So we were told the plan was “stay competitive for Ovie to score.” Now what? We are not rebuilding, we’re not retooling, and we aren’t competitive. We don’t have an identity or style of play. What is the plan here??

 

[Langway]

Shrug.

I’ve asked myself the same thing. I think it is to wait for some often injured old guys to come back and hope they save us. That is all I see.

All part of the master plan to draft Bedard and win the Cup with him in Ovi’s final season

 

[IafrateOvie34]

This team won't go anywhere good or bad if they don't do traffic work. This perimeter stuff is an example of poor hockey and not success. There are a handful on the roster healthy who will sacrifice to get in the dirty areas.

 

[Brian23]

Mantha has all the negatives you could have from Vrana but none of the positives. What an awful trade.

Other than, you know, being in the lineup…

 

[troyerlaw]

Milano looks kinda twitchy and coked up, lol.

Carly does something good. 3-2

Knowing how Vrana turned out on Detroit, it appears to be a lose/lose trade

 

[IafrateOvie34]

What do you know net traffic in the dirty areas gets a goal.

 

[twabby]

Caps get away with interference and take advantage. Well done Carlson!

 

[Capsman]

Thank God it didn’t go to the PP.

 

[troyerlaw]

I mean, Vrana is out for substance-abuse program, so it’s basicaly a wash

 

[Brian23]

So the coaches benched one and not the other. Curious. Almost like you can question their decision making.

 

[twabby]

Veteran move by Gudas to take momentum away from DC by taking a penalty

 

[Capsman]

PP. OK, can we get the tying goal in the last 5:42?

 

[troyerlaw]

4th line draws penalty. Cue the slingshot

 

[Brian23]

Audio screwing up for anyone else or just on my end?

 

[Devil Dancer]

Hey look, change up the PP and it looks kind of dangerous. At least for 45 seconds.

 

[twabby]

Florida is really parking the bus here. Looks familiar

 

[Corby78]

Well we have about thre minutes to tie it, once the goalie is pulled it’s an auto goal for florida

 

[troyerlaw]

PP looks better with Ovie in slot. Much more puck movement, new looks from right side

 

[YippieKaey]

The third period seems to indicate that the Caps lineup must feed on the negative energy on this board. Let's keep it going!

It’s amazing how quickly we give up the ENG, every time

The third period seems to indicate that the Caps lineup must feed on the negative energy on this board

That’s why they look at iPads between shifts

 

[DWGie26]

It’s clear to me that the problem is on dee. None of the pairs are good. No more Fever and Jensen please. With Orlov back:

Orlov-JC74
Gus-Jensen
Fever-TVR
