GDT: Capitals @ Sabres 12/9/2016 (7pm est, MSG)

[sodbuster]

Place around here used to have 9 dollar pitchers on Thursdays. It wasn't the best beer selection but....only 9 bucks. Plus, ya know, pitchers.

Brockport bars had pitcher night in Wednesday. One semester I would leave night class and go straight to the bar for $5 (yeah, five dollars) pitchers.

[Jacque Richard]

The only guy that plays tough out there 82

[Randall Flagg]

It'd be cool if ROR could win one single offensive zone PP faceoff so we don' have to ice the puck trying to get it in.

[sodbuster]

Did I just read that right? One shot on two power plays?

[Eleven]

Does that Adam Oates simp still wear 77 for Washington?

[qwksndmonster]

Can't. Buy. A. Bucket.

[Randall Flagg]

I wouldn't be so sad about how our power play looks bad, but the fact that we need it if we ever want to win a game really puts an emphasis on when it's not clicking

[Eleven]

It's very painful having to listen to the oppositions media feed all night.

 

It's painful enough listening to RJ tonight.  If you have to deal with Joe B and that complete idiot Laughlin, I'm sorry.

[TrueBlueGED]

Moulson generated a shot at even strength. I saw it with my own eyes. Sure, it was a blooper from far out with zero chance of going in, but still, even strength shot!

[Stoner]

It is 8:53 pm and I am taking my eyes out.  I'd rather watch this nonsense with eyeglasses than with contacts.  That way, I can just fall asleep without worrying about it.

Eleven is calling it like Cronkite.

Time for our "stars" to come through.  Jack, ROR, Okposo.

[Iron Crotch]

Time for the power play to get going.

[Randall Flagg]

BLEED LARRY

We've outscored opponents at even strength 9 times out of 27 this year

 

Our even strength numbers are still far in last place

 

And nights like tonight, our PP just isn't good enough to save us

I think I saw him spit out some double minor juice.

This made me laugh hard enough to get a corner of the eye look from my wife.

[Stoner]

Re: the crowd. I've heard some unsolicited third period LGB chants, with the Sabres trailing, the last two games. Pretty rare. It worked last time...

[qwksndmonster]

Go yourselves refs.

[Iron Crotch]

That should be 4 minutes.  FU refs.

I've noticed this too, when we don't get possession off the draw we often have difficulty getting in and set up.

 

Our pp was 3rd in the league coming in. That surprised me a bit.

[Randall Flagg]

Remember when we thought this unit was going to be great? My god. Get Moulson and Gio out there.

[qwksndmonster]

That was a very Kane pass.

[Stoner]

So Grumpy Larry had a scab, and that's what was knocked off by the stick and why he started bleeding, but it's not an injury. I've heard it all. Please tell me I misheard that.

They score a lot, they often don't look pretty until the goal goes in though.and they rarely score when they desperately need the goal. The numbers come from things like 3 PPG in a solid win against the Flames that was never in doubt.

[TrueBlueGED]

I think our best pass on this PP has been Kane's little behind the backer there. I'd say that about sums up our PP tonight.
