First period you’re right, just killed it on the PP.

Second period is just score effects at play.

Yes. As I said, score effects.

 

[mad4comp]

Carolina struggling mightily with the caps speed.

Whenever I hear Nino Neiderreiter I think of that Gordon Ramsey episode.... "Hello, my name's NINOOOO!"

i've been wondering for years, WHO is the canes announcer? i freaking love this guy, remember his days when he was on versus and he's had me as a fan since. would love to see him replace Doc on NBCSN and actually do nationally televised games. he's amazing, gets me so hyped

The canes are shooting from the outside a bunch too. They really haven't looked threatening at all.

John Forslund. He’s the best. Been with the Canes since they were the Whalers. We’re all rooting for Doc to hang on as long as possible so we can keep John.

Canes fans ignoring the phyiscal pounding the Caps have put on their team tonight.

 

[ObsceneJesster]

Washington did this all last year as well. Come playoffs, they play all defense and let the other team tire themselves out on the forecheck. They play physical and wear you down. Once they have you where they want, they strike. Sometimes this play style bites them and sometimes it works out.

This is exactly the quantity vs quality debate. What you consider “outplaying” might not be someone else’s lol.


The Caps bide their time and make the most of their chances, the Canes have had a few great chances but I can’t even remember most of their shots. The Caps have looked better to me since the first 10 min, at worst even.

Canes have more hits, 33-27, but quality =/= quantity

um, we're losing the game, but to suggest we're getting pounded? Yeah, that's not quite accurate.

Love this, spot on. They are opportunistic. They’ve learned from their opponents the previous few years. The Caps early Trotz years dominated possession, but took loads of crap shots from the outside until they had no gas left.

I can't remember very many dangerous chances at 5v5 for the Caps either. Shots at 5v5 are 19-8.

i love the canes, but damn y'all have had him far too long

Haha, you like what you like man. Although I'd beg you to get a bottle of 14 yr Oban or 15 yr Lagavulin to get a true taste of the good stuff!

 

[Drake1588]

Forslund is great, but I can't take the Tripp Tracy of it all when I check out their broadcasts. Even as a Caps fan, I find the Canes a fun team in general. We've a big soft spot for Williams.

The Caps could have 4 goals from their official shots on net, and a 5th was way open who decided not to pass or shoot.

The Caps have definitely been getting quality plays, not all perimeter shots.they get to the scoring areas, the Canes have had good defensive sticks
