GDT: Jackets vs Caps

[Viqsi]

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

There's a part of me that's considering the idea that maybe the reason why our guys look so tentative out there on the PP is because we've only got the one point guy with our 1-3-1, and therefore there's more concern about counterattacks and thus more worry about the puck. But that's mostly a guess.

 

[Cyclones Rock]

Might as well mark them down for 10 points in that 4 games.

In all seriousness, are you prepared for that 6 year extension for Murray?

I have access to an ample supply of liquor. So yes.

All of that seems entirely feasible and good insight. Just wish we would fix it instead of having us have to psychoanalyze the hell out of our players!

Of course, thanks Wennberg

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

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

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

Washington had 2 glorious chances because of Jones misplays

You need to go back to that PP goal and explain to me what Werenski was doing and who he was covering.

Sedlak was so low, covering for Werenski.

 

[MoeBartoli]

Duclair!!

 

[MFRONE]

What was that?

 

[Viqsi]

IL DUCE!

 

[JacketFanInFL]

Duclair contract is highway robbery

 

[MFRONE]

That was a bizarre sequence

 

[Halfboard]

He scores!!.......He’s hurt!!....

Maybe not.........whew

 

[KJ Dangler]

Duclair May have gotten Werenskied that shift, hope not , looked like a shoulder injury

 

[aRussian]

So do we want to begin speculating if Duclair will be within our price range come time to re-sign? Guy has been strong overall. Not hot-and-cold as some of our other players have been

 

[MFRONE]

Jackets need to be careful. Washington will get another PP soon

 

[Viqsi]

Is it just me or is Anderson having an unusually rough game defensively today? He seems almost slow on his skates or something.

 

[MFRONE]

He’s a RFA next season, makes the contract an even bigger steal

 

[Zarathustra]

He's an RFA, so they should get something done if they want to re-sign him.

I mean we should have plenty of cap room with Bob and Panarin gone

 

[Viqsi]

If someone had told me that tonight would come down to a battle of special teams and that we'd be in a good position to win as a result I confess I would have been very skeptical.

I had forgotten about the RFA status. Even better! Guy is sure making me hope he's in consideration for that. Feels like he could be an integral part of the team versus a point-getter (Gagner v. Duclair)

 

[Doggy]

Is it just me or does it seem like there is no sense of urgency on the Caps part since we scored the go ahead goal. Both teams just skating up and down the ice but feels like they are at 3/4 speed.

 

[MFRONE]

That was a clear interference penalty against Panarin

 

[Viqsi]

They do seem a little discombobulated.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

What in the heck was that music before the face-off?

 

[Robert]

Duclair is looking fantastic.... Bobs looking like the guy we need, combined with Dallas and tonight his head's on solid now, he's sharp as a tack tonight.... I think he likes that mask...

Jackets look solid tonight with Cam out....

Two PPG's.... that's important.

 

[Viqsi]

Yeah, we may want to rework the PP. We're much faster with our passes at 5-on-5.
