Official GDT: 3/19/2013 WSH vs. PIT

WASHINGTON vs. PITTSBURGH

3/19/2013

Tonight marks the last time we will see the Capitals until later this year, well into the 2013/2014 season.





Actionable Intelligence

- Craps coming off a 5-3 win over Buffalo. Two bottom-feeders battling it out.
- In the Craps last 10 they are 5 - 5 - 0.
- Ovechkin having a dreaful season with 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points in 28gp.
- Both games v the Craps have seen Adam Oates (Possibly on Steroids) outcoached profusely by DB.
- Michal Neuvirth most likely starting, Holtby played and beat Buffalo, but no question Neuvirth is their #1 (if you can call him that even)
- Tom Poti out (gonna hurt them on D)

Capitals Team Leaders

1.) Mike Ribiero - 10g - 21a - 31pts
2.) Nicklas Backstrom - 3g - 22a - 24pts
3.) Alexandria Ovechkin - 11g - 12a - 23pts
4.) Troy Brouwer (lolololololol) - 10g - 9a - 19pts
5.) Joel Ward (lolololololololololol) - 6g - 10a - 16pts

And to that lineup...



Penguins Notes

- Malkin practicing and taking contact, projected return to the lineup is Friday
- Fleury in net tonight after strong showing from Vokoun. Good to have the tandem in full force
- 9 game winning streak on the line
- Letang out, lower-body injury what could be a high-ankle sprain. If anyone has any info feel free to add
- Niskanen/Martin on the PP

Penguins Projected Lineup

Kunitz - Crosby - Dupuis
Bennett - Jeffrey - Neal
Cooke * - Sutter - Kennedy
Glass - Vitale - Adams

Orpik-Martin
Niskanen-Eaton
Bortuzzo-Despres

Fleury

* - Was not at practice, but is expected to play

Streak on the line let's get it done boys. For great justice.




LET'S GO PENS!!!!

YES!

GO PENS!

[meow]

Brooks Laich is in. Ha. Ha. Hahahaaa

[meow]

Good God! Mike Milbury just said "Crosby's the best player on the planet." I nearly choked on my dinner.

Same. Milbury is trying reverse-psychology I think.

[DocEmrick]

NBCS is doing a live look-in to the Isles game...it is absolutely empty.

[meow]

Maybe have the fans accidentally went to Brooklyn tonight

Good God! Mike Milbury just said "Crosby's the best player on the planet." I nearly choked on my dinner.

And if im not mistaken, the next segment was "Is Anze Kopitar the best center in the NHL?"

lol. but yeah they were giving major compliments to the Pens, but its almost because they have no choice. Esp when the inevitable Crosby/Ovechkin debate comes up and things are the way theyve been lately.

[DocEmrick]

You know it's killing Milbury at least, Jonsie I dunno about, but to have to speak so highly of Sid since he's like running away with Art Ross, elevating players around him, etc. And Ovechkin has 23 pts...

The cocky pens go up against the capitals tonight.

I find it funny Oates says we are cocky...did he see his team's goal celebration the other night?

[DudeMan2766]

Its weird I have on eof those comcast boxes for my standard def TV in my office, and I cant hear anything other than the arena PA , music and some fans. Kind of hope it stays this way and I can hear the game sounds without the announcers, but this is the first ive ever watched games in this room. Half the stations have sounds, some dont. Anyone ever have that?

HA. Thats what I thought, says the coach of a team that still celebrates goals like its Game 7 OT

[FreeCandy44]

Dudeman...

Check and see if you have the Spanish language feed on. I've done this for Steelers games on CBS, and it's very very nice.

[RPKJr429]

"Buckle up, baby. Are you kidding me!?" is a great line.

[shafnutz05]

I am happy they switched Sutter and Jeffrey.

I didn't hear it, so maybe I'm missing context, but I took this as a compliment to the Pens. As in the Pens are playing with a lot of swagger.

But if the boys get a little boost from it, I'm all in.

Well I'll be....Thanks

[shafnutz05]

Every time I hear that air horn, regardless of the team we are playing, I actually think I'm watching a game in the Verizon Center. Come on....

[FreeCandy44]

I got your back buddy. ;)

[DMcGrew]

[RPKJr429]
