GDT | Game 87 | at Washington | Wednesday, April 30th | 7:00 PM EDT. Go For Broke!

[Rolex]

Nah. 8 held 48 back too long.

Better team without 8 and 58

we are not better this year with 48 alone, and a draft pick (for 8).....

 

[wiseguy1]

Needed them or Barron or Harris to take a big step. None did.

And we gave up on Kovy

 

[GrandWazoo]

I'd honestly trade Matheson for Petry if I could. At least Petry knows his limitations. Matheson thinks he's Bobby Orr. If he knew his limitations he could at least he a solid #3 dman.

No way no how. Team is playing him like a #1 guy, plays top shutdown pair (despite being an offensive guy), pp, pk, and he’s holding up by zip ties right now. He’s so banged up it’s ridiculous.

 

[Rolex]

With all our chances, Caps would have scored a few goals by now....

 

[GrandWazoo]

He plays at least 25 mins a game including all the tough minutes vs the other team’s best

I’m sure he would enjoy having limitations imposed on him

100%

 

[lecoqsportif]

Caufield has to bury that.

 

[CH1]

Caufield has to bury that.

Not liking him tonight

 

[worm]

I think you're missing the point of bigger and tougher.

Barron isn't small

 

[Sal_Butera]

Barron isn't small

Too bad he’s a Dipshit

 

[lecoqsportif]

Not liking him tonight

Puck watching on 2nd goal.

 

[Rolex]

100%

People that complain about Matheson, what would they have preferred this season ? Trading Matheson for draft picks, and forcing Hutson to play all the tough assignments ? I'm sure that would have been great for Hutson

We needed Matheson to get those tough jobs....and allow 48 to do his thing

 

[Habsy]

But he’s not who we need.

We have 48, 21 and 64.

Need a Slavin-lite type.

Edit: And we have 45 for the third pairing. He’s OK.

The other two need to be minute eaters. That's why I said Ekblad and Provorov. Both mean sonsa bitches

 

[Habsy]

We needed Matheson to get those tough jobs.

That's where you're wrong. That's not Matheson's game. As they say, wrong chair. He's used because we don't have a proper D to fill that role.

 

[CH1]

Suzuki snake bitten tonight

He was instrumental in getting this team to the playoffs.

They all are. Can't do anything against the bigger D.

 

[Habspatrol]

Habs need to take a time out. Rest the top guys as much as possible now.

 

[Habspatrol]

Don't pull the goalie before the faceoff

 

[Habspatrol]

I hate this.

 

[Habsy]

You make it sound like nobody else could do that. Matheson is not the D that they need in that slot.
