GDT: G40: Rags @ Caps - 1pm-ish EST

[Eirikrautha]

Our problem isn't old players, or bad players, or even ambivalent players... It's stupid players. Why do we make low percentage passes in our own zone? It's just f'ing STUPID! They don't need the fountain of youth... they need a brain transplant...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Comedy of f’ing errors….D pair…laughable….CMM’s “clear”….laughable…

 

[Langway]

The Caps reside on their back foot...and not in a smart Lemaire sort of way.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

We have to score 3+ now….game over.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

There is no calm or poise in our own zone….chaotic activity.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

I’d like to see Dube or Frank get a call up.

Reshuffling the same dudes and hoping for something different isn’t working.

 

[HTFN]

Pacioretty has man strength, he makes more space for himself than I expected despite old legs.

Yeah, seems like the entire team struggles to make quick decisions, which exacerbates the scarcity of talent on the roster.

I thought Lindgren got hurt again when he was heading to the bench but apparently a skate issue.

Phew.

 

[aonb]

my first game since forever and god, we suck at hockey! oshie looks absolutely done as a player, i hope he realise it in the near future and hangs em up, health is much more important. 92 can GTFO, he isn't even pretending to try/care, go back to russia dude

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Well, with the NFL game getting moved to Monday afternoon at least the caps don’t have to compete with the NFL playoffs tomorrow

 

[Langway]

Interesting decision by Bear to try to defend a behind the net passing lane rather than the net front.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Lavi got Mike Peca back. No wonder we can’t win face offs lol

 

[trick9]

Which to show up first?

Pulse or a faceoff win?

 

[Neil Racki]

Aggressive dangerous decision by Jensen but nice to see his skating look like last year Jensen

 

[aonb]

when trocheck is taking a FO they should just hand the puck to the rags

 

[mad4comp]

Ethan Bear is absolutely horrendous....

I think his overall play is decidedly worse than last season.

It's his decision making. It's terrible.

 

[Corby78]

Is it bad that every time Mantha scores, I’m more excited about his trade value going up, then him actually helping the team?

You aren't alone.

 

[Neil Racki]

Good shift for Kuz … 2 nice touches .. baby steps

 

[Cappy76]

I can't stand when Ray is part of the broadcast crew. Wonder if it's PTSD from EA NHL games...

 

[HTFN]

Kuzy wtf, that was freakish.

Please just stay on the board.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Why does Kuznetsov only try 2% of the time?
