GDT: Jackets vs Caps

[MFRONE]

Jackets have all the momentum and Wennberg decides to take a stupid penalty when tbe Jackets have numbers back

 

[MFRONE]

Of course, thanks Wennberg

It would help if Sedlak would have not been out of position.

Quick forceful passes open up a GLORIOUS shot lane. PP needs to take note. There were no slow shovels in that PP

 

[KJ Dangler]

Nice job Alex , let’s see if you get the bench next game

Really nobody was covering Niskanen or Ovechkin there?! Just pathetic penalty killing.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Why did we let Backstrom just weave his way closer and closer with no pressure. That really left the easy chance for Ovie.

 

[MFRONE]

Ovechkin didn’t score and he was covered

Overcompensating for the low pass at the goal line. Wish CBJ could force positioning like that. It was less about CBJ and more about skillful PP. They had lots of players stacked low and we were forced to collapse to prevent short pass-one timer lanes. They got pass to faceoff dot with clear look on net. All she wrote.

Don't take stupid penalties, they know what they are doing.

Edit... should have said Niskanen as MFrone pointed out....same point though regarding permitting the freewheeling Baskstrom

Penalty kill is so beta. Zero aggression. Just waiting around for them to shoot.

 

[MFRONE]

Stop taking stupid penalties

 

[MoeBartoli]

Big kill. We need to stay out of the sin bin now

 

[MFRONE]

Could the Jackets get Dubi or Foligno out there on the PK instead of Sedlak?

Current emphasis on blocking shots. I would like to see more aggressive play to PREVENT shots, myself. Not overzealous "chase the puck" play, but "close the ice" aggression. Don't give them room to work pass lanes so easily. Force puck carrier to choose between 1-2 players and have teammates ready to jump lanes of those 1-2 options.

 

[JacketFanInFL]

I mist have missed the human scumbag on skates was suspended 20 games. About damn time.

Sedlak being in defensive position is what kept Ovie from having a nice little rebound one-timer on that last kill. I'd like to see those two out there as well, but the timing of your criticism is a little odd.

 

[MFRONE]

Jones got abused by Oshie

He got sucked in too deep on the PP goal, left way too much room between himself and the point guy and it cost them a goal

 

[MFRONE]

Werenski wasn’t the problem in the top pairing...

Washington had 2 glorious chances because of Jones misplays

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Dump and chase with the delayed penalty after a line change. Brilliant.

 

[CBJ goalie]

That save by Bobrovsky on the one timer as he's going from one side of the net to the other certified he is in the zone.

 

[aRussian]

Beerman is working his way into replacing Sedlak. Limited minutes but making decent puck decisions while out there

 

[MoeBartoli]

Agree. And he has more puck skill than Sedlak.

 

[aRussian]

The two PPs look like polar opposites. As if one is a top of league PP and the other is the cellar dwellat of the NHL

 

[Viqsi]

That would have been the time for the criticism, then - not after a redeeming play that definitely prevented a goal.
