GDT: Caps at Blues 8pm

[ClevelandCapsfan]

2-0 SO lead frittered away.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

First it was Malik and then Bjugstad, now it's Buchnevich.

 

[Brian23]

What is Joe B on, they desrved a better fate? They got ass blasted 3-0 early and St Louis let off the gas because they just got done playing. They don't deserve anything for taking almost the entire game to care.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Rebuild's back on!

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Mantha is so unclutch even his stick quits on him.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Not only does Mantha suck, he also has terrible luck

 

[g00n]

Stole a point. The end.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Woof…that’s a hard earned point after no showing early. Disappointed not to get 2.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Valiant effort but they were down 3-0 in the first place so…I don’t know. Take what you will from this game.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Next few games are going to either be miracles or stinkers.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Not only does Mantha suck, he also has terrible luck

That was comical.

 

[Firsov99]

Disappointing finish. But we still got a point after being down 0-3.

 

[twabby]

Stole a point. The end.

This needs to be the takeaway from the game. You can’t just erase the poor and unprepared first period because they dominated a tired team in the second and third periods.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Amazing thing is the Caps are still in playoff contention.

 

[Capsman]

We never, ever, ever win a game we come back in. Maybe I should have added another ever.

OV would be best off just shooting the puck. He doesn’t have the puck handling skills to score that way more than once in 10 times.

This is like your kid breaking a lamp and then giving you two dollars out of his piggy bank to pay for it. You want to be happy, but also want to be pissed, and in the end your still going to pay for a new lamp.

A smart front office would still be looking to rebuild

Amazing thing is the Caps are still in playoff contention.

But are they?

Yep have to earn those points. Greiss made some wonderful stops.

 

[RedRocking]

Got lucky to get 1. Fun night watching Ovi, double shifting, giving it all he’s got.

Not really, just pointing out how the East is wide open for now.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Interesting….May said a few line changes and a better compete level/more grittiness the last 2 periods and “the D weren’t hung out to dry like they were in the first”…….

not sure I agree with all that….

 

[usiel]

Loser point victory.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

That was comical.

It sums up his Capitals career. Nothing works with him on the ice.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

That was comical.

His season in a nutshell.

Amazing thing is the Caps are still in playoff contention.

Depends on your metric.

Depends on your metric.

Oh my metric is pretty low at this point. Of course they have obstacles with injuries and being an elderly team, but if they were to make the playoffs it's a straight sweep out in the first round. I stated in the rebuild thread that I don't believe certain players on the team are winners. Those need to go this season. You can take guess who I'm talking about. We aren't getting prime Kuzy either and he needs to be super during this time. There is a lot of hockey left though, so who knows. Overall, the East is just flat out boring to watch as a hockey fan.

 

[YippieKaey]

I mean they slept for ten minutes then dominated for 50. They had a goalie let in at least two softies and an opposing goalie who excelled. 50+ shots vs 20. They should have won this game but shoulda coulda woulda is irrelevant.

Nice comeback and effort though and fun to see Ovi carrying the Washington Corpseitals on his back.
