Provy has taken another step forward in the last 10 games. Just getting more and more comfortable out there.

You're right. But that's not what McD did earlier in the period. He got the puck with time and could have waited a bit, but he fired a weak wrist shot from the point, with no traffic that the goalie easily deflected to the corner to his defensemen and the Caps got an easy out.

AND -- to give credit to Manning, he actually did just that later in the period. He waited and took a slap shot with traffic in front. That was a good play, but he doesn't always do that.

Luke Schenn was a master at the panic muffin shot from the point. Why did he panic? Because he doesn't have the skill to pull a head fake or do something else to create time and space. Nor does he have the skill to change the angle on a defenseman to give himself an outlet for a quick pass or a smart end around dump in. Pressure, panic, shot. Then what? It goes wide and then goes the other way or it's an easy save for the goalie and a whistle.

Glad we have Manning, MacDonald (who imo is guilty the least out of the big bad 3) and ESPECIALLY Hagg.

It's no secret that skill on the back end would produce offense that this team needs in this division. Enter: Sanhiem. Alas.

Flat out beast! 7 ES goals for a Dman while matching up against top lines is damned impressive

In a perfect world, you want 3 puck moving offensive minded D men with 3 at home guys. or just simple and have 3 pairings of Provorov.

You all just wait.

Provorov is a fart in the wind compared to what Sanheim will be.

Fantastic play by Provy both on the toe drag and having the vision to jump up for that touch pass

Great play by Ovechkin

Sanhiem will be better (or at the very least comparable) at his peak offensively but Provorov is a complete package that not a lot of Dmen in the NHL will compare with within 5 years

100% agreed. The way Provy is playing right now, just imagine him at 25. Within the next two years, he's going to perennially be in the discussion of the norris.

Back in W Philly there was an actual pimp mobile driven by a black guy that wore purple, blue, and red suits with matching fedoras and shoes. His car was covered with metal objects of various shapes and sizes. Like big hood ornaments.

Car itself was a Caddie car (not an Escalade) that was really dark maroon and of course sat super low with spinner rims.

What a time to be alive.

That penalty all because of Manning turning the puck over. He had complete puck control and possession going around the net and turns it over.
