GDT: MTL @ WAS 7PM - Unleash the MEH

[Alexander the Gr8]

Yeah, the tired old allusions to coaching as being the problem are brand new. Sorry to remind that it’s not Carbery but rather the roster is old and has no young talent.

I never claimed Carbery or GMBM were the issue.

Mantha is so mean, how dare you

GG

If you are alluding to the Stanley Cup, it was McPhee’s team with the exception of 2 shrewd FA acquisitions and the Oshie trade by BM. They were done in his first couple seasons. To beat a dead horse, his drafting has been extremely poor.

McFail was leading us nowhere. He had the worse coaching hires of the two, made an unforgivable trade and never addressed the glaring issues.

The difficult part wasn't drafting Ovechkin and Backstrom. The difficult part was to complete the roster with competent players and coaching, and for that, I give full marks to GMBM.

Now, if the argument is whether or not he held on to the core for too long after 2018, it's a different story. But to claim he's been terrible since his 1st year downplays how difficult it was to make it all come together.

eye test says one of three things, Achilles, groin, or apathy

I think it’s his back. Nothing debilitates like a back

 

[Langway]

Bad. Bad. f***ing bad.

 

[notDkristich]

DKs glove is 12 inches off AGAIN

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I just knew Slavkovsky would score tonight.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Embarrassing….

 

[Langway]

We need a fans assistance program.

 

[notDkristich]

Bad. Bad. f***ing bad.

being middle aged, and have multi-level degenerative disc disease from playing sports...woof, just retire. the pain never stops

 

[twabby]

And everyone made fun of me for not watching the games

They totally no-showed in the first and don’t have enough firepower to catch up.

 

[RedRocking]

Nice rip by Sandin

 

[RandyHolt]

I would like to see Willy run Jackass through the glass and flip him out of the rink

 

[troyerlaw]

I thought CMM had finally cracked the code in first 25 games, but he has sort of disappeared again.

Bad time for Mantha to take another penalty. We had some momentum

I ask for privacy during this difficult time.

 

[Block]

Not a good call imo.

 

[RedRocking]

Kuemper is clearly blind in his left eye

 

[Ridley Simon]

they will come back and win this game. Just wait.

Never mind. They suck ass.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Womp womp…

CMM has been MIA for 2 months…pretty shit play…..dude is just ancillary at best….

 

[notDkristich]

Kuemper is clearly blind in his left eye

he needs to enter player assistance for his disability

 

[Capitals40]

I would highly recommend Protas and CMM hit the free weights heavily in the off season.

 

[pman25]

Well this has been a boring game. At least we have an exciting post game interview with Beck Malenstyn and his dad, that’s exactly what I want to watch after this snoozer

 

[twabby]

Another game puck to Dylan Strome for two assists, 8 shots on goal, and a spiffy 63% xG share.

Honorable mentions to Alex Ovechkin and Martin Fehervary.
