GDT: Lamentably, it is yet another Washington Capitals Gameday (8:30 PM in Calgary)

[CapsSkins]

Finding myself reasonably invested in the outcome tonight, which is the first time I’ve said that in a while.

jensen went right to the locker room

jensen went right to the locker room

Listening to game. How’d he get hurt

3. Smother the forecheck by engaging in active wheels

First few shifts the Capitals got hemmed in. Need better wheels.

 

[RedRocking]

Jensen back on the ice

 

[bacchist]

They could be playing with a bit more urgency.

 

[Cappy76]

Of course 2 of 3 on NHL network the same week I cancel my direct TV stream subscription....

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Not the best start.

Oshie and Ovi need to move their feet.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

iirc Mangiapane has bedeviled the Caps in games between the teams the past few seasons.

 

[twabby]

Rasmus Sandin with a great look

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Woot 1-0 nice passing

 

[CapsSkins]

Stromer! What a snipe and great sequence after surviving for much of the period.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Nice play. Strome had all day to set up and choose his shot.

 

[Firsov99]

Great shift ending with a sweet shot. 1-0.

 

[DWGie26]

Kept the puck in the zone forever. Great patience. Nice snipe!

Nice play. Strome had all day to set up and choose his shot.

 

[Pigskin]

up by 1, but getting out-played ... cmon lads

They played much better the last few mins.

 

[CapsSkins]

Up 1-0 heading into first intermission any game on the road, much less in the last game of a long road trip, is a win no matter how ugly the period looked.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

This run is starting to remind me of BBs 1st season when we won like 8 games in a row to get in the playoffs. Lost game 7 to the flyers and won the presidents the season after.

 

[bacchist]

Miro has to learn how to avoid those.

2. Douse the opposition with point shots

Drawn penalty because Jensen peppered Wolf with a point shot.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Damn that was a sweet pass by patches.
OVIE GOAL 2-0!!!

 

[CapsSkins]

Ovie!!!

 

[RedRocking]

Patches did something!

 

[twabby]

Drawn penalty because Jensen peppered Wolf with a point shot.

PP goal which can be directly traced to a point shot.
