Thanks for the GDT Alta.

So, the team with the worst PP in the league is taking on the team with the best PK in the league.  This should be fun .......

Right.


Lapierre will scratch tonight, NAK in the lineup. I assume this moves Protas back to center but haven’t seen confirmation yet.

We've got to be the 2nd best PK, don't we? Seems like we've only given up 1 or 2, in the length of time we've not scored on the PP? I was waiting to see which would fuck up first and cost us a game.

I just rechecked nhl.com/stats, and it says Caps have the 21st best PK in the league.




Same thing it said at 1pm.

several games back the PK was 12th, I really hadn’t thought they gave up that many PPGs since


Game 16 the Caps PK was 11th, game 17 they gave up 3 PPGs to the Oilers
that phukin Oilers game.. oofa

That's one good thing about dropping center ice and getting espn+.. I now get pre and post game.


Im still curious how their timing is. Is it live, 30 seconds behind.. Stream is rock solid though, so eitherway.

So many times we've been the team that outplayed, out shot, and out chanced the other team only to lose to a "hot goalie".   Nice to have the "hot goalie" for a change.   

Lose 2-1 to the worst team in the league then beat one of the hottest teams 2-1.  The Caps definitely keep it interesting.

Post by: richkrt99 on Thursday November 30, 2023, 10:00:44 AM Eastern
I just re-watched the condensed game. M&M&P line had like 5 legit scoring chances.  Ovi and Willy had a couple as well, but M&M line had some great chances...they could have easily had 4 or 5 goals.
Hope they stick together and actually gel.  Neither Mantha or Protas have the greatest hands ever, but if it goes in, it goes in.
M&M Peanuts line?  McMike/Mantha/Protas
so funny to see them hug after the goal...Mantha/Protas and Edmunson with Mikey in the middle make him looks like a little kid


McMike now tied for 2nd with Ovie with 5 goals.  Mantha has 4 tied with Kuzy & Wilson
Stromer still leading the way with 8

The Caps were given zero PPs last night. The game I was watching looked they should’ve had at least two.

Oh yeah and the slashing call on Stromer was complete horseshit

Post by: Mickstix on Thursday November 30, 2023, 11:36:04 AM Eastern
IIRC, post game (monumental) stats showed the Kings 1/3 on the PP? Pretty sure they didn't score on a PP and Alta's scoring summary says the same.  :huh:  I just remember a lucky bounce off the back boards that put the puck on a Kings stick? Anyway, no PP's for us was BS, especially after they called at least 2 of the 3 on us, that were horse shit.


Still hate the offside challenge, but I believe I saw after we reviewed the call and got the turnover, they had to put over a MINUTE of time back on the clock.. lol That shit is nuts.


I forgot about Sandin's save. Charlie was putting on a clinic!
