GDT: Caps @ Bruins | 10/11/14 | 7 PM | CSN

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Johansson checked someone. Trotz is getting 100% buy in.

 

[Brian23]

Yanno, so far, I'm okay with how the PP is set up. If Green still gets half the PP on unit 2, I think he'll get his. That grouping becomes more about him while PP1 is obviously all about Ovi.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

I was actually impressed with NESN giving Ovy the praise all night. Normally I hear a lot of homerism on NESN, but tonight was refreshing.

I was about to say that, very good to see considering Joe B and craig give praise to the opposition all the time

 

[g00n]

They all have a little Nylander in them.

Possibly. He's got a lot of kids.

 

[txpd]

That really, really needs to happen ASAP

no hurry. as long as 90 is playing as well as he is, I doubt seriously they demote him

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Point conceded...I meant more drilling a guy in the back along the boards nasty.

I'll take whatever from him in the physicality department so long as he is dishing it out more than he is taking it.

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

While still learning a new system. I hate Oates even more now. He better not be at the legends classic game. If he is, I hope fans throw trash at him, as harsh as it sounds.

It is harsh but totally justified, he has sent this organisation back 10 years when they should be at presidents cup levels.

 

[PuckBuddy]

I forgot what it was like to see #19 and #8 getting regular ES chances.

I also forgot what it was like to enjoy watching Caps games....

 

[Ovechtrick89*]

Kuznetsov needs to step up and play smarter. Burakovsky-Kuznetsov makes the most sense for line two and it's there for the taking. He just has to take it.

Fair point, but Kuzya is just too supremely talented to playing with a guy no one even heard of before the season on the 4th.

 

[g00n]

no hurry. as long as 90 is playing as well as he is, I doubt seriously they demote him

Fanboys need to settle down. We just shut out the B's 4-0 and they're still whining.

Let the coach do his job. Root for the team instead of playing time for favorite players.

 

[Carlzner]

NESN is always like that. Edwards makes some dumb comments occasionally but he's much more unbiased than most local commentators.

A few years ago not really but now I totally agree, I like Edwards.

 

[artilector]

This was a damn good win!

3rd period lockdown was excellent. 1st line had a solid game.

And there's still a lot of improvement to look forward to:
1. Team getting more comfortable with Trotz's systems
2. Orlov & Wilson coming back to add a big doze of skill and nasty
3. Kuz and Bura continuing to improve.

Looks like the first Caps regular season that will be fun to watch since BB's glory days.

 

[edamer]

Kuznetsov needs to step up and play smarter. Burakovsky-Kuznetsov makes the most sense for line two and it's there for the taking. He just has to take it.

What do you mean? I haven't seen anything not smart about his play this short season. If you don't mean his innate russianigmaticness

 

[butters8814*]

Great game by this team, i hope its going to be like this all year

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

So Schmidt is good, huh?

 

[kmart]

didnt saw it...wat did lucic do to green to get thrown out ?

 

[PuckBuddy]

I don't understand mispronouncing names from Cyrillic based languages.

He was pronouncing it correctly. "E" is pronounced like like the vowels in "yeah". Or... y'know... "Nyet" = Нет.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

didnt saw it...wat did lucic do to green to get thrown out ?

Green laid him out with a maybe questionable hit that didn't get a call. Puck went down the ice but Lucic decided he'd rather make his team shorthanded than play actual hockey by chasing Green down and cross-checking him.

 

[Marshall]

Impressive road win.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Philly chokes up 3 goal lead in 3rd period to Mtl, loses 4-3 in OT. Good night gets better.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Now thats how you play boys, I can't even remember the last time I saw a 60 minute hard played game, this may have been pretty close to it. A few gaffs here and there but overall very impressive and I think they'll get better. As I said before, we are severely underrated this year.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Nice Win! Holtby looking good. Trotz in his post game remarks thought the Caps had a better game against Montreal. I'm gonna like Trotz.

Impressed with Nate Schmidt's play tonight as well.

when joe b mentioned that bosto media were picking the caps to win the east, who here laughed?
