Post-Game Talk: Game 1: Caps vs. Pens

[traparatus]

I actually thought the 4th line was ok today. Not great or anything, but ate some minutes without really getting exposed. Not sure the Wilson-Connolly switch makes sense, but... if the 3rd line can get it going, I could live with the way the 4th line played today.

I just can't get on board with this attitude. Caps 4th line is nothing. They made 6 minutes of 5-on-5 time go away in a game that Caps never had the lead in.

It's not the end of the world. It's just another thing that can be improved on this team.

In 22 games (since March 1st) Lars Eller and Jay Beagle have combined for 7 points. Eller has 2 points in 7 games and Beagle 0 in the playoffs.

There is zero chance a team can have any trusted depth when those are half of your center lines. They do absolutely nothing offensively.

Caps have two top line centers, which is great - but the other two centers are both 4th liners.

They should put MoJo at 3rd line center IMO
