Post-Game Talk: Flames @ Capitals 7pm

[Alexander the Gr8]

Kane doesn't play in his own end at all and I would rank him as the softest player in the league. All round doesn't mean offense.

Gaudreau cherry picks and is really undersized.

He does but I still think Kane is the worst defensive player in the league.

 

[troyerlaw]

Why dont they sho reply of the ovie rocket which clanged inside of pipe

 

[GoCaps2004]

hear me out: Chaisson isn't nearly good enough to play in the NHL

 

[Corby78]

pathetic

 

[troyerlaw]

Nice effort, holts

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Way to bring it boys....garbage.

 

[Bladerunner]

Good grief... do Caps struggle when they score first?

They actually do well, but not tonite.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Participation mode.

 

[troyerlaw]

Prediction: now we will start trying hard

 

[Corby78]

So what are we good at this year? We aren't good on the PP, we aren't good on the PK, we take more penalties then we get, were not physical, were not solid defensively, we go stagnant 5v5, we don't make adjustments, and we aren't motivated. Is there anything we can hang our hat on?

 

[troyerlaw]

Full scale implosion

We participate.

Worst? There are a lot of players in the league, and when I think of the worst defensive players, I wouldn't name Kane first. So what if Gaudreau is marginally better defensively, it doesn't make up the difference between the two offensively.

Last goal was offsides but lets not replay that or the Ovie shot off the inside bar...

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Some of our guys are just clueless in front of their own net. Straight up brain dead defensively.

 

[maacoshark]

Niskanen and Orlov are out to lunch

That about covers it..we are suck.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Been a while since we’ve had such a terrible LOLtby performance, but here it is.

 

[Langway]

So I guess they're just going to vacillate between staleness and urgency on a given night depending on preceding circumstances. Just enoughism alive and well.

Niskanen has been off since he got back. I was expecting a boost from the D, and he hasn't given it to us.

Holtby is amazing, it's the one positive note.

Yet still a .500ish team, in and out of playoff position. Outside of TB lots of parity in East.

I know it seems odd. Part of that is still thinking of the team as the past two reg seasons power - whether we want to admit it.

ill be honest I took a nap and I woke up to I think three unanswered goals, wondering why I woke up
