Preseason GDTs-->

[alta]

2 men down, PK, shorty by Carlson! Tied up 1-1


Where you light weights at? Im already half in the bag! 

that was over 5 minutes ago 




and most of us don't get into that bag anymore 

[Mickstix]

Not that bag!! Im runnin' low..  But the bourbon store was open! 


1-1 after 1..

[alta]

hey, Caps Radio has the game on now. 




They only missed the entire 1st period.

[alta]

Fucale is having a good game

[Mickstix]

Well, outside of Carlson, they looked meh.. Oshie had a nice breakaway goal. Kuzy looked decent. Rest of the -starters- looked rusty and/or lazy..


Most of em' we know what we have, but this mother fucker who makes MORE than Tom Wilson and nearly as much as Oshie better show me something.. Looks like a 5.7 million 4th liner to me..

Kuzy seems to be skating well. Little pep in his step. They say Kempny is healthy and is the "x factor" on D.. I think Mantha is the x factor on O. Boy needs to show us something this year. Makes too much money to just skate around.

Well I only watched the 5 minute synopsis, but if Kempney is the X factor.....we are in trouble.  He handed over the first goal and was beaten twice others that led directly to goals.
Hard to tell only watching 5 minutes, but 3 glaring mistakes in a game by one veteran D isn't a good start.


Everything looked kind of loose and not so intense so who knows.  It's only preseason and I know it's mostly for evaluation, but...


Still....scoring a PPG AND a Shortie is a game you should win.


Allowing 5 goals isn't going to win any games.

Jensen looked like shit too..

What's funny about your comment is....only watching the five minute condensed synopsis, I was wondering if the Great 8 even played, cause he sure was not in any highlights.  The highlights certainly don't give you a feel for the game so you can't really tell anything (except who scored....er um....AND who was beaten like a drum....repeatedly)

He was out there. Looked uninterested/slow. Had 1 decent 1 timer that went high. That was about it from him.

Everyone looked slow...well on D anyway.  Every goal NJ scored looked like they beat one or more guys to the puck/net and nobody really gave a damn.  Meaningless games, yes, but still.


Actually offense looked okay, but nobody seemed to be caring much about D.


Again...FTIW...only saw 5 minutes of highlights.

I thought the team showed decent speed on O, passing still needs work, and yea, there wasn't much D, from either side really


but it's only the 2nd preseason game

[Mickstix]

Not sure if it was the personnel or game plan or what, but the D definitely looked better on Sunday.

Preseason Game 3: Caps at Flyers at 7:00 on NBCSW, CapsRadio 24/7, 106.7fm ... tv only

https://novacapsfans.com/2021/10/01/capitals-release-roster-for-third-preseason-game/

[Mickstix]

It's official. We're never gonna win another game..

[Mickstix]

Sounds like Kempny had another shit showing.. ( I barely watched. Came on on delay at 10pm on NHLNet. But then I saw the final score scroll across the bottom of the screen and just turned it off about half way through the 2nd) Anyway, it's about time Lavi puts a hockey team on the ice. These taxi squads are neat and all, but they got 3 games left to get their shit together..

[richkrt99]

Well Poop.

Preseason Game 4: Oct 4 Caps at Devils at 7:00pm, Caps Radio 24/7, 106.7fm

this game is not listed as being televised by either team

The Caps do list it as being on the radio, but that hasn't happened yet

[Mickstix]

Yea, no "national" tv that I can find either. Heard where Lavi said it'll be another "prospect" filled lineup tonight, but the last 2 games should have more of the veterans playing.

welp, 106.7 has Guido on talking about the redskins, and Caps Radio has the game on but it’s the Devils feed which also started a good 5:00 after the game started


management has become a joke




and right after I post this Caps Radio has gone down
