Poor poor effort tonight.... Nowhere near enough pressure in the 3rd and for f***s sakes hit the f***en net.
I thought that was going in. Alex Tuch had an opportunity. That's just a testament to Holtby. We should be in OT right now.
Tuch just couldn't get any lift on it.
Washington seized on their open net opportunities, and that's a big reason why this game went the way that it did.
Tuch just couldn't get any lift on it.
Their third goal took a bounce off a defenders skate and another defenders elbow and then off the ice and over Fleury's pad. We played poorly but that was a one in one hundred goal to go along with the one in one hundred save. Team was still in it. It sucks but you've got to move forward and be confident you can play better and turn that stuff around.
And I know Tuch is under pressure on that play but with a wide open net you gotta lift that ****. The puck wasn't rolling. He had time to try to dig at that puck before shooting. He just tried to brute force it forward and that's not gonna give you any lift. If this series starts going sour that missed opportunity is gonna be a key stinging moment.
Ahhh, you mean like after sjs crushed us....Absolutely deserved to lose that one. No question. I know this isn't a team that loves to prepare based on game tape but if they haven't been already it's time to ****ing start. Washington clearly has. They position themselves in such a way that you just know they know exactly what Vegas is gonna do and they're ready to stop it before it starts. We got outworked, outcoached, and worse the defense beat itself. It took three periods for the Knights to learn they have to cut off the creasefront lane. The series isn't over by any stretch but it will be if they keep playing like that.
The truth is that that goal just looked so big. The big thing about this Knights team, and I saw in the Winnipeg series and I saw it Monday night, is they can score and tie it up or add on to/retake the lead almost immediately after getting scored on. Washington badly needed that insurance goal, and the save by Holtby is what everybody will be talking about from now until Game 3.
Off to Washington all tied up.

Well, at least there will be a game five in Las Vegas.
Tuch always does that. Remember how many wide open nets he had at LA that he missed and Quick kept stoning his low shots. He has to just do what Karlsson and Smith do and just keep the stick down and chip it upwards into a wide open net.
I hope the caps keep stinking it up at home. I do want Kuzy to play because if we win with him out, the excuses will fly.
Honestly hope Kuzy isn't hurt. Hate seeing injuries, especially in the final series.
Did it look bad on tv? I read online that it was a wrist and hand injury. McNabb is the only guy I've seen that can hip check well. He must have learned it from the kings. I know that they love to do that and raise people into the bench.

Not yet, no. But this is two games where they're playing like they're intimidated. I don't doubt they can bounce back and find the right mindset but tonight the confidence wasn't there from the beginning.Ahhh, you mean like after sjs crushed us....
This team will have no problem with confidence.
