Caps still aren't moving without the puck, instead just standing around too often.

 

[Lobodomy]

Sammy is trash himself.

Trash knows trash.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I don’t know what to say. Lavi is a great defensive coach. Our players apparently don’t have the IQ to play man on man in the d zone.

 

[Corby78]

I’m starting to think the problem with this team the past two years wasn’t the coaching...

Well considering the guy who fell down and let his man play one on one with VV, is a new guy. Please say what it is.

I've been told they had a good defense last couple of years and the problem was coaching.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Annnnnnd an offensive zone penalty

 

[McVechkin]

This team makes so many mistakes

 

[Melkor]

Trash knows trash.

Come into DMs, don't be a clown mate.

 

[GoCaps2004]

That simply is.... not a penalty?

 

[Capsman]

That faceoff before the goal was interference. Really don’t understand the inconsistency in these calls.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

hey a save!!!

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

We have been making the same mistakes for three years now, especially in the defensive zone. This isn’t about Schultz. He has actually been one of our better defenders this year.

 

[GoCaps2004]

A couple good saves there by Vanecek

 

[Corby78]

I wish the caps would stop skating into penguin sticks and falling down

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

VV saved our bacon twice there

 

[Roshi]

Weird penalty. What is not weird is our board going at Vanecek for those goals, lol.

Our defense is all around. Not good.

Ovie looks like a thread. Please score goals. We need 5-6 atleast to win this one.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Jensen Chara a PK pairing

 

[Capsman]

That simply is.... not a penalty?

After our 2 PPs how else do you think they get to the usual 5-2 or 6-3 Pens PP advantage?

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Making Pitt look fantastic today.

 

[Corby78]

Not a good kill, out pk looks bad

 

[troyerlaw]

How many uncontested backdoor chances are we planning to allow today?

 

[troyerlaw]

Not a good kill, out pk looks bad

Collapsing so low. Zero aggressiveness

 

[Melkor]

The team needs saves like this. You can't let these meltdowns happen game after game.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

These Caps-Penguins games are always high scoring games. This is what happens when the offense is overpowered on both sides and the defense/goaltending is shit on both sides.

 

[Capsman]

I’m starting to think the problem with this team the past two years wasn’t the coaching...

Eh the offense is better. But the D is awful and it doesn’t look like it’s just about personnel. I’m thinking it might take some time to get unCashman’ed.
