[Wolfpuck]

In other news, go Rangers and Sabres

 

[TheBigKahuna]

Shutout?

 

[Wolfpuck]

Shutout?

At least Holtby is (sort of) earning it, unlike Budaj

 

[mgilmartin]

Too much chasing.. hung ward out to dry..

This team needs to get healthy fast or they're gonna sink to the bottom

Pretty much. We don't have a chance to beat anyone except maybe Florida and NYI until our regulars get back.

 

[Lazyking]

Jokinen needs to be waived. useless ****.

 

[rocky7]

I feel bad if we don't win this because Semin is working hard out there it's just not happening. Even though the complaints are that he is lazy or whatever he's clearly not being lazy out there but I don't think people will recognize since it's not on the scoreboard. I really hope we come back and win. Start the third period we need Westgarth to fight after the powerplay especially if we don't get a score on it. Then we need to have some intensity and urgency. WE NEED TO WIN!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed! Best player out there and he can't do it all alone. Some Caps fans are utterly classless. If not for Ward, this game would be 6-0, against the last place team with a rookie coach.

 

[Aussie Hurricane]

Do meth for seth

 

[Wolfpuck]

I don't really care about our injuries. The guys on the ice don't collectively give enough of a **** to stop this season from derailing.

On the topic of classless fans, anyone know why the Caps fans are booing Semin? I thought they didn't care about losing him anyway.

 

[Jussijuice]

They won't sink to the bottom.

Will win just enough games to end up in a win-and-in situation last game of the season... And come out flat. Because who wants a decent draft pick?

Couldn't have said it better.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

Find the team with the worst pro scouting team in the league and see what you can get for Jokinen. I'd much rather Bowman in the lineup over him at this point.

 

[Beardy*]

This team was getting blown out by the Southeast before injuries.

This team just isn't that good

 

[What the Faulk]

No matter how many times you say that, it's simply not true.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Surprised at how many here seem to think that effort, not talent, is the problem.

A reminder:

Faulk - Corvo
Harrison - Gragnani
Sanguinetti - Murphy

 

[Finlandia WOAT]

Yes, let's forget the 4-1-1 road trip, or the .700 record before injuries hit.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

You mean in the whopping two games they played against the Southeast? What about the other 10 games prior to the injuries?

not to mention that when you take Skinner out, you've got one scoring line. effort will only carry you so far.

I totally agree, and I think you can pin some of this on injuries, but it's not like the effort's there tonight either...

 

[Aussie Hurricane]

I feel Faulk has had a very rough game

 

[My Special Purpose]

We're now 0-5-0 vs. the Southeast, with 7 goals for and 21 goals against.

We like our group.

 

[MD]

well at least buffalo is up 2-1 on tampa

Tampa's going to win like 8-2, it's what they do when we lose.

it certianly wasn't there in the first two periods.. they were battling a little better here in the third..

But even max effort on Thursday, I don't expect to beat the pens..

And Brent, and Ruutu.

The team we have on the ice is nothing like the one we put together this summer. Half these guys are AHL'ers and a lot of the rest are flotsam from the waiver pool. Things are going the way they are expected to go when that happens.
