Post-Game Talk: Caps vs Flyers 7pm Nov 6

[SpinningEdge]

Can’t win if you can’t score. Bad loss.

 

[Corby78]

when does TJ come back?

 

[895]

Who had that horrendous giveaway?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Sheary is a guy I've seen enough of.

Schultz for me. I look each day to see if he is waived, traded, or whatever.

 

[crab]

Sheary should not be on the ice at the end of the game when we need a goal. Terrible coaching choice.

 

[Liam Smith]

Eller has taken a step and a half back this year unfortunately

 

[Hivemind]

Can’t only play one period and expect to win. I blame the audio guy

That last 2 mins was all about who wasn't there... they didn't change the 6 man unit for the final 2 mins. By the end they were all gassed and couldn't forecheck anymore. THe entire 2nd line being out was felt there.

PL just still doesn't have enough confidence in the kids to play them in crunch time.

Kids the only ones to score, and Lavi still was dipping heavily on Eller and Sheary down the last few minutes of the game. Shame.

PL needs to stop acting like an old fart coach and get over it

 

[Capsman]

I will never understand the continued support Forsythe gets. From the head coaches to some posters here.

 

[maacoshark]

Why is 73 out there on the 6v5 instead of 24 or 49?

Agreed. I might have had both of them out on the ice. Sheary and Eller could have parked their butt on the bench.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone support Forsythe

 

[txpd]

Now that is a bubble team.

If you watch his interviews, you have to question how he has any enthusiasm and motivating players.

 

[Baszie]

Martin Jones is in net. If Ovie doesn't pot one or three, I might actually be upset

Too bad I won't be able to catch this game tonight. Which means he'll get a hatty probably.

please stop doing this!

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

This season is a good example of why a player like Vrana got so frustrated under PL. The kids played a great game but who gets rewarded at the end? Players who haven’t done shit. Great way to kill motivation.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Remember when Evason was untouchable, lol.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Eller has taken a step and a half back this year unfortunately

Him being replaced with CMM (he’s ready) and having Hathaway/Hagelin being replaced with Leason/Lapierre makes the team arguably better and 5 million cheaper

Who supports him? For me its only logical that if one head coach after another keeps him when that is extremely rare to happen once much less repeatedly, that there is something that he does that cant be replaced. Since we dont know what that is and its impossible for us to know what his actual job description is, I prefer to just let it ride.

For instance I could say that if you feel that strongly, the Caps could fire MacLellan and the new gm could replace the whole coaching staff. Except that has happened and didnt work.

This is some real weasel words. You defend him every chance you get (even now), but you won’t admit to supporting him.

5th in division with games In hand. When other teams catch up with be 6th or 7th.

no surprise. We were a bubble team at start of year with this roster - but team is being managed very bad too.

 

[txpd]

Before I forget, the Flyers broadcast did a really nice tribute to JoeB and Locker.

I think one or 2 of the kids should have gotten an opportunity bat the end.
They earned it.

To be fair most teams are bubble teams when they are missing half their top 6. We looked much better when we were only missing 19
