GDT#2 Capitals @ Penguins 7:00pm Oct 4, 2018 NBCSW, SN360, SN1, TVAS, ATTSN-PT

Look at the bright side. 2 games 3 points. I’ll take that all season.

It's game 2 out of training camp. I thought it was a blast to watch. The Caps firepower is something to watch. Add an improved defense and this could be another great season.

[BlackIce]

Pittsburgh is to be congratulated for playing a perfectly clean game after a couple of early penalties, while the Caps committed the last 5 penalties of the game.

[ArJunaZ]

The other notable thing I though of is how many D-men are scoring.

[4 Caps]

Story of this game was penalties, Caps gave up 2 power play goals and didn’t score any.  At even strength we outscored them 6 to 5.  Again I think the reason we took so many penalties was the fatigue factor. 


On the positive side it is really nice to see Oshie getting off to a great start.  We are going to need Oshie to score more than 18 goals this season.  I thought the top two lines looked good but bottom two lines were pretty much invisible.  I was disappointed especially in the third line, they had a great game last night against Boston.  They had 7 high quality chances last night, tonight they had 1.

   It was a terrible game. So what if you can score goals. If you give up 7 goals you aren't going to win very many games.
   Thought I would point out that Carlson was by far our best dman tonight in both ends if the ice. Pretty bad when Carlson is your shutdown guy.
    Oshie was pretty easily our best forward. Pretty much everyone else sucked.

    Penalties isn't the entire story of this game. We gave up 5 even strength goals. That's way too many. Bad thing is that Holtby made a ton of great saves in this game and he still let 7 get by him. It could have and should have been worse. We didnt deserve a point in this game. And the Pens were almost as bad as us. One of the worst games I have seen in a long time.

OK, we scored 6 goals against the Hens and lost in OT in game 2 of a back to back. We SUCKED!?!?  I don't know why I don't just click ignore on your posts.

I thought I would point out that you point this out often...that “Carlson was/is our best dman”
Oh ye lover of allst thingst Dylan. 




I would agree with you tonight though. JC was good tonight.

   You think we played well? If you think that then your expectations are low.

   Lol I'm just glad he is starting to play to his potential.
I hope this game isnt a sign of things to come.

Good to see you are in playoff form already, Maaco.  LOL.  I look at it that we were playing the second of two in two nights, after an emotional banner raising, in Pittsburgh, in their opener, without one of our top 6 O and top 2 D, getting out-power played 5-2, and we scored 2 late to get a point.  What the fuck was Shittsburgh's excuse for us putting up 6 on them?  If we suck, they suck.  It was fun to watch.  Game 2.  Who gives a shit?

[richkrt99]

I would also agreee this was a terrible game
And I still fucking hate Cindy
For a big strong guy he sure does crumple easily when an opponent’s stick taps anywhere near him
Fucking penalty in OT when it’s 3 on 3 is a joke.  You should have to draw blood to get a penalty during 3 on 3 play.

No.  If it was April, I'd be worried.  In October, not so much.

[richkrt99]

Peace out peeps. 5 days off....who the hell made up this schedule?

[Mickstix]

Take that lucky point and run..

     I guess it was a funny game to watch. Definitely not the style if game I like. I just hope that we dont intend on playing wide open like this all year.

I agree, moreover it was a second game in 24 hours for us and first for shitsburg on home ice,thus I think it was a good game in offense,bad in defense because of the lack of concentration and not much time to relax between 2  matches.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 The Hens are never “clean”, they  just don’t get called.


You outta be thanking them they didn’t just target and run us and just did their usual trip-slash&dive pussy shit that normally do!

Valid points, but I would think they would have anticipated that earlier.


Both games, albert more responsible than in the past , they degreased to firehouse/video game/pond hockey shit. No wonder they got tired and sloppy.
