[Bladerunner]

5-4 pick 'em

bowey and chorney having a game to remember

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Bowey can't cough up that puck, that would earn him a trip to the press box if Niskanen was playing.

 

[Calicaps]

WTF was that?

 

[peterthegreat12]

Bowey needs to go back to Hershey for awhile. Wow.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Holtby should stay in his net too!

 

[bur and 666 others]

Bowey is brutal, more brutal is the shot difference: 15 vs 28

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Orpik's strong positioning enabled Bowey to do his thing on that play.

And Carlson

 

[HeyMattyB]

Sooo...is my memory right, in that the Caps have given up all four goals AND two posts directly off egregious turnovers by the defense?

 

[Devil Dancer]

Embarrassing execution tonight.

 

[Capsman]

Our defense goes as our offense goes. When the "unable to string 3 passes together" Caps take over the game, it puts tremendous pressure on any defense and allows the opponent to get more aggressive offensively.

Yeah Bowey screwed up royally but he also had no support for a pass. We really have no appreciable short passing game.

Orpik put that in our net.

 

[Bladerunner]

Well how 'bout that. Looks like Canes really want to end their playoff drought

I have been saying that Orpik isn't supporting Bowey in the transition game and it happened again.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I hate Orpik this game more so than Chorney even.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

This is chaotic, Trotz needs to calm them down

 

[Capsman]

Beagle really has a knack for blowing grade A chances. Doesn't have his stick on the ice on that first pass across the crease. Then can't get the next one off.

Are we really blaming Orpik for Bowey's inability to stay on his skates, and/or read a play?

 

[Capitals40]

Yeah but they are playing hard now..best chance to score

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Carolina is playing well but two of the four goals are self inflicted

 

[traparatus]

This is messed up. It's OK to rag on Bowey but what is he supposed to do there? His D partner is 75 feet away up the ice and he is getting forechecked. He literally has no play.

 

[bur and 666 others]

Now they started pressing. Before they were completely outplayed. Carolina had forechecked like crazy and earned their goals. We didn't. One plus of being down is to see some forecheck from us and some kind of pressure.

 

[Capsman]

Wow, nice move by OV. Thank you!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

And just like that, the great 8 ties it
