GDT: Caps @ Blues 11/15/14 8PM EST

[discobob]

Have the caps won a faceoff this whole freaking game?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Good Night. A painful game to watch and the announcing is terrible.

 

[MrGone]

Mike Green playing center field.

 

[Raikkonen]

Who said 4-1 Louis? We have a winner for now!

 

[Corby78]

night all,

 

[philip]

Why are we so awful at keeping the puck 5 on 5? our passing game is awful unless we have a man advantage

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

I hate when people say 'why don't we let him loose'. He chooses when he wants or doesn't want to hit. It's on him to bring it consistently. He sleeps in way too many games. Gliding around and across the ice isn't going to cut it. It's clear and you can tell when he decides to show up and give it his all. It's rare.

Won't believe it till i hear it definitively. I really fail to see why a guy who has that in him just chooses not to. Definitely instructed by coaches to pick and choose his energy bursts rather than letting him go for it.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

So what's wrong with MAJO that he missed tonight's game as well as last night?

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

night all,

Would say the same but I am holding out hope Wilson pops a Blue before its over.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Kuz back on the 4th line after a couple of solid shifts on the third line. Okay there Trotz.

 

[Blades of Steel]

I think it's time to try beagle on the 1st line

 

[LifetimeUFA]

Against the Rangers in game 6.

i went to a lot of therapy to forget about that game, now i wont be able to sleep tonight thinking about that nightmare of a game

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Should be a shutout for the Blues. Dominant performance tonight.

 

[BackToTheBasics]

That makes no sense at all. They don't want their best player to play with energy for a full game effort? That's hard to believe.

 

[Hivemind]

Pros from tonight:
We don't have Monsanto logos or creepy anatomical hearts on our boards.

Cons from tonight:
Hockey

 

[philip]

outclassed by a team much better than us. sad times

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Don't think a single Cap looked particularly good out there tonight.

 

[Mickstix]

That was just no fair! They kept playing even with the 2 goal lead..

ANyway, we got heavily outclassed and outmatched tonight.. Blues are a stud team, great passing, keep coming at ya, disciplined.. Just a much better hockey club.. But the reffing was a little bull****ish.. They could of called 3 or 4 penalties on the Blues in the 3rd period alone but swallowed the whistle.. Whatever..

 

[Blades of Steel]

It's time guys. This team needs a major change and its not behind the bench. Seriously.

 

[Raikkonen]

Outclassed. Nowhere near contending.

On the other hand if Trotz would try some speedy Canadian winger with good board play on the 1st line! Maybe Ovie would score.

 

[um]

when did ovechkin become so inconsistent and backstrom so useless?

 

[MrGone]

That was just no fair! They kept playing even with the 2 goal lead..

Wait? You can do that? I wish someone would tell the "Young Guns" that.

 

[philip]

when did ovechkin become so inconsistent?

about 3 or 4 years ago

 

[BackToTheBasics]

when did ovechkin become so inconsistent?

3 years ago.

His mom hasn't been here to cheer him on.

Ovi's lack of finishing checks could either be due to Trotz expecting him to get back on defensive coverage quicker and going to finish a check might take him out of a play, or he could just be aging and feeling the lumps more so he's shying away from unnecessary physicality. Could be a third thing, who knows.
