Elvis in goal; Ovi hat trick

 

[Cowumbus]

Debating whether to go or not?

 

[Columbus Jack]

Marchenko and Guadreau did well but it's best if we see Bemstrom instead

 

[614 CBJ]

Is Hextall doing play by play?

Debating whether to go or not?

Ovi's never had a five goal game before, don't miss out on history!

Ovi's never had a five goal game before, don't miss out on history!

Will Elvis tell his teammates to not defend after the 4th goal?

 

[CBJx614]

I actually like these lines, it would be nice if that "4th line" could click. Might make a nice 2/3rd line, I'd call the 3S. Speed (Foudy) Size( Silly) and skill (Marchenko)

Elvis in goal; Ovi hat trick

O/U is 6.5.

I did bet the over tonight.

 

[summer tooth]

Going to set a low bar for this game - score at least 1 goal and give up 5 or fewer.

 

[NotCommitted]

CBJ 3-0, Elvis with the shutout. It's the beginning of the new beginning!

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

If nothing else, we can watch our Czech guys (get beat too).

 

[JlindiesANA]

This games on ESPN if anyone doesn’t know by now. Pretty excited to watch this one. Haven’t watched Ovechkin this year

Hat giveaway tonight for first 10,000 fans

Of course I ended up behind a trio of boisterous Caps fans claiming tonight will be the night CBJ regrets the giveaway.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

Johnny shoots when KJ was spurting pretty nicely on the flank... Still, a good start.

Edit: Maybe I'll jinx it, but this does look like a surprisingly good start. Slick puck movement, some chances already (Laine shoots it wide, Meyer up close, some shots from traffic...).

1-0 Johnny! A broken play and Bemström makes some effort to get the puck to Johnny who scores up close.

This line of Nyquist-Roslovic-Laine doens't look bad at all. Laine has made a couple of very slick (for him) moves, maybe he's been practicing with Johnny, hah. Bemström doesn't look out of place on the first line either. That said I kinda feel this has a lot to do with the Capitals as an opponent.

 

[NotCommitted]

Caps don't look good at all.

 

[pete goegan]

Fewer fancy pass attempts and more shots on goal would be nice.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

Takes around 10 shifts for Kuraly line to get a good 16 mins of ice time since they always get stuck on D-zone for a minute or two

 

[MAHJ71]

Stayed out of the box and good things happened..

 

[Cowumbus]

Bemstrom assist, nice.

 

[ThirdPeriodTurtle]

1-1 Caps tie it, a lucky bounce and Oshie hammers it home. Shame really, we had some good chances and Laine and Roslovic almost scored earlier on a nice play (that got broken at the end).

 

[Cowumbus]

PP looks/is better without Laine, I’ll die on this hill.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

The power play is just an absolute embarrassment. Washington has had better chances than we have.

We don’t do anything except for try to set him up when he’s out there.every team in the NHL knows this, but Lars keeps up the insanity.

 

[DoingItCoolKiwi]

The power play is just an absolute embarrassment. Washington has had better chances than we have.

Every piece of the PP has changed since Torts except Larsen. Either the team is cursed or Larsen is the issue

 

[MoeBartoli]

These last 20 minutes have more looked the Jackets I know
