Post-Game Talk: Caps Preds 8:00 the return of the nisky

[BiPolar Caps]

Playoffs notwithstanding, they just won back to back Pres. Trophies, what "problem" do people mean?

Unless you mean 20 games into this season, which is strange considering all the roster changes.

I'm with you, I have no problem with Trotz. If a coaching change is to be made it should be after the season and not during this season.

Terrible offensive zone penalty by Kuzy

 

[Sam Spade]

Winning in the regular season isn’t enough for most here in critical mode with Trotz. People want to win a certain way. Hard to look past some of the numbers, I’m just not sold that another coach flips a switch and suddenly makes them a better possession team.

They were over 50% CF last year and in the playoffs won the possession battle most games. I love advanced stats but I have no idea anymore how to correlate them to PLAYOFF victories.

I just wonder how much different the last two seasons might have been had they not had to deal their greatest stumbling block in the Pens.

Because it's too easy and predictable to always lay a team's woes on the coaching and not fault the players as much, especially those who have played under all four coaches.

Victory has a thousand fathers but defeat is an orphan.

One of these guys is teaching kids right now and the other is some kind of "advisor." And they both coached the Caps a few years ago. Trash-ass coaches!

 

[PegulasSportsEmpire]

Awful defense.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Pull Holtby.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Is this team even coached?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Valiant effort but he’s like the little boy with his finger in the dam.

 

[Bladerunner]

Awful, now getting ugly

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I just yelled “YOU POS Kuzy” at the tv. Dude is mental. Shoot the ****ing puck.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Would like to see what the Nashville fan base would do if it was Vitek Vanacek in goal for the Caps.

 

[Sam Spade]

See Taylor Chorney was the glue holding it all together.

 

[philip]

how come Djoos only played 6 mins?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It’s been a while since I cared enough to yell angrily at a Caps game on TV. Think I’ll skip the 3rd and play SOM.

 

[Capsman]

I don’t care that we scored 3 goals this period, the game has all the markings of Trotz’s offensive coaching suckage. There’s a reason guys are often not ready to shoot; they’re not on the same page half the time.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I just yelled “YOU POS Kuzy” at the tv. Dude is mental. Shoot the ****ing puck.

He could be a 30 goal scorer if only he shot the puck more often.

 

[Corby78]

We’re acting and playing like little bitches. This is one of those games where the captains should hold a come to Jesus closed door team meetings after. I would be shocked it that happened

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Yup...all on Trotz. Grab the lynchin ropes.

 

[Sam Spade]

Last six games Caps gave up 10 goals total, they are going to match that in this one I think.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

He could be a 30 goal scorer if only he shot the puck more often.

I KNOW!!! my patience with him is at an alltime low.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Question for the get rid of Trotz crowd here, who's out there that you believe could step in right now and do a better job? Disco Dan

 

[maacoshark]

I KNOW!!! my patience with him is at an alltime low.

Ya Kuzy can be a very frustrating player. All sorts of skill but a bit of a flake.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Roenick: "The Caps top two lines need to take a page out of the workers book and do like the Caps 4th line on the second goal."

Sorry JR, they can't. At least not the Kuznetsov line.

When will people start to realize/except that the coaches are not the problem? This is a broken core that peaked years ago. Things will never change until the core does.

He is not a player you win a cup with. Kuzy and Holtby would be my first two sell high players to rebuild the team with. No band-aids to try to win this year or next. Young players with upside and hopes to get a team with some speed and skill.
