I'm tired. Please win, Caps.

Oh, and make sure the CORRECT bobblehead candidate wins (aka J-Will's afro)

I hope they remember what happened year ago in this match-up.

Need to play 60 minutes to win this one.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Why do we lose the vast majority of the games against the Sharks? They're a good team, but we shouldn't be getting our butts kicked 5-0.

 

[Coldplay619]

Ovi and Backis and kind of terrible possession wise together.

They bleed shots against.

Polls won't close until the 2nd period. Do well in the one period people are watching. Everything afterwards doesn't matter.

 

[John Price]

Just vote Holtby.

 

[ovikovy817]

San Jose , L3
Washington, W5

Continue the streak!! (Both)

 

[John Price]

Polls have Holtby winning anyway by a landslide. Williams and Wilson in second by a wide margin.

I love how seriously players are taking the vote. Players literally aren't talking to each other because they didn't vote for them. Lol.

The system's rigged. I've voted for Stick twenty times now, but it's not making any difference

That could explain why he's been playing like garbage

Have you seen anything physically apparent in his play to this year to indicate he's been playing hurt? His play to me, seemed like it was full of bad decisions and mental blunders, not bad play because he couldn't skate or shoot/pass due to an upper or lower body injury.....dunno....would be awesome if he started playing like a #1 again that's for sure.

He seems a bit slow to me. He's looked like he's lumbering out there. Normally he takes two strides and he's up the ice... not so much this year. Who knows though, this could be my confirmation bias talking.

He looks like he's frequently losing his focus and he's slower to turn than he usually is. Could be a little thing that bothers him and takes his attention away from the game.

Damn it if he's hurt let him rest. It's not like he's helping us to win games right now.

Carlson has been slow. I commented recently that maybe he was still feeling the injury from last season. So maybe it was something fresh.

Yes. He's been slower than Brooks Orpik.

This started when he got injured at the start of 2016, hope it's nothing long-term.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Slow to react, Not as explosive, maybe, but his foot speed seems fine to me, dunno hope that's it and it's behind him.

I think the mental blunders have been clearly apparent more so than a physical issue...who knows.

I'm sure he's dinged up like every hockey player is at times who works through it.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Caps lost both games to San Jose last season and not by a little so I say they win this one. Why not?

Oh and Willy's volleyball bobblehead is AMAZING!!!

Go Caps!

 

[Devil Dancer]

Caps still haven't beaten any really good teams. I know the Sharks are sliding right now, but it would still be nice for the Caps to win this one and show they aren't the same team that coasted in the second half of 15-16.

 

[ovikovy817]

Bura-Eller-Wilson as 3rd line. If they are dominant, it will be a good sign for the postseason.
