GDT#38 Capitals at Rangers

Coyotes must have really hurt their feelings.. Been playing like heart broke woman ever since.

We have been over this before, but we should not have Ovi in the shootout. It should be Oshie, Kuzy and Backstrom in that order. I know Trotz wants to preserve the hierchy but he has to make that change!

[Maacoshark]

Thank you Carlson! What a DIPSHIT!

   You are blaming Carlson because he couldn't get the wrap around to go. If you are going to blame guys make sure its warranted. That isn't. He missed the wrap around. Those things happen. At least he gave himself an opportunity. He was one of our better players tonight after Grubauer.

   I agree

I'm not a big shootout fan, but we've done ok. OT hasn't been bad either!  We're LUCKY to have even HAD an OT and Shootout tonite!! Outplayed across the board. The goalie battle was awesome! Grubs gets us an undeserved point, and he's STILL thrown under the bus!!   BASTARDS!
I don't think the rangers played that well! We handed them a lot of mistakes, and Grubs helped keep them from capitalizing on us, especially in the 3rd!! We simply played bad enough to lose in regulation, but were spared the trauma!  Ridiculous!!   AND BOSTON TOMORROW!! Yeah we're ready!!

and let's ignore his breakaway when he had a quality shot but passed it instead

I'm now seriously questioning the heart of this team. Ovy could really use a night off in the skybox.. He has been lazy and drifting.  I lost count of how many turnovers and giveaways they made. They do not value the puck possession. The players that won't shoot need to sit. This euro passing shit is getting really ridiculous.

  Well it wasn't a breakaway but he should have shot. I dont know why these guys won't shoot. We made Pavelec look better than he is.

This is the kind of game you get after a Christmas break and on bad ice. Goaltenders were good, everyone else was a little off. Still mad Ovi was in the shootout.

  I agree. Especially about the Euro passing. We are trying to get too cute. How many opportunities did we give up for a dumb pass that didnt get through.

Hey Maaco.
I respect your hockey knowledge, but is there ANY obvious FUCK-UP, that #74 can do, that you won't immediately come to his defense on!!!  There were TONS of mistakes made tonite by almost ALL players on the Caps!  YES, Missed wrap arounds DO happen!  But RARELY are they THAT OPEN, and even more RARE, that it's the GAME WINNER, in OT, AND in front of a NATIONAL AUDIENCE!!!
HE FUCKED UP BADLY, MY MAN!!!! AND yes, he's a DIPSHIT for doin it!!!

Cripes! We have to listen to the NBC Sports goon squad again tomorrow night.

He's not even CLOSE to Kuzy who looked like he was getting ready for the pairs ice dancing in the Olympics.  Trotz should fine his ass for every good shot he passes up.

It sure as hell looked like an odd man rush, he had no one covering him and he chose to pass it off. That is the hockey definition of stupidity

[ArJunaZ]

Well there were two good things in tonight's game.  Gruby's awesome display of his mad skills and hanging out here with a great bunch of folks.  I really enjoyed both.
Cheers to all!

[Rush]

Let me add on here. Maaco, Carlson ISNT the reason we lost! The entire team fucked up, sans Gruby!  But he definitely COULD have been the reason that we would have STOLEN A WIN!!  That play was the very definition of being a SINGULAR play to WIN the game! In another sport he'd be called "the goat", or any one of many words,that are used to describe a player who had a game-winning opportunity BY HIS HANDS ALONE, and simply BLEW IT, BIG TIME!!!  And you say my criticism is NOT WARRANTED!!  I rest my case!

LOL, Apace41, and I agree!  It'd be awesome if your "fine Kuzy" idea would grow some teeth! We need GOALS not ballet!

Every Washington Capital sans Gruby deserves criticism tonight.  Everyone is at fault for that pathetic display.  Many players had chances to score and blew it. Besides Carlson missing a wide open net on the wrap there was Ovie in the crease with time to lift one over Pavelec and appeared to have been sharing the 714's. During one PP we had three guys in the crease with the puck and not one of them took a shot at net. Those were but a few of and endless stream of insanity. As others have said, you can't possibly score if you don't shoot the damned puck.

  I dont consider not scoring on a wrap around a fuck up. He needed to reach his stick out a another 6 inches or so to be able to wrap that around the post and into the net. Not sure if he had enough time. The goalie was out of the play but the dman was closing in. Its unfortunate he didnt score on it but it didnt lose us the game.
