great touches and high-low zone play

like I said Miro probably isn't worth keeping just yet but holy smokes he's not far off looking like he belongs in the NHL already in spot duty, made some nice touches on that shift and played within himself

 

[Hivemind]

46's game just keeps getting worse.

 

[JayBeagleFanAccount]

miro is that guy; cristall looks damn good as well
