GDT: Dallas @ Washington | 12/15/22 | 7:00p ET

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Possibly the most anticipated homestand ever kicks off tonight. Eller is back, NAK is out. Top six Mantha

Edit: NAK is in, Milano is out with a non-Covid illness. Protas on the second line with Kuzy and Mantha.

Number 801 incoming

DET game being 3 games away just might be too far away, that would be the storybook 801/802, the chef's kiss as they say these days

Seems like a guarantee it'll be on this 3gm homestand, OV's heating up and potentially going on his annual GPG tear

Lots of positives for the club right now, and getting close to getting the band back together, we got everybody except Matt Guitar Murphy and Blue Lou and we're getting them soon

I’m hoping for Saturday night against the Leafs.

I’m a sucker for hockey night in Canada.

If he did it then it would be against Samsonov too which would be kind of funny.

"How much for the little girl?"

 

[Hivemind]

Gonna be late for this one tonight. Hopefully I can avoid spoilers for myself if Ovie does score.

 

[max21]

Dallas at home

 

[twabby]

Still feeling cruddy today, so hopefully that means another hat trick from Ovie!

It’d be nice to get 2 points tonight and keep the train rolling. After the next two games against DAL and TOR, their schedule is a cupcake for a few weeks.

 

[Marshall]

Decent spot for the Caps, but I have a lot of respekt for Dallas, and it's the first home game back. I could see this going awry.

 

[BallardEra]

Kind of surprised that NAK isn't back in. He was buzzing the whole game against Chicago and looked great on the fore check.

Not expecting an Ovechkin goal tonight as I feel an emotional letdown might occur after that hatty and #800.

Hope I'm wrong though.

its a real test, as is the Leafs game on Saturday.

Here's hoping the boys can focus on winning and aren't distracted by the Ovie stuff.

Amazing pic.

Yea, can’t take any goals for granted against this team, and Oettinger.

Same here Sonny. Same here.

I’d say the Ovi milestones have galvanized the team. The team clearly rallies behind its leader, you can see it on the ice and in the locker room.

 

[Dibbs31]

This team just looks so much better. Cant wait for Wilson to come back and hopefully a 75% Backstrom

 

[Dibbs31]

LOL that's not a trip on Irwin. Maybe Lindgren but he was playing the puck in the crease

 

[Langway]

Going to need to get greasy against Oettinger.

 

[usiel]

Man there does seem to be an extra buzz in the building.

 

[RandyHolt]

If Gordie is in the house I would like to see someone go for a Gordie. And for my Ovi hat trick bet to come to fruition.
