GDT: WARNING: EXPLODING DEFENSEMEN (WSH vs NYR G4, 8pm)

[marcel snapshot]

Shelley on TNT asks why Ovie doesn’t go down the wall and battle for the puck. Well, it’s a long story

 

[IafrateOvie34]

All I can say is FU Patches. He wouldn't play on most of the 2024 teams and would be the 1994 version of Olczyk. He couldn't even get us a pick at the TDL and one of the worst to wear a Caps uniform.

Not a single center on this team can win faceoffs consistently. Need 3 new centers as well as a whole new top 4 D.

 

[notDkristich]

Lindgren won so many games for the team this year, this is a time the team has to win in spite of him. A few brutal goals this game, which is a big problem when your team is so offensively challenged.

what was his actual playoff exp b4 this series?

i beg you to rewind to the 1st period. milano took a FO, and didn't even try. the fix is in

 

[notDkristich]

HL is our C in waiting

 

[Neil Racki]

That strome to Pro was almost there

This only shows that Shelley hasn’t been watching the Caps play much. Ovi almost never goes deep in these situations. Especially 1.5 mins into the shift.

 

[mad4comp]

Another lost face off, this is not an nhl caliber team. Shoulda let the RW have the playoff spot, they'd be running circles around the Rags.

 

[troyerlaw]

Pacioretty Dowd Ovie is … a line

 

[Capsman]

That and speed are a couple things BM doesn’t believe in.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Isnt Mike Peca a coach on the Rangers. Hes a money faceoff coach

semi-polite way of calling out his deployment. his deployment there on the PP is a liability. bumper or bench. HC has to grow a spine next season. OV will be gone soon, and we will all miss him

 

[Misery74]

When we pull, OV should not be near the point. Let the kids try and bring this one to OT.

 

[Nice]

This is the most uneventful playoff series I have ever seen

And uneven. Rangers barely breaking a sweat

OV shouldn’t be anywhere near the ice if we’re being honest.

 

[notDkristich]

oh look, CMM with net negative play with the puck again. so maddening. is anyone watching tape?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

And uneven. Rangers barely breaking a sweat

They will in the next round.

 

[PlushMinus]

This is the most uneventful playoff series I have ever seen

It is painful to watch, but the truth is the Caps were painful to watch in the regular season. They have become one of the most boring teams in the league. I think most of us only watch the games because we love the Caps (or suffer from insomnia).

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

The young guys have delivered on their part. All the old guys have sucked.

youth, and OV record chase

 

[hb12xchamps]

Jensen just doesn’t look right at all

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I love our coach, but him sitting Miro in a game where speed is needed is just an awful decision.

 

[notDkristich]

Jensen just doesn’t look right at all

the 'fencing' response when he got knocked out scared the f*** out of me. i'm sure he's still dealing with fog and post-concussion

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

AA waited way too long to shoot.
