GDT: Caps @ Cbus - 7pm EST

[Firsov99]

Just got home. Should I rewind this one and enjoy?

Nah. I would just watch the highlights. We’ll have a tougher challenge tomorrow.

 

[Capitals40]

crap

 

[Hivemind]

Look, the coach gives CMM a powerplay shift for the last 20 seconds of a 7-2 game PP

 

[pman25]

Oshie you gotta be kidding me

 

[max21]

I didn’t even notice the Oshie injury

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

LTIR Oshie. Use the space and hopefully he will be ready in the playoffs.

 

[Corby78]

Never seen an empty net goal in a 7-2 game before. Good game VV, very solid

 

[RedRocking]

TJ please be alright - he finally got his legs under him. Frustrating.

 

[BallardEra]

TJ please be alright - he finally got his legs under him. Frustrating.

I think this will sadly be the norm for him going forward.

I think this will sadly be the norm for him going forward.

been reading that for 5 years….I guess sometime it would eventually be true….

 

[BallardEra]

He's 35 years old now so it shouldn't come as a real surprise.

 

[pman25]

Thing with Oshie is I think all of these are different injuries. He’s older but also it’s kinda flukey at this point

 

[tycoonheart]

When did Oshie leave with injury? Totally missed it.

 

[twabby]

Mantha. Dude has been fantastic.
Vanecek. He’s the #1, no need to acquire a starter any more.
McMichael. Good for him getting a fluke goal, but more importantly his line crushed it tonight. He seems like a better center than winger.
Ovechkin. I don’t care how he plays if he scores.

Team discipline. Probably just a fluke, but way too many careless and dumb penalties. I like when players embellish but that Dowd one was way too obvious!
Oshie’s injury. Don’t be hurt too badly, please.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

A healthy Mantha is way better than the people left on the rumored mill. Good time to get hot as a team.

Lot's of trash talk, and embelisment on both sides. Surprising bad blood between the two teams. What happened earlier in the season to cause this?

 

[lotty83]

Caps may very well end at the lowest seed but they’re playing very well and seem to be that hot team flying into the playoffs. I think they’re 6-0-1 since that slump ended?

Good shit. You love to see it.

 

[Roshi]

Yeah maybe hot now, but its 20 games until playoffs.

But atleast we are making it there !

Nice win. Nice run. Nice.

 

[ovikovy817]

Well almost a perfect night... If not TJ

 

[Fallschirmyager]

Good shit. You love to see it.

Including 2-0-1 against 3 playoff seeded teams. The two wins were against division leaders. Plus there is still a lot to clean up. So feeling much better about things in Months not name February.

 

[zappa4ever]

Caps have needed a laugher for a long time
2 goal lead early > 3 goal lead early for most of game = smileyface

Oshie's injury looked pretty innocent on replays, hopefully just a minor tweak and he took himself out for precautionary reasons, we shall see
