Post-Game Talk: Jets Caps 7:00

[Coldplay619]

Orlov is generally better this fall comparing to last.

Just as you say that.

 

[SpinningEdge]

This team just can't ever do it easy. Blowing a multi goal lead again to the same team two nights apart.


This is a team that seems like they know they're really good - and feel like they can just decide to really start playing when they want. Need more killer instinct STILL it seems...

 

[twabby]

Williams and/or Backstrom blew a defensive assignment in the slot. Lowry was wide open.

 

[trick9]

John Carlson with a dumb pass that leads to a goal.

3-0 lead and as a last D you try that pass on the PP.

Williams and Backstrom covering no one on that 3-2 goal. Lowry was wide open.

Williams and/or Backstrom blew a defensive assignment in the slot. Lowry was wide open.

It looked like Nick cruised on past because he thought 14 was covering the slot

 

[maybam]

Williams just doesn't seem very smart at times.

 

[Calicaps]

And here we go..

 

[4thTierSport]

Awesome, Caps get called for a phantom Holding and then Oshie is clearly Crosschecked/Interfered with and nothing.

 

[twabby]

Wow they called Orpik too? That was a clear dive.

 

[Capsman]

If there is one constant in Trotz's tenure with the Caps, besides not getting past the 2nd round, it's that we rarely ever win comfortably.

 

[4thTierSport]

Why was ANYTHING called there? I'll take that trade every time but there were no penalties there.

 

[Hivemind]

Don't think either player should have been penalized. Schiefele jumped out of the way, Orpik did nothing.

 

[HTFN]

Orpik 2 minutes for hipping.

 

[Devil Dancer]

Where's the slot coverage in the 3rd? Terrible.

 

[Hivemind]

what. the. ****.

 

[trick9]

Thanks for giving away the momentum, 74.

3-3 now.

 

[Calicaps]

Goddammit!!!

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Great stuff.

 

[pman25]

Lots of guys standing around. No legs

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Welp...

 

[HTFN]

Where's the slot coverage in the 3rd? Terrible.

Johansson tries to turn with possession instead of just ramming it into the corners, screws up, turns around and doesn't even get a crosscheck in on Dano....

 

[Hivemind]

Carlson on the ice for all three Jets goals.

 

[troyerlaw]

Lots of guys standing around. No legs

Some guys still have legs. Beagle, oshie, schmidt.

Just an absolute vomit smear of a 3rd period

 

[Capsman]

Lots of guys standing around. No legs

I think much of it has to do with the defensive "chasing pucks" approach with a lead. Burns a lot more energy. There's something fundamentally wrong with the way the Caps play once they get 2-3 goals.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I liked it better last year when they won by coming from behind every night.
