Post-Game Talk: Caps Preds 8:00 the return of the nisky

[Dr John Carlson]

Every goal a deflection.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Beagle has just been atrocious. Total liability every time he's on the ice.

 

[twabby]

NIce response...

 

[BiPolar Caps]

TJ Soshiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The coaching staff talk about puck management all the time. It's their number one weakness.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Djoos with the least amount of ES TOI in the first period. Good old Trotz hockey.

The guy just on for the GA? Lol....

 

[Langway]

Chandler McStevie.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Beagle has just been atrocious. Total liability every time he's on the ice.

Should be his swan song season with the club.

 

[Bladerunner]

It really is becoming a Twilight Zone game

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Sweet pass by CS and Oshie with the finish.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

BB was the problem
Hunter was the problem
Oates was the problem
Now Trotz is the problem?
The common denominator in all of this is the players, perhaps some of them are the problem.

BB and Barry are passable coaches.
The other 2 are junk. Why even bring them up?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Chandler McStevie.

He's really shown something since he's been up. Has some speed and a seemingly high IQ, especially for a player his age. Wouldn't that be nice if he turned into something more useful than a bottom 6 mucker.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

This feels like the 8-7 game from last year against the Pens. No one is defending in that second period.

Not really his fault. Beagle served a pizza after Carlson fell

Washington Coach Killers?

Might of given an easier target to allow a safer pass instead of trying to jailbreak the D zone, but yeah largely on the pass. 29 looked sweet just skating around in open space.

Playoffs notwithstanding, they just won back to back Pres. Trophies, what "problem" do people mean?

Unless you mean 20 games into this season, which is strange considering all the roster changes.

Playoffs notwithstanding, they just won back to back Pres. Trophies, what "problem" to people mean?

Funny how that raises expectations...

 

[BiPolar Caps]

BB and Barry are passable coaches.
The other 2 are junk. Why even bring them up?

Because it's too easy and predictable to always lay a team's woes on the coaching and not fault the players as much, especially those who have played under all four coaches.

Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.

 

[Sam Spade]

Look I like Trotz, if he was fired or not re-signed in the off-season I would understand but what else does he have to prove in the regular season to people?

And again, it is 20 games in........

 

[Langway]

Quality video game action here.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Turrible.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Another deflection, this one goes bardown

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Would expect to see Gruby for the 3rd.

Winning in the regular season isn’t enough for most here in critical mode with Trotz. People want to win a certain way. Hard to look past some of the numbers, I’m just not sold that another coach flips a switch and suddenly makes them a better possession team.
