Post-Game Talk: Capitals vs. BJs at 7pm

[Nice]

This rule is just the worst

 

[troyerlaw]

Is it just me or this the most boring caps team we've seen in years? I know its early but they've struggled to generate anything this season.

I see no spark or fire or joy in their game. Bad case of the blahs

What in the world happened to our power play?

Vanished with the hitting

What in the world happened to our power play?

Kuznetsov, Ovechkin and Carlson suck.

 

[troyerlaw]

Carlson was atrocious on that PP

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

Williams has become an offense killer and Kuzy is absolutely MIA.

 

[Devil Dancer]

This rule is just the worst

Great example of a solution in search of a problem.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

At least one point

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

I don't understand why this team shuts down when they have the lead. It is so infuriating to watch. How many times have we given up a lead now?

 

[troyerlaw]

+ backstrom, wilson, oshie, grubs

- everyone else

 

[Calicaps]

Great example of a solution in search of a problem.

I'm so mixed on this. If the linesman gets the call right to start then there's no goal so yeah, it's a problem. On the other hand, of the league wants more scoring, you can't be nullifying great plays like that.

 

[troyerlaw]

Ovie on the ice? Goal against. Book it

This

 

[Bladerunner]

Thank god we have these reviews to take away goals based on meaningless offsides that don't affect the play at all.

NHL has to control the explosion of goals due to decreasing goalie equipment a few millimeters

And now another loss after scoring first !

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Well that was typical Caps.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Great effort.

Hunter Capitals were pretty boring to watch, they just gave you a heart attack becuase it was always clsoe.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

This team looks like it has an identity crisis.

 

[Capsman]

I really need to get out to Kettler and watch a practice to know for sure. But this does not look like a team that practices a quick, crisp passing attack much. Or odd man rushes for that matter. Just think Trotz has his priorities. Makes the team look a lot slower than it is.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Caps have let down Grubi again. I'd be furious if I was him.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

This rule is just the worst

It's like NBA reviewing traveling

And we lost great

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Right on queue, his man leaves him in the dust, and easily scores. **** poor.

There were what, two blatant off sides goals in the years leading up to the rule change? Now we get goals called back all the time on plays no one would have noticed in the past.

Bad rule.

 

[RandyHolt]

If you can review offsides they should also review penalties.

Offsides should be a subjective call, not under a microscope so long after the fact. A player clearly trying to stay onside, and is not offside to the naked eye even to opposition fans, play on.
