GDT: Caps @ Canes: Special Teams Wars Edition

[RodTheBawd]

What's irritating is if this team had any kind of GPS that told them where the net was, the Canes would have won this game. Grubauer was not good tonight. He was a rebound machine, but surprise NO ONE was there to get the rebound. Then all their shots were going way off net. He would have been beaten if it was any other team.

We did have guys getting some rebound opportunities, mostly in the first, a bit in the 3rd. Grubauer did a great job of sealing off anything low, which is where most rebound jam opportunities are. The missed nets, in particular by Eric, were just infuriating.

Rask had a rebound early he elevated and grubauer saved it with his stick shaft.

I hear ya.

Back to hockey, how long before Rod switches up the PP a bit with as bad as teams are cheating to press Faulk? The Caps were probably the most aggressive on him so far, which should be opening up a lot of passing lanes, yet I saw no adjustment.

I have to think that it was an autocorrect thing It simply makes no sense as a nickname.

Oh it makes sense. To a crazy person.

Grubauer autos to "grubs yet" or "grub some" for me.

I remember when an NDP candidate didn't know what Auschwitz was and also thought it looked like a penis.

Those...

Those was the times.

Well they went something like 10 for 25 (no idea on the actual numbers) before the Caps game. I doubt changes come before they get totally stonewalled for a while.
