Post-Game Talk: Blue Jackets @ Caps, 7:30PM

[VaCaps Fan]

Agony....

Its' fine, Trotz will throw Vrana in for Burakovsky but he'll probably bump DSP or Connoly up instead and make 13 ride the pine. The only significant move will be to Holtby and they'll talk about how they need to hunker down and get back to "their game".

 

[McVechkin]

there is so much blame to go around. I don’t know where to start. It’s definitely not all trotz. But he is the easiest target. Awful decisions he makes.

 

[Calicaps]

This has to be one of the worst playoff losses in Caps history. We're out in 5 or 6.

That's a long list already.

 

[kmart]

good goal 30 vs 60 shots lol

 

[Holtbyisms]

sweep, this team is an embarrassment they should just f***ing blow it up in the offseason.

 

[PB12]

Get Djoos and Vrana into the line-up, at the very least. Possibly Gersich as well.

Trotz hates kids

 

[Ovechkin]

Don't worry guys any day now we'll get a Tweet from ownership about how e-sports are real sports and how the Arena League is a real football league that people should care about.

 

[Blades of Steel]

This has to be one of the worst playoff losses in Caps history. We're out in 5 or 6.

The quicker we're out the faster this pos will be blown up = better for us.

When we lost I felt nothing I busted out laughing

I actually am pretty mad. The slightest chance I will ever see the Caps contend for a SC is almost over. It amazes how much fail happens with this team over the years no matter the opponent.

 

[Roughing]

When we lost I felt nothing I busted out laughing

Ladies and Gentlemen... Your Washington Capitals!

 

[Capsman]

These playoff avatars jinxed the living hell outta Willy.

Nothing jinxed him. Law of averages. He's not as good as that streak of play he had.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Get Djoos and Vrana into the line-up, at the very least. Possibly Gersich as well.

I doubt it, but right now might as well see what they show for the future.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Not mad....just a bit sad. Wrong coach, wrong players.

 

[Roughing]

Wilson is exactly who he is. A grinder with little skill, some speed, and like the blind squirrel finds his nut every once in a while.

So, you would think that at some point that idiot Trotz would preach shooting on goal and crashing the net for a rebound. But no...patience. Must look for the perfect shot.

He literally coached them to play anti-playoff hockey. Good thing we didn't hire Lavy like I begged them to.

They should bump up Stephenson instead.

 

[PB12]

We are in a no win situation. You can say tear it down, but unless you want to go back to square one with almost little resource. We can't add anyone because we got to resign Carlson.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Gmbm - this is on him. Trotz also for playing guys in critical situations who have no business being on the ice when time counts.

Orpik contract - he’s a liability out there

Jerabek - shouldn’t be a defenseman on this team. He looked dumb and got beat on game winner

Stephenson - kid isn’t a player that should be out there with Backstrom and Oshie to start OT. He got a prime chance and blew it - and that’s what players of his caliber does.

Kempny - yes, same thing. He blew it.

Chiasson - got absolutely owned that led to Columbus getting the puck and going down and winning

Trotz and GMBM’s choices is what costs the team both playoff games so far. Both shouldn’t be here. One has been around for a decade plus of losing - half him as GM - the other half as assistant GM. Trotz never a coach out of second round.

Drain the swamp.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Time to watch Walking Dead, f*** off Trotz! -_-

 

[Devil Dancer]

That's just pathetic. Going up 2-0 at home in consecutive games and losing both, to a mediocre opponent.

Caps finding a new way to lose in the playoffs.

 

[Calicaps]

Nothing jinxed him. Law of averages. He's not as good as that streak of play he had.

Not sure why you're harping on Wilson. He fanned on the shot but at least he thought of shooting. WTF was Niskanen doing?

 

[IafrateOvie34]

The team is well past its expiration and its core is rotten.

It's the franchise, not the core. This could have a gold medal Canada team and still lose.

 

[Roughing]

This has to be one of the worst playoff losses in Caps history. We're out in 5 or 6.

I doubt it's even on the list. This team had zero chance of winning anything this year.

 

[pocketrockets]

All you can do is laugh. Even had an OT review just to get our hopes up one last time.

 

[troyerlaw]

Amazing what happens when a team just fires at the net in overtime. As opposed to making three extra passes
