[Neil Racki]

6-4 would be better than 7-3

Locker stuck in 2010.

 

[Corby78]

Locker has no clue

 

[Capsman]

He is very ineffective

Wilson is what he is. Nice complimentary piece if he has great linemates, good utility guy who can do a few things well, but a borderline 2nd line talent/good 3rd line player. If he can’t play hard, forecheck well, and be a menace without borderline suspension worthy plays, then he’s not a ton of value.

Green to Ovy and score.

What do you know, after giving the Bruins 4 straight PP’s to get in the game, the Refs miss a clear call against them on a penalty that isn’t even an interpretation call, it’s black and white.

Watching on delay and buzzing thru. Looks like Conner Shery has two goals skating on the 4th line. I’ve been drinking, is that correct ?

I just realized that Caps games aren't as fun to watch anymore because I haven't been getting drunk anymore.

Turn it off while you still can to avoid your eyes hurting.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Locker has no clue

His mind is still on Dewar's after last game.

 

[arlcapsfan]

This

correct

normally I’d go on a Hagelin rant but maybe we have bigger issues….

Yes we have much bigger issues. They have been festering for awhile and now they are being exposed.

He got two gifts and buried them, something Hagelin doesn’t do so that’s a plus

 

[pman25]

Yes but the Hagelin love from Lavi is indicative of a larger concern around coaching decisions. The coaching has been exposed ever since the Boston playoff series. Poor powerplay, deployments, whatever it is. It’s crap

 

[Baszie]

Just looked at the stats. If you would believe them the caps are dominating.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I never agree with RMNB but this is hella accurate.

Yes but also… we wouldn’t have done squat with the PP

 

[caps4cup]

Yes but also… we wouldn’t have done squat with the PP

Even with how poor their PP is, there’s still a better chance they score at 5v4 than 5v5.

 

[tycoonheart]

We rarely lost leads like this during the Trotz era. In fact I think we had a gaudy win record when heading into 3rd period with a lead. There is something wrong with how Lavi coaches these situations, I think. When the other team pushes back, we get pushed around. We have no answer. And eventually we spiral out of control. Trotz had a calm demeanor and that transferred over to the players I think.

Also, the more vets we get back the worse we seem to play. There was something about having all those young players on the team that seemed to energize everyone.

 

[twabby]

It’s been dumb penalties and questionable goaltending tonight, along with some precise finishing from Boston.

I still think goaltending is quite random but these guys seem like they are some of the worst goalies in the NHL. I’d fire the goaltending coach, it’s been years of subpar goaltending.

I know, i’m just in a bad mood watching this crappy effort

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Hot Take Time

This team was better with more of the young guys from the Bears in the line-up. They look old and slow again tonight.

 

[tenken00]

Alright. Time to see what the boys are made of. And if they aren't made of anything, at least I got beer now so it wont hurt as much

 

[troyerlaw]

Frederic conveniently unavail for 3rd
