The Rags are uneven and sometimes a pretty effective hockey team. If today's opponent had been a better team like the Bruins, they would have eaten up the Caps during the third period.
Pretty much had the game under control all the way to the 3rd allowed goal that very well could have been a back breaker. Goaltending, power play and faceoffs are the three main questions with this team that must be addressed sooner than later. They give up too many easy goals either on an absolutely blown coverage in front or some foolish goalie mistakes. Not optimistic about the overall picture right now.
They need to figure out the center situation. I wonder if that might hasten a Panik trade just to simply open up cap space for Pilon/Sgarbossa. Siegenthaler would also work but guessing they'll hold him for now.
That last Rangers PP goal, maybe we could take a page out of that book? Our guy down low behind the goal line really has no role except to pass into the slot or back to Backstrom. Maybe bring him up once in a while?
