GDT: G18: Red tank @ Shark Tank - 10:30pm zzzzzzz

[usiel]

Darcy too deep in the crease there.

Sharks PP for the season is like 20% rate...they are gonna win this game bcuz their PP stepped up. When it comes to the Caps PP, the players just step off the ice for it.

Definitely a valid take here.

 

[PlushMinus]

Haha

Missing Hertl, Couture and they are still beating us.

All you can do is laugh.

omg I didn't even realize Hertl was out. He's been their best player.

And we still can't win. 80 percent of the Sharks roster is AHL level. Maybe 85 percent

Matthews Phillips with 3 shots on net, the Capitals best even-strength scoring chance - and still barely over 10 minutes of ice time. I get the Milano/Lapierre/Protas line being more or less benched with all of Milano's turnovers and their lack of scoring chances - but not sure why Phillips' opportunities were limited.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Nothing like opening up a big road trip with a loss to the worst team in the league.

 

[AZ Caps Fan]

Bench seems lifeless

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Down a goal, 2mins left, we gotta trot out the 4th line…

 

[Hivemind]

This neutral zone scheme is pathetic

 

[Holtbyisms]

Brutal.

 

[stephenball]

This is unbelievably pathetic.

I just saw the Sharks PPG, they won a board battle Kunin left alone in between the dots and scores. Somebody should have converge on Kunin or at least put a stick in the passing lane.

 

[Hivemind]

I dumped MacKenzie Blackwood to activate Vasilevskiy on my fantasy team - so I'll accept blame for this one.

(Its a very deep league)

 

[troyerlaw]

Sharks showed up, Caps didn’t. Predictable result.

Shameful showing by our so-called leaders.

Blackwood outplayed Kuemper. But then most goalies do

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

F’ing lame….

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

This team can't score. At all.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Disappointing win, however San Jose worked for it more.

 

[SherVaughn30]

Well you can't fire Carbery because he just got here, so something has to give from the players. Shakeup trade is needed BMac!

 

[usiel]

Their goalie outplayed our goalie. Had those two or three 10 bell chances early in the game and all the posts.

 

[SherVaughn30]

They really can't. The Kuzy goal was a fluke bounce off the goalie and in the net.

My game puck goes to Evgeny Kuznetsov for a goal and a team-high 82% xG share.

Honorable mention to Anthony Mantha for a 70% xG share and helping to stabilize the 4th line after a rocky few outings for them.

The pucks hitting the posts were a message from the Hockey Gods! Stop trying to play and help OV break Gretzky's record!

Screw Kuzy and your metrics! Game puck goes to the Goal Posts!

 

[SherVaughn30]

So Sharks are now 5-1-1 after a 0-5-1 start at home.

Good point. Unlike me and my love life, the Capitals sure did lay a lot of pipe tonight.

 

[SherVaughn30]

It just not only the Caps PP that's broken, it's the whole offense is broken!

f*** are you talking about dude, Ovechkin's passing up shots like crazy this year...

 

[SherVaughn30]

Ted's Wizards are garbage(2-14) and Ted's Cash Cow(Ovechkin) is all dry and completely out of milk money!

The sellout streak was broken. I bet ya there will be no more Capital One sellouts the rest of the season.
