Official GDT: Pens @ Caps 1/18/25

[DelPen]

Blomqvist gets the start, POJ’s turn with this nasty virus going around.

[Crash66]

Now that's a "hot goalie". Holy crap.

[DelPen]

We should be wearing the corporate pigeon jersey playing the Caps in their eagle jerseys.

[DelPen]

Looked deflected

[Crash66]

That's the Dman I wish the Pens would've gotten.

[Southern Fan]

Looked deflected

That got tipped.

[Puck-Lurker]

Looked deflected

Couldn't track that puck, thought it went in off a deflection too. Guess Blomqvist couldn't find it either.

[brwi]

Beau with a helluva tip up high

[Skatingpen]

Men against boys

[DelPen]

Anyone else's video behind the audio?

[Puck-Lurker]

Anyone else's video behind the audio?

Seems fine on my end.

Commentary seems about 10 years out of date, but it synchs up

[Maestro]

Anyone else's video behind the audio?

Yes by about .5 / sec

Not here

I understand not wanting to throw Bloom in right away, but saving him for this game isn't doing him any favors either.

[DelPen]

Not bad, which I guess is fine.

Well he won last time in Washington. He’ll be fine. The only goal was a deflection he had covered if it stayed on target.

[Puck-Lurker]

Behind 1-0, still salvageable. Need Blomqvist to be on point and offense to start lighting that lamp quick and often.

[FLPensFan]

Dejan pointed out last night that, although they won against Buffalo, they didn't particularly play well. They got 3 PP goals, which is out of the norm. Other than those goals, they didn't look very solid for most of the night. Outshot 42-19, and out attempted like 87-28.

Seems like it is continuing into tonight. Not much of "following a game plan or executing a system."

[BurghThing]

Poor Bloom

[brwi]

Take a seat, Letang,

So, is it the players, or the coach?

[Southern Fan]

The Caps coach has to be up for coach of the year. You would never think this collection of players would be playing as well as they are.

[IntangibleBeer]

I am stuck watching the Crapitols stream (which is bad enough). Craps are very physical and Pens don’t seem to be responding. They don’t look in sync or engaged.

[DelPen]

Players can’t move a broken stick like that, that should be a penalty.

They bought into the system ?
