With an important step in the rear view mirror, Washington’s capital played their first game sheltered from the playoffs – and against a very good team from Carolina Hurricanes. What looked like the worst type of match after twenty minutes quickly became an exciting and violent night of fun hockey.
Washington’s capitals played part of their worst hockey in the first period. Stuck in their own zone, the caps allowed Logan Stankoven – which is the worst type of oven – to open the scoring, followed by a scandalous goal from Tom Wilson, credited to Jackson Blake.
Washington played Miles better in the second period and scored four unanswered goals to prove it. Pierre-Luc Dubois scored his 20th of the season with a power game goal, the Dylan Strome crushed the net with Ovechkin to equalize the match. Nic Dowd scored a sly on the race, then Tom Wilson pulled a power movement against Jaccob Slavin to make it 4-2 after forty minutes.
Jordan Martinook sent a washer of the eye of view to traffic to bring the canes for the start of the third period. The canes shot their goalkeeper and Seth Jarvis attached him with 106 seconds to do.
The overtime did not give us any decision, so …
Shootout bullets!
- Dubois put the cookie in the basket.
- Blake did not put the cookie in the basket.
- Carlson did not put the cookie in the basket.
- Svechnikov did not put the cookie in the basket.
- Strome did not put the cookie in the basket.
- Walker did not put the cookie in the basket.
Win Caps! The caps are dropped out first place in the East.
- The Hurricanes tried 25 shots during the first period. Caps attempted only 9. This is 26.5% by Washington to this. Weighted by the expected objectives, it was 22.2%. Really difficult to watch.
- Never more than when Tom Wilson pushed Jackson Blake goalkeeper Charlie Lindgren. Lindgren in a way dodged the observer of concussion, so the only person to do his job on the game was the responsible who noticed that Wilson marked on his own net. It was an execrable part of Wilson, but he probably knew it, and he compensated later.
- Lindgren seemed to be shaken after the blow, but he stayed in the match. He had a much lighter workload in the second period and was beaten by a washer with a Delta Quadrant camouflage device in the third. I argued that the goalkeeper is the biggest Washington problem at the moment, and there are still some.
- Things were hard until Pierre-Luc Dubois Converted on this power game in the second period. He now has 20 goals and 64 points, spending a career summit of 63 with Winnipeg in 2023. One of the many diamonds found last summer.
- The passions were raised in it after the drama between these teams on April 2. Brandon Duhaime expressed his dissatisfaction, with fistspeak, against Jalen ChatfieldWho could have seriously injured Connor McMichael eight days ago.
- Also participating in increased passions Alex Ovechkin, Who struck around everyone. It was only one of the four sure that it was credited with, and it is only a sample of physicity that the post-milestone player brought to the night.
- It was the last meeting between these teams in the regular season. The canes dominated the game of five against five in just about all. The caps will probably see the clothes in the first round, and the canes will certainly see the Devils. Will they meet again in the second round?
- Jakob Chychrun missed the match due to the disease. Joe Beninati also felt uncertain, so he did not call the game by play, which we have pointed out, but people have not read carefully, so they are all boring in our Menchies on X, the Everthing application, when Joe presented himself for the ice ceremony. In the meantime, John Walton was an excellent filling generally.
- Ryan Leonard It looks better with each game. It looks like an NHLER. The only reason he should ever return to university is to pick up his bang.
- Legend Alex Semin was in the game. Normally, I would write something stupid and gentle on the way this mischievous element brought me so much happiness in the first years of RMNB, but apparently I have mono, and therefore I am on a ton of drugs at the moment, and my hands feel like boxing gloves, so I cannot make poetry at the moment. I guess I read these old tweets instead?
There has been a persistent capitals misunderstanding in recent weeks. I wrote on Ovimaxxing Last weekend – how the team had optimized Ovechkin to break the record, but that’s not why they had trouble. From March 21 to this evening, the caps had the worst goalkeeper of the league – 33 opposing goals out of 22.5 goals expected and 204 shots – or a percentage of stops of 0.838. This was the predominant factor to have five defeats in their last eight games. There is always room to improve in each facet, but I think that people have exaggerated it in building a story about how OVI’s prosecution has retained the team.
The caps did not need, but they did not get good goalkeepers either to beat the Hurricanes tonight. Instead, they had the power of friendship – four goals in a frantic period, without a player who is involved in more than one of these goals. And the shooting.
The next step is a home house with the Blue Jackets Columbus. I did not check the dashboard of the Madripoor sovereign fund, but I think they are still hanging on hope in the playoffs. Should be good.
