GDT | Game 84 | also at Washington | Wednesday, April 23rd | 7:00 PM EDT

[Rolex]

Into the Rose hard tonight eh?

no man....if you cannot see that opponents have figured out our PP, then i don't know what to tell you

 

[Habsy]

Put Guhle there.....or Matheson.....Hutson can have PP duties in regular season until he learns to shoot.....never thought i'd say this, but Hutson is the reason the PP isn't working, everyone knows he won't shoot, and he only has 2 lanes of passing: 14 or 92....so easy to defend

Move Laine to PP2 away from their top killers.

Get Kapanen in as a bumper.

Heineman in front.

Need to bed up the second unit.

 

[Habspatrol]

how is it Laine's fault that he's getting the pass with opponents all over him, because Hutson has only 1 move: pass

Laine's fault? I didn't say that. I'm saying that the gameplan of trying to get every pass to Laine isn't working. We have a bunch of creative guys on PP1 but the plan of just getting it to Laine is not creative at all.

 

[Habspatrol]

no man....if you cannot see that opponents have figured out our PP, then i don't know what to tell you

Holy shit, man... THAT'S exactly what I'm saying. The plan is to get Laine the puck. I'm saying we need to adjust.

 

[east coast]

Fuck Hutson...you need to shoot that

He really doesn't like to shoot, does he? We are trying to pass the puck into the net.

Anderson's line at least will whack away at the puck .

 

[Rolex]

this constant shitting on Laine and accusing him of all our faults is crazy....TVA is full into Laine-bashing mode

How about you get Laine a decent center....i'd like to see how good Caufield would be playing with Newhook...i guarantee everyone would be in Cole bash mode

 

[GrandWazoo]

They're not respecting anyone as a shooter except Laine. It's just not working anymore. We need to adjust.

They respect Suzuki and Caufield too, but they’re never in a dangerous spot.

 

[east coast]

We aren't really in this series. Not really. They are pounding the piss out of us, controllling the boards and coming out of the corners at will. .

CC is 3x better than Laine on the back check

Laine is a 50 foot player

But we do need him. So let’s hope he keeps getting good looks

Slafkovsky was horrible every game he wasn’t playing with Suzuki.

When we start skating, Caps go into panic mood. That's what we gotta do.

 

[wiseguy1]

Time for Habsy to lay a bet on the Habs coming back to win it.

 

[Rolex]

Slafkovsky was horrible every game he wasn’t playing with Suzuki.

and he's been horrible 3 outta 4 games he was playing with Suzuki

 

[east coast]

When we start skating, Caps go into panic mood. That's what we gotta do.

We appear to be playing scared and its stopped us in our tracks. Caps tactics working to date.

Caps were lucky to win game 1.

 

[east coast]

Except Anderson's line.

 

[east coast]

Caps were lucky to win game 1.

Yes. But we would have been luckier.

 

[Krustchev]

Move Laine to PP2 away from their top killers.

Get Kapanen in as a bumper.

Heineman in front.

Need to bed up the second unit.

Game 3 perhaps.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Hey, we were down by two last game going in the 3rd, there is improvement.

 

[CH1]

I thought we had good pace tonight but then we stopped skating after Washington tied it
