Gotta love Eller getting called on one cross check and then draws no call when he took like 4 or 5?

 

[troyerlaw]

Eller did flop. He went down on this first crosscheck

And then got up to absorb three more

 

[troyerlaw]

Bura’s speed is welcome. But he looks rusty for sure. How about that pass to Connolly from about 5 feet away, with two defenders in immediate area and at the blue line, to boot. That was a cycle killer.

 

[maacoshark]

Terrible period. Maybe they'll have themselves some strong coffee during the break.

We are lucky its only 1 to 0

Ya that killed the cycle. On another play Orlov was dancing at the blue line instead of getting the puck deep and he got forced out of the zone.

If he went down again he likely would have gotten an embellishment penalty.

How many embellishment calls are made that don’t have an accompanying minor on the other team? I feel like the number is in the single digits annually.

Just take a dive. Worst case is 4v4.

Did Caps forget there was a game tonight?

 

[Corby78]

We didn’t come to play today, night all see ya tomorrow

 

[Calicaps]

This is going well.

 

[maacoshark]

Wow this team looks awful today.

 

[Langway]

Hey, it's the one gear Washington Capitals.

 

[Bladerunner]

Same start 2 pds running, only 2X worse

 

[GoCaps2004]

fun game

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

10 years and we can’t give an honest effort for more than a game or two tops....

 

[troyerlaw]

Good shift by top line anyway

 

[maacoshark]

Finally a pp

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Get Chaisson off Kuzy's line goddamnit. Anybody else will do.

Put Burt there, or DSP.

fun game

Tavares goal was especially fun because we had four guys below the dot and none were remotely useful or effective. Tavares had days and days to line that one up and pot it

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I have a final study, can't watch that shit

 

[Sam Spade]

Eh, can't win 'em all.

 

[troyerlaw]

Next time we should try playing like this at the beginning of the game. Or any time during the first period

I don't expect a comeback, but the game ain't over yet either.
