GDT: Caps Yotes - Later this evening

[CapitalsCupReality]

is this why Chicago let him go? He is gonna come in at $6m or thereabouts by the looks, and with mid term. He is doing a great job for us, but is he a 2C on a cup winning team? Not in my view, and he is too expensive to be a 3C as well

I‘ll believe it when I see it.

Can falling down be a stat? I'll never understand why Wilson falls down so much.

Chicago's offseason moves were about going full tank for Bedard and then the full rebuild around him. It doesn't seem like it was actually about the value or cost of any of the guys they traded or let walk. It was about collecting picks and being very suck.

Still bizarre they let Strome walk for nothing, though. You think they could have got a pick for his RFA rights, at the very least.

You either ride your edges or you skid long enough to see yourself become the zamboni

User named @kicksavedave starts GDT, Caps get a shutout.

Yep, that checks out!

You guys just heard him volunteer to do GDTs from now on, right? Cuz that's what I heard.

Bad opponent but nice to see Backstrom, Wilson, and Kuznetsov have dominant performances.

If they are going to continue chugging forward after this year they pretty much have to re-sign Orlov and Jensen.

Here are the list of goalies above Darcy Kuemper in terms of goals saved above expected:

Sorokin
Saros
Ullmark
Oettinger
Hellebuyck
Vasilevskiy

He was the best bet in free agency last offseason and so far he is right where he’s been for most of his career.

 

[tycoonheart]

Didn't watch the game coz it started after Wheel of Fortune which meant I was night night.

But nice to see a shutout!

I don’t get the hype with the Coyotes uniforms, other than that great game

Not my favorite by any means, but I do like them. Very unique color scheme.

Confirmed.

Saw the first period and went to bed. Nice to see this result.

He may be punching the ice with his knees?

hideous. those kits are ugly as f***. and this from a gal whose favorite color is orange.

Sure thing. Until they give up a goal, and then... I'm out, Jerry!

Chicago was tanking big time. They also traded DeBrincat.

He didn’t earn a qualifying offer…let’s not pretend they just cast him off to tank. He’s wasn‘t that consequential lol….

They sure aren't trying to win, call it what you want I guess.

I’m just saying he wasn’t that important to dump for the tank lol….they didn’t want to pony up a minimum of 3.6 for multiple years for what he brought them I guess. Their loss, our gain.

[Holtbyisms]

0% chance I even make it to puck drop tonight... Freaked out couple games ago down 0-3 and went to sleep only to find out at won in the AM. Maybe me sleeping through these is good karma.

Hah! Worked again!

This is ridiculous. He was one of their best players. Saying a 24 year old who scored 17 even strength goals (same as Patrick Kane, good for 3rd on the team) and 48 points in 69 games was inconsequential is just insane.

They didn't sign him precisely because he was consequential.

Best among mostly shit lol (I joke)? They didn’t want to make the financial commitment, and probably knew his contract demands, sniffed around the league for any potential trade partners and got no bites….

that dude was not the difference in getting the number 1OA lol….therefor yes inconsequential to the tank with their other moves lol….

regardless of why chicago didnt tender him, we arent as high in the standings as we are without him so thanks chicago for that!
