GDT R1G1 Capitals vs Canadiens W 3-2
Mickstix:
Do it again Wednesday!! 7pm
If you see a replay, watch that kick-pass by Ovi to Buvi.. 8-0
Beaglefan2:
Announcer's jinx! They show the stat that Ovi had never scored an OT playoff goal and 30 seconds later he scores!
I thought Alexyev played pretty well and he brought some snarl. I really think he could be good for us in the years to come.
The refs tonight were poor. I don't see how Anderson didn't get a penalty for the cross check to Wilson coming off the ice. I've seen that exact same thing in the Ottawa-Toronto game called a penalty - as it should be.
We need more out of some 3rd and 4th line guys - Eller was a no-show as was Radysh. McMike was good early, then disappeared, and Leonard should not be out there.
richkrt99:
not overtime, but OVI-TIME!
100% of the scoring was the top line, no? Need to improve on that. Although we did dominate for a great part of the game and had many good scoring chances from several lines
Dubois line did their job...prevented Montreal from scoring (Dubois line was not on the ice for either goal against) Good ole Johnny Q Carlson was on for both goals against...so was Dowd, but...
Glad to have Thompson back - he gives us a better chance to win I think.
go watch the highlights from the LA/Edmonton game. Crazy game.

They looked great for about 50-52 minutes and then stopped forechecking and decided to play defense. That can't happen. I thought Alexyev played prettty well so maybe they won't miss Marty as much as feared.

I notice from the roster listings that Alexeyev is up to 230 lbs. I presume he will continue to be TVR's partner, which is fine, because TVR is a 3rd pair D anyway and he is on the lighter side.
I also noticed a couple of things about Ovechkin: Last night he played 16:45 in an overtime game, and his shifts averaged about 45 seconds, which is low for him. I wonder if Carbery is going to pick Ovie's spots somewhat to help keep him fresher, and emphasize to him to get off the ice quicker when an offensive play isn't developing toward the end of his shift. Also, it seems that the Caps are bringing Ovechkin into the offensive zone late on PP's, seemingly trying to hide him, because the PK has to pick up the first guys entering the zone.
