GDT: Wild @ Capitals - 11/7/2013 7 PM

[um]

Anyone see Suter holding Ovechkin against the boards towards the end of OT then when he tried to get out in front of the net, he again held him from behind.

there were a few times they could have called suter but nothing happened.

 

[Ajax1995]

5 points from division lead by my count.

Count again...

 

[troyerlaw]

2 Points, Lloyd. 2 Points.

Nice, gritty win.

Now the football team needs to complete the sweep.

This.

 

[Mothra]

its not too late to trade him

i lol'd

 

[Ajax1995]

Brouwer and Johansson combined to go 3 for 19 in the faceoff circle...

 

[txpd]

Brouwer and Johansson combined to go 3 for 19 in the faceoff circle...

or....Johansson combined for a goal and an assist on a 2-2 tie night. which is better?

Whole team got horsewhipped on face offs tonight.

But Mojo is playing great. Brouwer, yeah, not so much.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

or....Johansson combined for a goal and an assist on a 2-2 tie night. which is better?

Why not look at both?

 

[SimplySensational]

US better hope the IIHF allows this crap, between Suter and McDonagh, they do this **** all game long and don't get called.

 

[InfernalDark*]

 

[SimplySensational]

Oh yeah Steen ****ing scored another goal FFS.

 

[Ajax1995]

Whole team got horsewhipped on face offs tonight.

No the rest of the team went 22 for 40...

 

[SimplySensational]

Who cares, Caps won, the other team is the best on faceoffs in the league.

 

[Ajax1995]

or....Johansson combined for a goal and an assist on a 2-2 tie night. which is better?

or..... Johansson both went 1 for 9 in the faceoff circle AND picked up a goal and assist.

How dare I point out Brouwer's and Johansson's abysmal work in the circle tonight in a game where being better in that area really could have made a big difference.

 

[Calicaps]

No the rest of the team went 22 for 40...

Really? Hmmm. Didn't seem that way. Ok.

 

[HTFN]

There's a good extended shot of Tom Wilson going around and screwing with everybody, and then getting his lid knocked off and smacked around the ice in the center ice salute. Worth a laugh.

Yes, MoJo sucked on faceoff's, but he more then made up for it during the game, i thought he looked good lately... creative, fast even shruging people off of him It's funny that the first thing that you commented on was the negative part of his game (in victory), in reality though positive out weighed the negative by a good margin.

oh...no. please. id rather be negative too. we all know that winning is no fun and getting to rip somebody on this team for something makes us all feel better.

good catch there. the wild are the best in the league in face offs and Johansson was embarrassed by them. brouwer is a winger taking face offs. he gets a pass.
but yea. 90 blew

 

[ForzaItalia]

Next 10 games will really tell us what team we have.

 

[Calicaps]

Indeed. The rest of Nov. is a tough stretch. 11 games in 23 days. 3 separate back-to-backs and some very good opponents.

 

[caps4cup]

Did Wilson actually get an assist on mojo's goal? Thought it was Brouwer.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

It was definitely Wilson.

 

[noptov]

Rough outing from Mike Green, sloppy defensively and turned the puck over way too often. On the plus side, I thought Schmidt had one of his better games - he even landed some well timed hits.

I don't know what happened, but the last few games our swedish centers have been downright ornery (relatively speaking). Whatever it is, I hope they keep it up. And despite getting killed on faceoffs, I thought 90 had a good game all around. He's looked so much better defensively at center than he was at wing.

 

[JenniferH]

Holtby has been so solid lately.

He really has, coming in and doing a bang-up job. Hopefully he can keep this up and slowly the numbers will rise where they need and drop where they need to get his stats up on that leader board.

Right now, the Caps have the longest winning-streak in the league. Come this weekend, I'd love to see them extend it.
