GDT #58 Caps at Red Wings @ 7pm

Detroit's at home, and didn't play yesterday.


We had to play yesterday, then travel to play a back-to-back.  It's one of those situations that the scheduling can affect.  You can say that the guys are professionals and should be able to handle it, but the scheduling does give Detroit the advantage tonight.  I think situations like this become more of a factor as the season wears on and cumulative fatigue becomes more of an issue.


It goes both ways, so I'm sure we've had the situation in our favor as well during the season.  But it is what it is, which is why it was good to win last night's game.

Agreed.
Tbh, Im surprised we managed to score 3 against them.

But 8.........

Agree 100%.  And Caps overall team age makes this more of a factor as well I think.  Oh, and we only mediocre to begin with....and we just won 4/5 last games....

Also....Detroit got WAY more high end talent than we got...That doesn't hurt.  We don't have even one player in the Larkin, DeBrindecat Gostisbehere skills category.


Honestly looking at Detroit's roster, they should be winning way more than they are.
