Post-Game Talk: Capitals vs Swamp Cats, 7:30 @ Verizon

[GoCaps2004]

Have we seen one of the last games if not the last game of Galiev?

and laich too?

 

[AtNightWeFly]

can any single person explain why laich was getting so much ice time when we actually had a chance to come back? and Zack ****ing Sill on with the empty net while Kuzentsov was on the bench? what the ****

Barry had a coach fail tonight.

Maybe see what the team has going into the trade deadline.

Unless you get KHL to where you live, propably.

 

[Capsman]

Fla has wrapped the puck around and out of their zone up those left boards over and over and over again. And consistently nobody is there to stop it. All about timing, which we had none of.

 

[bur and 666 others]

why not continue empty net even though we were scored on? i mean we are loosing anyway, why not to try to score and practice for the next time and playoffs?

 

[pocketrockets]

Not sweating this loss. Just get healthy please

 

[bobbybobcat11]

Panthers are a legitimate team now. They have a stud core group coupled with some of the better vets in the league. I wonder how they will fair once Luongo/Jagr are no longer with them. But that core of Huberdeau, Barkov, Ekblad, and Bjugstad is a great group to build around for sure

 

[g00n]

I wonder if we'll see more games like this as Trotz and company try to keep from getting strung out down the stretch

 

[hb12xchamps]

Send down Stan Galiev and dump Laich

Send down Stan Galiev and dump Laich

Im pretty sure they've been trying to do that for a while

Flu like symptoms according to Joe B

Hopefully not the real flu. That goes through a team.

 

[EroCaps]

Eh, Caps carried most of that game.

No Ovechkin. No Holtby. No Orpik.

Not panicking. On the plus side, maybe they won't get complacent at the deadline.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

If he has the flu you put him in quarantine for a few days. We have way too many injuries right now, we don't need diseases spreading. If Chorney is out, Stanton plays?

I don't really care that we lost tonight (no one will remember that when the playoffs start), but at least we get to **** up the Isles and quiet their crybaby fans. We haven't had two consecutive regulation losses with 48 games in the book, and we're still 15 pts ahead of the Rags.

 

[Calicaps]

All of this. Also no Mojo. (Can't believe that's become a factor, but there it is.)

I stopped watching at 3-0. We are blaming Galiev why? He wasn't on for a goal against. He's not the reason they lost. 3 goals in 11 shots wasn't good. the pp without 8 and 90 didn't produce.

But its Galiev?

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

All of this. Also no Mojo. (Can't believe that's become a factor, but there it is.)

Don't forget Beagle
The line up we iced tonight is a hybrid between the healthy lineup, the Hershey Bears and the press box leftovers. I was expecting this result.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

All of this. Also no Mojo. (Can't believe that's become a factor, but there it is.)

And no Beagle. I miss him.

 

[Capitals40]

This is not a surprise, or a bad thing. Plus there is no way to keep up the win percentage...just not sustainable...especially with our schedule. Yes we have injuries, but so does almost every team in the league. All I care about is come playoff time we are primed, healthy and ready to go.

No reason to call out individual players....only the 2nd game in 2 weeks...sometimes losses are a good thing.

 

[RandyHolt]

Our team is largely set. Trotz already knows what lines he likes. I think its wise to prepare for adversity that is guaranteed in a long run.

Richards on PK1, Wilson getting PP time, at minimum testing them in new roles and keeping them motivated.

Galiev wasn't to blame, but given a HUGE opportunity, he had nothing and was invisible. The first line was irrelevant Langley as a result of that.

We're not blaming him. All we're doing is pointing out his uselessness!

He still hasn't scored a goal.

The Caps pp relies on that diagonal pressure between the right wing corner and left point. Both of those guys were missing. Not surprised that they struggled. 90 is more important to pp1 than people realize I think.

True but when you play a game or two and then sit for 5 or 6 it's tough...I still think he will play a roll come playoff time.

he doesn't get to play. hell burt looks crappy just playing on the 4th line. imagine if he played one game a month
