2 to 2 after two.


Caps might actually be ahead if they had started playing at opening puck drop instead of 10 minutes later.

It took Shep 10 minutes to get up to speed, but after that he has been spectacular.

Ovechkin hasn’t been a shootout threat in 10 years, and I gotta think the league told Kuzy he couldn’t do that stick handle thing anymore.

Meh.   I wasnt expecting much from this game.  Ovi scored and we got a point.  I'm okay with that. 

Night night all.   :hearts:

As we’ve seen a couple times now just this season, if the Caps coaches would for called for a review on that goal, the goal would have counted.
Title: Re: GDT #34 Caps vs Predators @ 7pm
Post by: Mickstix on Sunday December 31, 2023, 11:24:33 AM Eastern
I think if the Preds would of challenged, it still would have counted. But your fucking BOSS or DAD calls for a challenge? How is that going to be unbiased? Total horseshit and nobody can explain the need for such a rule. They have what, 4 refs on the ice? How many coaches on the bench? How many video guys up in the booth? They aren't good enough to call for a review?? Why does the NHL need to poke it's nose in, ONLY in the last minute of a game?  :clown: :poop:


And if there's 0:00 time on the clock when you score, you can bet your ass they'd review to the millisecond to see if it went in, in time. The "RULE" is, the last minute of the game. Score keeper stopped the clock at like 19:01 but Carbs said the puck actually crossed the line at 18:59.. So, they want to get technical? That shit shouldn't of even been allowed, from biassed Toronto.
