GDT: Caps-Flyers GDT

[AlexBrovechkin8]

They certainly don't seem interested in just rolling over.

Yeah they have some give a shit in that locker room, you have to give them that. Their margin for error is essentially nil but they’ve earned the right to see this season through I think. Still definitely interested in hockey trades but not interested in dumping anything not nailed down for whatever they can get.

The game isn't over but I'm happy to award my game puck to Dylan Strome for a 3 point effort and a positive xG differential.

Honorable mentions to Alex Alexeyev, Sonny Milano, and Alex Ovechkin.

Those are some interesting honorable mentions.

Where’s the love for Chucky? He stayed awake while everyone else slept in the 1st

 

[Langway]

How poopy is the Metro? Geez.

 

[DWGie26]

They just desperately need a #1, Strome is great, but I don't think you win a cup with him as your first line center.

Agreed. I’d like to target someone in FA or at draft. One of McMichael or Lappy will have to play 4C and be ready to move up. Especially if we want to compete next year.

Lapierre is a candidate.

Short memory. 8-3 Detroit just 3 days ago.

Lappy continuing to improve at the NHL level and this time of the season makes us reflect what if the Caps had scored on the PP more earlier in the season and some of those OTs. The TDL should be a good one for the NHL this year.

I’d still listen to offers on Dowd, Mantha, and Edmunson (who played well tonight). Say no to Chucky offers, but offer to retain on Kuemper?

 

[Marshall]

Fun win.

That was going to be a tough game either way being back to back and the roll Detroit is on. I still have nightmares of that Detroit goal song.

 

[hockeykicker]

flyers play tomorrow vs sens and caps play sunday vs coyotes

 

[um]

Short memory. 8-3 Detroit just 3 days ago.

that back to back success was unsustainable.

If they can do something like with Sandin last year I would be ok. Add more speed and youth to compliment the other youngsters.

Yotes gonna win, so they won’t be coming in Sunday with a 15 game losing streak

Absolutely and the Yotes usually show up against the Caps. Don't want another game like the Oilers/Caps earlier this season lol.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

How poopy is the Metro? Geez.

Very. A little while ago I said the Metro being ass and the East being weak in general was the main hesitation for me in wanting to sell. They have better goaltending than probably 5 or 6 of the current playoff teams in the East. They lack top end talent but have very good depth. They have some size that should translate well to the playoffs if they could sneak in.

That 2-6-2 stretch is still likely going to be too much to overcome but give them credit where credit is due.

I’d listen to offers on all of them and Patches. In order Dowd (value), Patches, Edmunson, and Mantha. Mantha pretty damn important, but Caps should resign him for 2x if he stays past TDL.

Love seeing Leonard get 2 tonight (including a PP goal). Get that man to Washington!

Where is he playing right now?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

The response is the positive part…

Boston College

Is Lappy now the youngest Caps player to assist an OV goal?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Is Lappy now the youngest Caps player to assist an OV goal?

Good trivia question! I believe Wilson would be, no?

- He entered the league at the age of 19.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Is Lappy now the youngest Caps player to assist an OV goal?

Umm...maybe in this game?
