GDT: Game #29 of the season Capitals visit Ducks 10:00 PM ET on 12 - 6 - 19

[The Midnight Burrito]

This is an unwinnable game realistically, but that doesn't mean they can't hit to hurt. Tonight's no show so far is super disappointing.

 

[DigiDuck]

Rico's been so unlucky lately.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Great shot by Henrique. PP looks dangerous again tonight.

 

[robbieboy3686]

Not a dirty hit, but I hope this motivates us to actually throw our weight around a bit.

Big + 1 we have showed way to much respect to these pos

 

[robbieboy3686]

Except he's one of the only forwards that goes to the net

Goes to the front of the net means something when some actual goals result from it.

not sure why, but i'm having a hard time enjoying these games this season. it's not as bad as it was last year, but just seeing nothing happen besides missed opportunity after missed opportunity is just not fun. I really wish the kids were just better

Meh ive enjoyed a majority of the games... the team generates chances.... and keeps games close/exciting... just don't think we have the overall talent to win those close games.

Not really on the players and not really on Eakins... that's on BM.

The holes on the roster were obvious... and he decided to go with the young guys instead of finding a Montour replacement, and a top 6 winger.... and the youngsters havnt really panned out.

2 goals were scored a couple games ago from terrry going to the net.

to each their own I guess. I don't find Steel screwing up a one timer constantly to be exciting, or Terry deke into the zone just to lose the puck entertaining, or seeing nearly everyone have no ability to capitalize on an open net fun; just frustrating at this point that none of them seem to be making vast improvements offensively. They're better than at the start of the season, but not to the degree we need them to be if they are the future forward core of this team.

Also our goaltending being just average this season hasn't helped either.

 

[Ducks DVM]

f*** these officials. This is clear interference.

 

[dracom]

**** these officials. This is clear interference.

caps are REALLY taking liberties with borderline late hits tonight.

 

[Ducks DVM]

There you go, Grant. If they want cheap, let’s be cheap.

I was hyped because of how the team was performing last year when Bob took over. The team was better defensively last year and was better on the PP unit. This year, our PP stinks worse than a Carlyle lead Ducks team last year and our defense is meh due to a lot of injuries. Montour doesn't play a great defensive game and this year with the Sabres, Buffalo is 4-8-3 with Monty in the lineup.

An improved PP production alone can actually do more wonders in the win column. Yet the ES is just meh and there are no aggressive hitters on the team outside of Getz and the fourth line. Getting Manson back gives us another aggressive hitter and improves our defense.

Idk what your expectations were.... but the team is basically where they should be

 

[Ducks DVM]

Hathaway making sure that there were linesmen present to cover him when he spits again.

Textbook unsportsmanlike, dipshit.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

Lol this league can get f***ed.

yeah missing manson/Lindholm for significant time this year has hurt the flow of the team.... I think wed be in a much better situation if we had em for those games

man refs really screwing this game up

 

[DigiDuck]

These officials can get bent. Hathaway being a little punk out. there

 

[bumperkisser]

jesus miller come on

 

[KaseMeOutside]

Embarrassing job by the refs tonight

 

[Ducks DVM]

Ugh. Miller got caught.

 

[McDonald19]

Hayward is fired up.

 

[DigiDuck]

Maybe they’ll finally wake up though.

 

[la patineuse]

These refs suck. They let the Caps interfere and make late hits with no repercussions. The Caps are a dirty team.
