GDT: Caps @ Bruins, 6:30PM

[troyerlaw]

Extra attacker here is stupid. Radically increases the chance we lose 5-1 instead of 4-2

 

[max21]

I don’t even know what to say, I can’t believe we’re on the brink of another first round exit

 

[DrewGl]

We had this one coach who got us a Cup...then I think the powers that be would not pay him. Forget his name...seems like that was not a wise decision.

 

[tenken00]

That's like giving someone credit for paying a speeding ticket

It's true he whiffed on that, but the flat cap really just compounded things.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Who's still watching to see if someone from Boston gets trucked?

 

[mad4comp]

At this point, any team that wants carlson can take him.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

What a shit effort from Carlson

 

[hb12xchamps]

Eddie Olczyk is absolutely trash. Horrible talking points, shows clear bias when calling games and overall is a pompous prick. We need better personalities to be calling these games

 

[Brian23]

That linechange by Carlson was an absolute joke. Just gave up the puck to the Bruins while we have an empty net.

 

[g00n]

Oshie don't block that shot. Who cares. Don't get injured keeping the score 4-1 instead of 5-1

 

[mad4comp]

ROFL... look at what lack of speed gets you. What a pathetic team

 

[Misery74]

Just put the goalie back in and end this clown show.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Boston with four players and winning every puck battle

Extra attacker here is stupid. Radically increases the chamce we lose 5-1 onstead of 4-2

Losing 5-1 doesn't matter. Goal different barely matters in the regular season tiebreakers, and has absolutely zero impact on how the playoffs are decided. The extra attacker giving them a 0.01% chance to win instead of a 0.0000001% chance to win is a smart call. It won't matter, but the only thing that matters in the playoffs are wins and losses, so making a move that helps improve their chances (however minimal) is the right play.

 

[SpinningEdge]

It’s f***ing 6 on 4 and bruins still dominating!

 

[Baszie]

Who is worse? Carlson or Shultz?

 

[Dibbs31]

6 on 4 dominated by Boston lol

 

[McVechkin]

1 for 7 with no adjustments and. Lucky goal.

 

[DanielMarois]

I give him credit for recognizing a mistake and fixing it, so yeah

Giving up a mid-first round pick, a second round pick, and a player who had similar point totals to the one you got to save a few million for your aging team is not what I would say is a fix.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Huh, well im trying to say that they are not really performing as expected at this point of their careers. This is the oldest (and slowest) top 6 in the league and you can tell. Im not denying their cup run, it was great and kuzy was in god mode.

Oshie has to go then, right?

kuzy, Wilson, and Mantha aren’t old. Replace Oshie with a younger faster player?

 

[g00n]

ROFL... look at what lack of speed gets you. What a pathetic team

Lack of speed? They're just being outplayed, and outmuscled. The PP stinks. It's not like they've been crushing us on breakaway after breakaway.

 

[Melkor]

The team is such a big ass, I don't even feel bad they got smoked the way they did this series. And. I'm ready to admit - that Mantha trade is a one huge lol. Maclellan got absolutely fleeced. Nobody gives a shit about Vrana but to waste all those picks. Bro you could have got a top-line center using that package plus just one more player. Now you're sitting there and looking like an idiot. Don't know how you can justify him keeping his job if he's doesn't pull off a miraculous trade this summer and gets them a real superstar

 

[Corby78]

Just cancel game five and save face. Tell em kuzy gave the entire team COVID

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Let’s be honest. GMBM took a roster that McPhee built and made some tweaks. He gets way too much credit. Meanwhile McPhee builds a roster from nothing and takes an expansion team to the finals in the first year and has them looking like a real contender again.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Good for Rask to break record.
