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

[xposbrad]

Well we have to win 4/5 now, very unlikely.

 

[Habsy]

No puck luck tonight and two atrocious shifts was the difference.

 

[CH1]

You mean without Laine?

Who?

 

[MON4NHLTOR4MLB]

Need a goal, empty net and Gallagher and Dvorak out there. Dvorak in the bumper and fans on it, deserve to lose.

 

[Sal_Butera]

Well we have to win 4/5 now, very unlikely.

And you had predicted this team would make the playoffs …correct?

 

[Rolex]

well...we have 1 line....what do you expect

 

[habsfan]

Team needs to get a lot heavier in the offseason

 

[Sal_Butera]

well...we have 1 line....what do you expect

All the lines looked dangerous at various points of the 3rd…. without Laine of course

 

[Habsy]

Marty has to take out 58 and 92 for 91 and 72.

 

[Habsy]

That'll be when the NHL decides to start calling clear penalties in the playoffs.

 

[Habspatrol]

Laine and Savvy out. Bring on Arber and Kappy.

 

[Rolex]

regardless....Caps are not a very good team...how did they finish so high in the standings

 

[xposbrad]

And you had predicted this team would make the playoffs …correct?

I figured out of the bottom 10, somewhere in the 12 range. So we squeaked in, incredible.

 

[Krustchev]

Laine won’t play next game.

 

[Habsy]

Who?

Exactly.

 

[Krustchev]

regardless....Caps are not a very good team...how did they finish so high in the standings

Hot start.

 

[Habspatrol]

Marty has to take out 58 and 92 for 91 and 72.

Yep... a little toughness and speed could go a long way.

 

[xposbrad]

Laine and Savvy out. Bring on Arber and Kappy.

Ya Savard is not quick enough right now. Laine is invisible.

 

[Rolex]

Laine won’t play next game.

offically, team will say he's got an injury

 

[CH1]

All the lines looked dangerous at various points of the 3rd…. without Laine of course

Part of that is Laine is too slow

But the bigger part was that our D was pinching like crazy in desperation mode
