Give Protas the first star

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Awesome unselfish play Protas.

 

[Rayquaza64]

what a f***ing play alexei holy shit

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Protas is a unique player. Nice.

 

[RedRocking]

If at first you don’t succeed, give it to Dowder!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

What a pass by Protas. Fantastic

He was like "I can't score on breakaways, might as well drop it back!"

 

[DWGie26]

Protas eyes and hands are amazing. Skating, meh. Shot, meh. Overall, I really like and not even 22 yet.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Loved Grier on that Kono and Halpern line.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I was drafting a post complaining about Protas' finishing when he made that pass. So I'll shut up for now.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

AA has looked decent. Thoughts?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

AA has looked decent. Thoughts?

Didn't see him out of position at any point or spot any glaring mistakes, no issues with his play tonight

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Mantha creates chances but isn’t much of a finisher this year.

Mantha creates chances but isn’t much of a finisher this year.

Hard to ask that a guy make the play and score the goal. He needs a playmaker on the line. He's stuck with 2 possession guys who can't make a nifty pass.

Agreed. He should be a given a chance in the top six.

 

[RedRocking]

That’s a solid win. Nice to get Chuck some positives on his ledger.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Good win, should've been a blowout but pleased to come out with 4/4 points vs McDavid and co.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Impressive win.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I'm very pleased with the Caps tonight. AA gets a game, Protas keeps developing, offensive chances were there, and they won in a difficult place to play.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Good for the Caps. Gritty win.

 

[McVechkin]

The pessimist in me kept seeing all those caps chances not get buried and just expecting to see a crushing loss… nice to be on the right side of that.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I love it. Solitude, stars, and beauty.

I can have that on a beach….F the snow!

 

[Calicaps]

Well-deserved win. Played 60 full minutes. Didn't give in to frustration. 2 points.

 

[DWGie26]

2 point night, clean. Always love that. Last 7 minutes or so were just a wild ride with no Whistles till the end. Even with EDM had possession Therey were outside.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

AA has looked decent. Thoughts?

I thought he played well and he was paired with Gus. He wasn't afraid to shoot the puck when given the chance.

 

[RedRocking]

BT should go coach EDM. They’d be such a good counter-attack team, if they had better structure without the puck.
