I was thinking the other night.

Home ice vs Bruins or Isles = good
Home ice vs Pens = don't care

If we have to play Pens in the playoffs we all know how it will start
Game 1 win for Pens
Game 2 win for Caps

So it's maybe even better to start on the road with them so we can play without any pressure in the first 2 games.

I dont get not carrying about game 7 home ice v Pittsburgh. I will take every advantage possible. Win tonight

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Welp. That is a loss. Craig is a great guy but arguably not an NHL talent anymore.

Seriously, Pit leads the League in home wins right now.

 

[zappa4ever]

The song remains the same...
Win 2 in Reg. and we're guaranteed 1st
With BOS + PIT both having 3pm games we'll better know where things stand by gametime

Hope the team shows up tonight vs. last night's low energy output
Play a full game and get Mr. Anderson et al a big W

Seriously, Pit leads the League in home wins right now.

PIT has 2 60 minutes W against WSH this season (1 at home)
Not scared.

With everyone spent this is the kind of game you hope turns into a lower key 1-0 territory battle. Need some virtuoso netminding tonight to take the pressure off the tired skaters.

have faith bro.

2nd time is the charm!

Agree, though I honestly expect them to be less depleted tonight. It wasn't really physical exhaustion, IMO, so much as mental/emotional. That should be further in the rear view now.

 

[GoCaps2004]

Again, see no reason why Pilon shouldn’t get a look. Carr isn’t doing anything

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

If you want the division, win in regulation. Let's go Caps!!!

Oh and Let's go Slugs!!! I think they may have wrapped up last place so they can safely win now.

Umm..history suggests the home ice is anything but advantage when it's game 7 and it's Pittsburgh. I'd actually prefer it to be on the road if the Caps happen to find themselves in that situation this year.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

I don’t care about home ice vs the Pens, it hasn’t helped us in the past. We clinched every round on the road in 2018. Game 6 @ CBJ, game 6 @ PIT, game 7 @ TBL and game 5 @ VGK.

Bring it on

Anderson won his one game this season. Did he not? If he doesnt, we can blame Samsonov.

He's 1-1 in 2 starts I think.

Also, the Caps have taken 5 of 7 from Philly this year. Why assume they'll blow 2 in a row?

Playoff Craig in net tonight.

Just checked. 3 games. 1 start. 1-0-0

 

[tenken00]

That first game in relief of Sammy or VV, I forget who, Anderson looked atrocious. But the guy hadn't played a game in a year.

He has been solid after that game, not spectacular but solid if I remember correctly.

Ya his play didn’t inspire confidence. You never know though, worse goalies have caught fire in the playoffs before.

Goalies don't win games. The Capitals won the game he started. He had an .885 save percentage and that was good enough for the team to be able to win that particular game.
