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

[Ovechtrick89*]

Tarasenko has looked downright dominant in every game I've seen him this season. I think he's going to be an absolute stud. Could be Top 5 forward in the league in a couple years time.

Glad i'm not the only one that sees it, when i consider Datsyuk's age, Malkin's injury history and that possibly halting his longevity then you'll be hard pressed to convince me of taking any other russian apart from Ovechkin in the NHL than Tarasenko.

well if your building a team for the long haul, you could argue taking him over Ovie. More years in front of him and much lighter contract to build around.

I'm going to go out on the limb and call a Caps win.

Fair point again but i think Ovi's shot is just something that nobody has and because it's not something that declines with age his value will be sky high no matter how old he is but Tarasenko might be a better piece at this stage to build around.

thats what so frustrating about watching kuz on the 4th line. most fans that watched he and Tarasanko knew they would both be amazing talents and Kuzzy being more talented then the two

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

This organisation never ceases to amaze me, they finally get the right coach to figure out Mojo and turn him into quality top 6 guy but arguably the most talented prospect in the league (kuzy) is being ruined for reasons unbeknownst to me.

 

[g00n]

2nd line w/Orpik getting pinned in the d-zone a lot tonight

 

[KevinM]

Peters is playing pretty well tonight

 

[Dream Big]

Peters with a great stop on a Tarasenko wrister off the draw.

 

[g00n]

these linesmen suck

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Chimera is looking really really out of sorts this season, may want to cut ties and get younger at that position come end of the season

 

[Dream Big]

Fehr wins two face offs in a row.

Score!!

 

[SChan*]

trotz hockey - lose 0-1 instead of 4-5.

 

[KevinM]

Wardo!!!!

Totally worth that contract.

 

[g00n]

elliot poopin pucks

 

[Dream Big]

Ward's shot squeezes past the goalie and in.

 

[Corby78]

lol, that has to be frustrating for the blues. lol

 

[CapsJunkie]

hahahahaha getting dominated BAD, and now tied. I love it

 

[BackToTheBasics]

Wardo!

 

[Hivemind]

Hole-by!

Am I doing it right?

 

[Raikkonen]

From Dumb to Contender in one shot.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Ward is making that line look respectable this season, if not for him then that would be one of the most unproductive in the league.

 

[Corby78]

now lets see if we can hold on for OT

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Had a feeling Caps might do this simply because they've been doing it to THEMSELVES all season. Dominate the 1st period, loads of shots, plenty of puck possession, but only 1 goal to show for it and letting the other team hang around. Pretty much what St Louis did in that 1st.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

If Holtby was in goal we'd either be 4-0 down with 4 of the easiest shots going in or be up 2-0 and then lose 3-2 in the last 10 of the 3rd from 3 should be easy saves going in.
