GDT: G20: Caps @ Quacks - 10pm EST

[notDkristich]

Oh, Carlson put one on him for once?

Carlson is OV's kryptonite

 

[um]

Our fourth line has taken a step back.

 

[HTFN]

might as well just challenge for interference if possible

 

[DWGie26]

Not worth the PP risk

 

[troyerlaw]

Gotta trade darcy the first chance we get.

Kuz too

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

Double shift that 3rd line

 

[stephenball]

Strome played in this game? Damn, please put him back on OV's line

I need him to replace Kuzy on Ovechkin’s line and on PP1

 

[HTFN]

Not worth the PP risk

what's the risk? wouldn't they just lose a timeout?

the same timeout they took? could just do the gameplanning during the review and same same.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I love road warrior Caps.

 

[DWGie26]

Lose challenge and ANA gets PP

 

[twabby]

My game puck goes to Tom Wilson for a hat trick, but more importantly two (2) power play goals which seemed impossible before tonight.

Honorable mention to Anthony Mantha for a 70% xGF evening and a goal.

 

[notDkristich]

Two D failed to pressure down low, and then DK pulls a DK. They really want OV to score tonight

 

[Coldplay619]

Darcy Threeormore

 

[notDkristich]

whoops, delayed stream. gg

 

[DWGie26]

2 point night

 

[twabby]

Safe to say Lindgren should be the temporary #1 for the near future. Things can certainly change later in the year but he's the much better goaltender right now.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Darcy Threeormore

Kuemper fault this game ended close. I don't know what it is but he's needs to be sharper.

 

[DWGie26]

He did a Sammy at least twice this game with a lost stick. Didn’t control the puck. He may need to watch a few games. Had to play in B2B. But lets ride Chucky as primary.

You could call that repeated offense.

I think it's a sure thing Lindgren will get the start in Vegas.

I would give Lindgren every 2 starts to Kuemper's 1.

 

[troyerlaw]

I’d be fine with sitting NAK or Milano for a game or two once Oshie returns

 

[SherVaughn30]

I wouldn't. NAK/Milano play a faster game than Oshie. I love Oshie, but he's just not a good fit for this roster.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Team simply isn’t youthful enough or fast enough to hang w the new NHL on these back to backs.

Worse than that, their composite sticks won’t fare well with all this travel, and I’m concerned they didn’t shower well enough last night to be clear headed.

So, I expect a smelly bench, lots of broken sticks, and a solid loss to close their 2023 California experience.

Damned it. Foiled again. Stupid Caps!

 

[alphabetical]

Kuznetsov is unplayable

Kuzy's reminding me of Michael "circles" Nylander during his second visit to the district.

 

[zappa4ever]

5 or 6 into the 3rd the Caps started fumbling pucks, missing passes, giveaways... getting gassed over the 3gms in 4 nights and all the PK was taking a toll too

Good thing Willy got that 5th, writing was on the wall that ANA was getting the mo'
Another character win taking care of a back-to-back (again!)

12-6-2 at the 20 game split is pretty banging
