Caps lose 4-3, Alzner says something about how hard it is to get up for CBJ in the post-game interview.

 

[Blades of Steel]

I was afraid this was posted before official game day, I see you made it 7 minutes in.

Nice GTD btw.

Wow, their back up goalie has been as bad as ours.

Caps are producing 5v5, I'll go with 3-1 good guys.

Ovie with 1 on PP

You're probably right about getting up. If he's even awake I'll be impressed. Ha ha

Caps win it for baby Stella. 7-1. (Too optimistic?) See my name.

Congrats to #Caps @KarlAlzner & wife Mandi on birth of their child. Stella Raay Alzner born at 7:22 pm 8lbs 5oz. Mom & daughter doing great.

Nice job on the GDT Deadly.

 

[Capathetic]

I don't see the Caps putting many past Bobrovsky right now.

3-2 jackets. Johansen and Jenner prob score the goals that matter.

 

[RaindanceMaggie]

I think we play well, we're coming off arguably one of our best games of the season. I'm going with 4-1 Caps:. Ovi with 2 goals, one coming on the PP & another ES. Ward pots one and so does Beagle. Dubinsky scores a PP marker for them.

 

[CapsJunkie]

caps seem to have momentum. I say 4-2 caps kuzzy with 2

 

[Dream Big]

Just for fun.

Yes Kuzzy with 2

Also
Ovi 1
Backstrom 1
Fehr 1
Carlson 1
Holtby 1

7-1 Caps

 

[JenniferH]

Beautiful GDT.

Caps win, 4-1 ... Ovi, Kuzy, Beagle and Laich. (What can I say, I'm optimistic).

If I was being REALLY optimistic ...

7-0

Ovi (hat-trick), Holtby (ENG), Kuzy, Beagle and Laich (so that someone from each line scores), plus SO.

 

[trick9]

Columbus has won 4 in a row and beat the same TBL team last Saturday.

2-1 OT win for Caps.

 

[g00n]

Post road trip letdown game a big possibility. Let's see if this team is learning to prepare better

 

[GoCaps2004]

Caps never win these games.
Realistic me 3-2 buffalo
Optimistic me 5-1 caps

 

[Blades of Steel]

Caps never win these games.
Realistic me 3-2 buffalo
Optimistic me 5-1 caps

good thing we aren't playing buffalo

 

[Hivemind]

I smell a shootout.

 

[SashaSemin28]

Really good GDT weird seeing one with effort put in on here XD

Hoping for a regulation win, will take anything against a hot jackets team though

 

[tycoonheart]

Last time they beat a good team, they completely crapped the bed the next game.

Here's a chance to prove they've turned a corner. Another 60 min game with a win would do wonders for this team's confidence.

Really good GDT weird seeing one with effort put in on here XD

Our GDTs are a representation of the team - lazy, unmotivated and lacking effort.

 

[PuckBuddy]

I'd hate to see any consistency or urgency for my favorite laundry-wearers.

Capitals starting practice, Mike Green among them. Trotz speaks later, but expecting Green returns tonight vs. Columbus.

Alan May @MayHockeyCSN
This is great news for the #Caps RT @alex_prewitt: Mike Green confirms he'll be in the lineup tonight.

 

[swimmer77]

Mike Green:

One goal - game winner.

Two bone headed plays.

No injuries.

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

The Norris race just got interesting.

 

[Blades of Steel]

I'm expecting a good game tonight, Jackets have won 4 straight, Caps 3 straight..

let's get it.


Maybe Wilson and Dubinsky will go at it, always liked Dubs.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Post road trip letdown game a big possibility. Let's see if this team is learning to prepare better

I agree. I smell a loss here. We'll sleepwalk the first 10 minutes and be down 2 heading into the 2nd. Won't be able to get enough past Bob to catch up. Tank thread will engage.

 

[ChibiPooky]

So if they pull off a win tonight, do we start talking about them turning the corner?

 

[tycoonheart]

So if they pull off a win tonight, do we start talking about them turning the corner?

Only if the win comes in a similar fashion as last game - a 60 min effort.
