GDT #78 Caps vs Red Wings @ 7pm

[Mickstix]

You could have made a LOT of money at the halfway point of this season betting on Ovie to reach 30 goals.

I told Rich at one point he was gonna be lucky to get 15. He's had quite the 2nd half!

..... and for those people who think WE'VE been tanking, you haven't been watching the Flyers lately.


They're getting smoked tonight by MTL 6-0, still in the 2nd period.

There is a split screen photo of goalies when Gretzky played and when Ovi played. Huge difference in goalie size and padding size.  Also if you look at goals per game when Gretzky played versus Ovi, there is a big difference and again, Ovi would be substantially ahead of Gretzky had he played in that era.

Wow!  PK Subban.   Looking good.   One of my absolute top favourite 3 Ovi moments EVER was that up and over in open ice.   A thing of beauty.   Subban always came cross as a gobby little shit, but he actually took that really well.  He went up in my estimation after that.

Can't wait to see Tortz in the post-game presser! 

[BlackIce]

Oh I agree we're not supposed to be any good. But were playing the fucking Redwings. And getting dominated.. 

This seems to be a little bit of a strange post, given that Detroit's goal differential on the season coming into this game is +3, while ours is -41.

I wonder if he's coming to the end of his shelf life with the Flyers.  He tends to have a limited shelf life wherever he goes.

I've been watching the last month+ though. We didn't look like the bad news bears for a good stretch.

[Beaglefan2]

Charlie saved our bacon, but we could have had a couple more bounce in off the post.  I think Lappy will get one in the last period!

He appears to be too abrasive in the locker room, especially when the team isn’t doing well.

Dude, you need to be a regular GDT participant to appreciate the sentiment.        There are things that go on during games that stats can't justify.

lame penalty call

[Mickstix]

That's a Horse   too many men call.


* Nevermind.. Ovi's slow ass was still on the ice.

[Surreylily]

All I'm thinking is that's a spurious call and the refs are going to do a make up  when it least suits us.

Better now than later, maybe

ESPN showed a still shot of 6 guys on the ice, but that happens all the time in a game. They needed to show more context.

[Surreylily]

I would just like to say how wonderull it is to have so many non regular GDT poster here tonight.   (ie not Alta, Micky and me)


 


Welcome to our mad GDT world.
