GDT: Caps vs Jackets 7pm Jan 5 2023

[kicksavedave]

Not worried about Willie. He’ll be a force again. But truly hope that the Backy we know will be back.

REcent reports say he's moving like the old Backie, which means, no longer moving... like me.

Connor Brown too, sucks for him.

I’m hoping Connor Brown comes back next year on a cheap short term deal but yeah, it sucks he got hurt. That said, if he doesn’t get hurt maybe this team doesn’t claim Milano.

Canada wins dang

Gudbranson didn’t look that good for his Caps tryout

 

[hockeykicker]

Points in 14 of last 15 games for the caps

Doesn't he have 3 more years at 4 mil per?

We were all ready to fire Lavi, the whole staff and Bmac about what, 5, 6 weeks ago?

I still wish to fire Lavi sometimes solely for his 3v3 decisions!

Want to see AA get a few more games in a row. Nice two points. Was kinda looking like a trap game in the first. Mantha/Protas/Hathaway line was impressive.

Yes he does. Also yikes:

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Lavi for Jack Adams?

 

[pman25]

Need to find something to complain about but Sheary was the bad forward tonight. I thought Milano looked really good. Strome silly. And the 4th line was strong, I think Protas is better at center? Or maybe just more noticeable with a 6’6” dude in the middle

This looks worse than my high school graduation ranking. I mean I don't know fancy stats, but this appears... bad?

The negative GAR axis on the bottom had to be extended downward in order to fit how bad he is at ES!

There’s speculation that Gaudreau+Gudbranson was a package deal, which is the only thing that can explain the Gudbranson contract.

FWIW, Carolina with 67 SOG tonight and still lose 5-3 to Nashville.

He’s twabbys guy

must....stifle...urge.....to gloat

yeah, lots of haters on Lavi and BMGM. I was one with you From beginning.

There will still be twists and turn as there always is but long game. I have believed but like others I want to see playoff success. But the system looks so damn good right now.

There will be more haters when the moves come Across the next two weeks but I trust Lavi and GMBM.

Buy that goalie a beer!

why not this season? can still score some playoff goals

I don’t know how he gets in the lineup when he finally makes it back unless there are mass injuries. We have a lot of depth right now that is within the system.

Saros.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I like this score in the second and keep piling it on. Two regulation, divisional points and folks are scared in the East now. Ovy keeps rolling.

I thought he got better as the game went on. But so did the team overall. But yes, keep playing him so we can decide if we need a RD or he can play there. I’d rather he play.

I have long supported Lavi. Blaine not so much but we have gotten better on PP.

Carolina could lose in tic-tac-toe and I'd be happy.

Halfway through the season and the Caps sit on 50 pts, even with the injuries and early season hot garbage. Ovi's on a tear and they're a win out of second in the Metro. Crazy times but enjoying the ride!
