GDT: Edmonton Oilers at the Washington Capitals 11/24/23 3:00 pm

I just don't see why they can't healthy scratch Kuznetsov. It's not like a NTC prevents that.

 

[BallardEra]

For some reason this feels like the type of game where Edmonton scores 5-6 goals.

Hope I'm wrong.

Hendrix's time is coming, there's what 8 rookies/young bucks that are getting several games this season already, there is also value in just being with the big club (intangibles! xGrowth/nachos/gm)
Him getting 50 gms this year instead of 60 isn't going to ruin him

 

[bacchist]

Kuzy is being given every possible chance to revive his game because the replacement cost is so high.

You don't even have to replace him.

The perfect holiday game is a 9-8 win!

 

[tycoonheart]

I'm a few mimosas in! Ready!

 

[Devil Dancer]

This game could be 8-0 for either team or anything in between and i wouldn't be surprised. Hope the Caps get the better of it.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Shoooooot! This dude has a .865, shoot the damn puck!

 

[Capitals40]

What is going on with the broadcast?

He's almost 22 years old. He is likely entering his prime right about now. The clock is ticking.

Sonny McDavid doesn't wasnt simple goals.

Was going to take the family today but the cheapest ticket to get in is over $100 if you include fees and everything so I’m going to light a fire and watch it outside on my patio instead.

If the Oilers want to leave McDavid in DC and take Kuznetsov with them to Edmonton that’d be cool.

I sent my son and his friend today. Running my normal wall of TV’s in basement. College Football and NFL on the Satelite screens and Caps on the big screen.

 

[Acallabeth]

Not sure Draisatl even registered Abel-Kubel defending against him lol

 

[BallardEra]

Oilers came into this game having allowed a league worst 4.70 goals per game on the road this season.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Caps always seem like the magic elixir for any team that is struggling.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

The Return of the Bad Caps. At least for P1.

 

[DWGie26]

He's almost 22 years old. He is likely entering his prime right about now. The clock is ticking.

This cracks me up. so he is washed out at 22? He is right at where he should be. Especially the way the Caps grow their prospects. McMichael one year ahead of him and now a regular for first time. That means next year for Lapierre. There is a business and development part of the game as well.

I suspect Caps want to see Kuzy play before they go on the road. And reality is when Fever gets activated Lapierre is going back to Hershey (waiver free). Possible they try to slide Johansen back to Hershey and keep Lapierre, but i doubt it.

 

[BallardEra]

Way to give a team like the Oilers some confidence.

 

[Cappy76]

That looks high but our luck this year on reviews....

 

[Capsman]

We’re getting plastered. Wise group here predicting this, lol.

 

[twabby]

Washington's top 6 is dire defensively.

 

[troyerlaw]

Nice of jensen to sit and wait and see whether RNH could tap it in

 

[Coldplay619]

Jensen is no bueno.

 

[Capsman]

We categorically do not win any reviews.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Breakouts are terrible so they’re getting hemmed in their zone which means they are just dumping the puck in and easily surrendering possession. And of course their defensive zone coverage continues to be brutal.
