GDT: G78: Capitals @ Red Wings | 4/9/24 | 7:00p ET | ESPN

I bet on Detroit. I bought a much needed win. Eases the pain of losing greenbacks that dont buy dick anyways.

The emotional hedge my friend

I’ve seen that movie a million times but normally Washington is playing the role of Detroit in this film. Strange.

Brutal schedule coming up the next three games before they finish with Philly but they control their own destiny. I think before Game 1 of the season no one saw them being in a playoff spot this late in the season so that’s neat.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Feels wrong, but go Habs. They play the Isles twice to end the season.

 

[Midnight Judges]

The Caps got severely outplayed but Carbery had a very conservative game plan and it worked. Defensemen weren't pinching much. There were some opportunities to score missed because of that but it appears that disciplined approach paid dividends today. -That and Lindgren stealing the game.

This was the director’s cut.

Have two young inexperienced Dee men in there. They are not going to be that active. Liked what i saw from both. More Iorio.

I am OK with that approach. We lose against Detroit if we open it up. Our offense is bone dry right now and we can’t afford to give up goals.

 

[StrikingDistance]

Patty Kane, the vanilla ice of nhl players, gives ovie another GWG.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Still can't believe we won this game! We weren't supposed to win this by any means.

Thanks Chuckie! Find a way to win. Check!

We both know it well!

Someone had to take one for the team to break our losing streak. I'll always want a punchers chance in the playoffs vs tanking for a kid to develop 4 years from now, especially to get Ovi another chance or 2 in the big dance.

The odds were against the Caps given the last game in Detroit and the recent losing streak.

 

[troyerlaw]

That was a nice pass from Oshie on the Ovie goal. Used the boards perfectly as 8 entered the zone

 

[DWGie26]

I have never seen forward minutes spread out so evenly. Our minutes leader was Beck Malenstyn at 16:53 followed by Dowd at 16:39 and Strome at 16:19. Good recipe.

Defense more wonky with JC74 playing almost 30 and Jensen paying 25. Iorio under 10 and Alexyev 15.

 

[bacchist]

That was a game of hockey

 

[Corby78]

Ovie scored, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less

 

[Calicaps]

Ovie scored, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less

also a regulation win. it weren't pretty but it's the first in a while. enjoy it.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Ovie scored, that is all. Nothing more, nothing less

Come on… you don’t take pleasure in sinking the Wings’ playoff hopes? We might not make it in the end, but that’s sweet vengeance for the 8-3 loss against them.

Iorio is interesting. I liked his callup last year and he fills a big void on this team if he pans out.

 

[trick9]

Nice win.

Most importantly, they finally snapped that losing streak so it's time for a winning streak again.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Alexeyev looks like he’s taking the next step. Loved watching him bully Fabri towards the end of the game. He has size, strength, and skill — just needs more experience to gain confidence.

 

[max21]

I’m so horny, go caps

 

[Toby91ca]

It was Milano getting to the bench. He did tag up before going off. It was right in front of the linesman as well, and he showed no offside.

Carlson, by the way, did the smart thing - he looked the Milano’s way briefly and paused for a moment before entering the zone.

I think you are talking about something else, I can’t remember who it was and was probably a guy going to the bench but the puck was out near center and he was in the zone by the face-off dot and going towards the bench but go nowhere near the blue line by the time the puck entered the zone, it wasn’t a tag up situation

I thought he was solid. Didn’t make any glaring mistakes.

I am talking about the zone entering right before Strome’s goal. I have a digital DVR, so looked at it very closely.

The puck entered the zone while Milano was still in it. That’s why he rushed to the blue line to tag up first before going to the bench. Right in front of the official. Carlson entered the zone after Milano’s tag up.
