Post-Game Talk: Caps and Rangers 12:30 PM

How many bad plays is Orpik going to make today? Blew his coverage off the face off.

Total BS on that goal, the Rangers center never put his stick down and swung his stick with the linesman dropping the puck.

You're joking, right? Schmidt was beaten like a drum by his man and left Orpik out to dry on a 2-on-1.

Announcers blamed Schmidt though.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

The Rangers have, what, 5 shots in the last 30 minutes? Caps have skated circles around them since the first.

i hate that shot by orlov. we have extended pressure and possession in their zone and orlov takes a shot from the point with no screen. idiotic

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Announcers blamed Schmidt though.

That's because it was Schmidt's fault.

 

[SimplySensational]

Ovi was so open why did Schmidt shoot that...

 

[AtNightWeFly]

This game is not even entertaining. :/

Losing the right way.

ovie sucking doesn't help. Killing perfect cycle and any momentum for us

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Pretty easily the least intimidating Rangers team I can remember. If they don't create offense on the break they can't sustain any play in the offensive zone. Their defense is too slow to keep up in the defensive zone causing them to get hemmed in for periods of play at a time. There's no elite gamebreaker at forward. Board play is below average. The King looks good, though, and McD is a beast.

Shots are still 29-30 so it's not exactly a crime that they are down 2-1. Just not a really good game.

 

[GoCaps2004]

understandably, everyone looks dead. no one is skating

 

[Langway]

The top six can **** off. Back-to-back weak efforts living on the perimeter.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

This weekend went about as well as I'd expected.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Not getting the bounces we were getting during the streak. Looked like a typical Caps playoff game.

 

[Calicaps]

Doom!

 

[Bladerunner]

2 games back from the break... 3 total goals... 2 Ls (1 in SO ).

I just hope this isn't a trend like last season after the snow storm delays.

praying rn tbh

 

[Capsman]

Let's call it what it is. This iteration of OV, at least 5 on 5, is a bad player, a liability frankly. The less he touches the puck the better.

 

[Valhuen]

Officially in a mini slump, hope they can solve this quickly, have a feeling the Pens will be 3-points back after today.

 

[artilector]

Not too bad.

Lack of sharpness, good goalies, afternoon games... Caps started to look like themselves in the last two periods.

Just need to build the game back up.

 

[peterthegreat12]

I thought Eller, Orlov, and Kuznetsov looked good.

Ovechkin scored a goal but still just coasts his way through 90% of the game. Never engages in a puck battle, and floats. He has to clean up his game.
