GDT #61 Caps vs Senators SOW 5-4

[alta]

what the fuck


nother PK . . . . . . .

[Mickstix]

Lol. Too many men. We put out the old folks in OT. Serves us right.

[Surreylily]

We did okay in the first period.  Not great, but okay.
Maybe we're working to not get home ice in the playoffs        

[alta]

survived the PK

[alta]

shoot out time

[Surreylily]

Lots of pushing and shoving this game.

[Mickstix]

Coach fucking trippin'. Sends out Dubois after he basically lost us the lead. Now Carlson. lol What a fucking joke.

[alta]

Caps win 5-4


 


Despite Carlson being out in the shootout.

[Surreylily]

Strome and ThomCat get us the two points but it sure was ugly.

[Mickstix]

Miracles never cease. lol We'll take it, even if we don't deserve it!


Wednesday 7:30


Another "national" game. TNT 

[Beaglefan2]

Got away with some bad decisions.  Why is Carlson EVER in the shootout?  The first and most obvious guy was McMike!!!


It also would be nice if we could win a freaking faceoff.  They killed us late in the game.


And, I am a huge PLD fan but he could have ended the game by shooting at the open net and then he gets the penalty.  I think Carbs was probably putting him out in the shootout for some redemption - so I'll give him that.


Finally, every once in a while, Eller has a real bonehead game - which was tonight.

[alta]

good lord, I just went to the liquor store today, now I’m gonna have go again tomorrow

[Surreylily]

No sweet dreams over this game, so nighty night peeps.   

[alta]

It is hard to be disappointed with Eller when his mistakes are rare

[Mickstix]

I don't hate Eller, but he had a bad game and that line is basically another 4th line. They don't contribute anything to the scoresheet.


What once looked like we should hold tight at the deadline, now looks like we should make some moves, imo. Need a top 6 forward (1c would be nice) need a 3c, need to do something with this shitty D.


We're completely reliant on "above" average goal tending. Good that we have it, but sucks that we have to rely on it just about every game.

Great 1st period.  Full of energy, scoring chances, hitting, SOG (ahem...try this all game dummies)
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Honestly thought we were the better team, but there were stretches of both.  WAY too many BS penalties.
went to OT, and somehow we survive, then shootout.
I have no problem, with PLD in SO, but FFS when Carlson came out, I lost it and was cursing the stupidity.  Carlson actually had a bad game to boot.  He totally missed his man on the 3rd goal (i think), giving them a 2 on 1 and forcing other D to move over which led to pass, shot, goal.  He couldn't hit the net on most of his shot attempts and he was suspect on D and slow to get back ...OFTEN.  I was starting to wonder if he was nursing something (other than his sore vagina) cuz his game has been shit for the last little while.
I was calling out my SO lineup before they started and it BEGINS with McMIKE.  Kid was all over the ice, driving the play, scoring, assisting, and HE doesn't eve get a sniff in SO?  That's a head scratcher.  Carlson should never ever ever ever be in the SO.

I will gladly skulk away with those 2 points.

[Beaglefan2]

Good one Rich!  Carlson has been lousy going back to before the break and he is awful in the shootout.  You would think that they would practice the shootout occasionally and stop picking the wrong guys. I can see rewarding guys for having a good game, but they should not have Carlson, or Ovi for that matter, in any shootout.  It should have been McMike, Chychrun and Protas.

[waynerivers]

They really should have lost this game.  Ottawa seemed to have more legs and the better chances.  We insist on standing around in front of our own goal like so many telephone poles in our own end.  You have to be on the puck carrier always in all zones, including on the PK.  We have long stretches where we're way too passive both in our skating and hitting.  This won't go very far come playoff time.

I also can't figure out this fascination with Carlson.  He's out there on the PP, the PK, almost all of OT and then he's used in the SO.  Makes no sense.

Go back and watch Ottawa's first goal.  Carlson was downright comical.  That he's our ice time leader makes me question the coaches.

Is it bad that I’m secretly hoping Carlson gets a career ending injury this season? Nothing that effects his daily life, but something that won’t let him play at the NHL level anymore.
