Post-Game Talk: Flyers @ 2K22 Tunguska "Grison" 7:07pm

Well, one thing is true, this is on the coach. He benched Jensen, like we all wanted, and they fell apart. Reirden , and apparently us, are all too stupid to see that Jensen was the only thing holding the mess together

I'm sure we'll hear that from txpd ad nauseum.

 

[StrikingDistance]

An assist for Fever!

Saturday Night Fever!

 

[Hivemind]

Carlson has been awful

 

[kmart]

if the goalie suck u pull him... he is trying to build up holtbys confidence by force... gives him the longest leash possible.

 

[mad4comp]

Goalie change, team plays well. Maybe if we had a coach with half a brain, we'd still be in this. But unfortunately he decides to change goalies after he basically buries the team.

What a shame.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Caps coughed up a hairball tonight but it wouldn't be as noticeable had Samsonov started.
Holtby can't even put together 2 good games in a row anymore.

 

[TRASHCAT]

Uh oh... in coming Trashcat reply about Caps at the top of the standings. You done it now.

15-10-3 doesnt equal 35-14-5

 

[AtNightWeFly]

4 days off didn't help either.

 

[kicksavedave]

It isn't "just an egg". The team has had the same problems since December and haven't done a thing to fix them.

Well sure but they haven't been losing 7-2 every night, they've been winning a ton of games. This was an egg, their problems all season long weren't all as bad as this game represents.

 

[StrikingDistance]

If I see any Caps players smiling and enjoying their night downtown tonight, I’m going to play dumb and ask how the game was tonight.

 

[troyerlaw]

ROFL 7 goals... then changes goalie. Great coach eh?

Mystifying decision. To wait that long and then pull him at very end, with game out of reach. Unless maybe he was hurt?

Among many other shortcomings tonight ... i don’t what the actual percentage was, but it seemed like we barely won any faceoffs. I know giroux & Coutourier are two of the best, but still. Gotta be better at the dot.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

LOLtby’s last 11 games stats.....wow.....talk about in the sewer.....

 

[troyerlaw]

Their PP has sucked for weeks, though. That’s a continuing issue. As is Holtby’s play.

they’ve been bad at face offs for years. Would expect them to find ways to get better..

Im trying to determine if this is one of those “good loses”

How do you know the glue isn't Nick Dowd?

 

[StrikingDistance]

no way that Nicky is the problem.

I don't know anything about coaching, but Nicky Dowd played tonight and they fell apart. He's not the glue.

 

[Sam Spade]

I don't know anything about coaching, but Nicky Dowd played tonight and they fell apart. He's not the glue.

Oops, I didn't watch one second of the game and thought Dowd was a scratch.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Lets be honest here, Sammy is the glue.

 

[Corby78]

I’m ok with him keeping holtby in. Getting holtby back is worth more than 2 points right now, and I’m a “every game counts” kinda guy. Holtby has to see he is losing the job and money is falling off the table every time he plays. If it’s a coach who believes in him is what he needs it’s worth a shot. The problem is the team is losing faith and that’s why they play tight when he is in net IMO.

the real irony is just a few months ago I was hoping we could find a way to resign him. Now that he would probably be cheap enough to do so, I don’t think I want him

 

[WanderingCapsFan]

I'm not averse to a good, old fashioned pounding, to focus everyone's attention.

 

[kicksavedave]

You picked a good one to skip, just like the players.

 

[StrikingDistance]

I think a drunken Helen Keller would of enjoyed this game.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Didn’t watch but apparently Jensen is the glue
