I support not having Cup winners in gdt titles.

I love this match-up.

7-0-0 in the last 7 against the Wild. Ovechkin has 11 goals and 7 assists in those 7 games.

 

[Silky mitts]

Guess who's back

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Woah!

 

[trick9]

Not even remotely surprised about this.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Get Tommy Tom Tom back in the lineup tonight. Hopefully he proves to be the spark the guys need right now.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Guess who's back

Release the kraken!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[chilimac]

Definitely looking forward to reading the explanation that comes with this decision...hopefully it makes sense...

 

[chilimac]

Oh,, and for those of you that peruse the 'mains'(i dont)...have fun !!

 

[Corby78]

Nice! Had 10-14 games in mind at the beggining, but didn’t think it would be reduced after the 20. Screw you bettman! Let the resurgence of good hockey begin!

 

[Sam Spade]

GDT - Stanley Cup Champion Tom Wilson @ Boudreau's non-big cup holders.

 

[Hivemind]

Thread title currently violating board rules. Get that cup winner back in there!

Hopefully 43 can help fix this PK.

 

[895]

So...does this mean we see 8-92-43?

 

[Misery74]

Lines for tonight?

Back to game 5 of Cup finals, Boyd in for Beagle sound right?

Tough call because Dowd has been a big minute PK'er, can Willy just jump back in to 20 minutes a game?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Tom Time

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

So... who gets nacho duty? Burakovsky? DSP? Dowd?

Ask and you shall receive.

 

[Misery74]

Ask and you shall receive.

I like this. Not a huge Jaskin fan. Plus, scratching Bura could become problematic.

 

[trick9]

Last chance for Burakovsky.

ES Comparison (this isn't pretty):

Andre Burakovsky:
GF/60: 1.1
GA/60: 3.5
D zone starts: 53.8%

Connolly:
GF/60: 3.6
GA/60: 2.7
D zone starts: 44.8%

Stephenson:
GF/60: 1.9
GA/60: 3.2
D zone starts: 50.4%

DSP:
GF/60: 1.7
GA/60: 2.6
D zone starts: 57.3%

Jaskin:
GF/60: 1.4
GA/60: 2.4
D zone starts: 54.5%

Dowd:
GF/60: 1.7
GA/60: 2.8
D zone starts: 60%

Boyd (small sample size):
GF/60: 4.1
GA/60: 2.1
D zone starts: 50%

Another surprising stat was Eller at ES... 5.4 GA/60 which is nearly twice as bad as anyone else on the roster. Unlike Burakovsky he atleast produces something offensively, though. He still needs a lot of work on his defensive game if they want to stop the bleeding defensively.

maaco is a straight up baller representing in the Wilson thread on the mains.

Why isn't he like that here?

 

[EYEuhFRAYtee]

Top line Tommy time!
