GDT: G75: Capitals @ Canadiens | 4/16/22 | 7:00p ET

I'm happy we'll never have to play against Martin St Louis again as a player.

Shrimpy was a pain in the ass..

 

[Capitals40]

That was cheap

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Don't get hurt Mantha, that isn't your job and you normally get hurt fighting.

 

[VainGretzky]

As an Oiler fan I would rather see Ovie get to 50 again than Draisaitl hitting 60

 

[Corby78]

Bad start, blah defense, but got two.

 

[Firsov99]

Just checked the stats: the 21/22 (3.12 gpg) is the highest scoring season since 95/96 (3.14).

So it is written, so it shall be done….

 

[caps4cup]

My comment was more on his defensive play. Because he is a defenseman

Okay? I think his defense is great too. He’d be a 50+ point Dman if he was on PP1.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I know we got blown out against Toronto, but folks are forgetting who the Caps beat previously. Those were important wins and they are scoring goals now. Just get two more points to focus on the playoffs. I don't want to be waiting the rest of the season. We need to rest some guys.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Lots of lopsided games lately. But nice to be on the right side of a couple

 

[Firsov99]

He is such a great pick up. As long as he stays healthy.

I would like to see both. Both are dynamic players and I don't expect Draisaitl to score close to 50 when he's Ovy's age. As a fan of both franchises, it's a fun thing to watch.

 

[g00n]

Good think we didn't panic.

 

[tycoonheart]

What a strange game. We were thoroughly out played the first period and some of second, and VV kept us in the game. Then we actually start playing well but VV let's some softies in.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I had concerns early, but he's doing what his job nicely. He's also using his big frame and that can pay dividends in the playoffs with screens and getting under the opposing goalie's skin.

 

[tycoonheart]

Schultz -4. Oshie and Nicky -1.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

He has the shot and sneaky moves to a PP1 guy.

Ovie is the best sniper of all time and I watched Gretzky whole career I would rank them like this

Ovie
Bossy
Gretzky
Lemieux
Hull

 

[notDkristich]

Sit Backstrom in the playoffs. Yeah, I said it.

 

[caps4cup]

Schultz was -4 tonight and was -3 against Toronto. I think he’s actually been a lot better than last year although his points and plus minus don’t reflect that. Just looked at the box score and did a double take thinking it must’ve been from the Toronto game.

Mantha has been so physical since coming back from shoulder. Which is surprising. but i love it.

Love his hands. So nifty for a big guy. I was afraid that he would be done for the season, but he is proving me wrong.

I'm 59 I watched gretzky his entire career. He could have scored 1200 goals. He chose not to. He had many snipers on his team..he used them

The next game is against Colorado. He is going to have a hard time again.

We get to see our good friend Bura...I'm happy for him. He has been a productive player for the avs...terribly bad trade.
