GDT: Cbus vs Caps. 7pm.

[Langway]

I want to see more shots and not fancy passing.

Looping perimeter play not your thing?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Looping perimeter play not your thing?

Nope. I'm a go to the net person.

 

[PlushMinus]

I'd like to see fewer "expected goals" and more actual goals

 

[PlushMinus]

How can the (arguably) greatest goal scorer in the history of the game be so f***ing bad at breakaways?? He NEVER scores on them.

 

[Calicaps]

The entire bottom 6 is above 90% xGF. I call that The Phillips Effect

And they've produced zero actual points

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Has Ovechkin hit the net on a single powerplay shot from the turret position this year?

 

[PlushMinus]

According to ESPN box score, Caps have had ZERO shots in 8 minutes of PP time.

 

[Calicaps]

Has Ovechkin hit the net on a single powerplay shot from the turret position this year?

seems like no

 

[PlushMinus]

Has Ovechkin hit the net on a single powerplay shot from the turret position this year?

I can only recall one occassion

 

[Capitals40]

The penalty machine

 

[Empty Goal Net]

I know it's Cbus, but Chuckie Sideburns is looking like a decent backup tonight. Several nice saves. Hasn't allowed potentially deflating goals.

 

[Calicaps]

Boumedienne, huh? didn't see that coming.

 

[Eirikrautha]

Kuzy must owe a bookie tons for all those years of blow, because he takes penalties at the worst possible time every single game. Just lazy and sloppy...

 

[Capitals40]

Dang

 

[RedRocking]

Great game from Jensen. Nice to see him looking like himself.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Wilson throwing two big hits tonight. The first time I can remember two of anything thunderous in the same game much less same period in several seasons.

 

[PlushMinus]

Boumedienne, huh? didn't see that coming.

If he wasn't part of the Cbus staff I doubt they'd have even made it the trivia question.

Does anybody here even remember him?

Unfortunately, yes.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Boumedienne, huh? didn't see that coming.

Pretty sad when we can remember the goal lol.

 

[PlushMinus]

Lindgren has saved our ass tonight.

Probably fair to say if Kuemper was in goal we'd have lost

 

[Eirikrautha]

74 casually tosses the puck behind the net, it gets picked off, and Lindgren needs to bail us out with a huge save. It's the vets that are playing stupid tonight.

Aaaand then we get the garbage uneven penalties...

 

[Capsman]

What a horrible pass by Carlson a few moments ago. Not sure what he was thinking.

And did we just give them a PP? Unbelievably stupid.

 

[RedRocking]

Sandin’s best of the season?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Wow Lindgren needs more time.

 

[Calicaps]

Love that

Sandin’s best of the season?

absolutely
