Were you even around for the Dead Wings era?
Not surpriced.
More of depressed.
And lost all trust and hope for Quincey.
You mean you still had some?
Didn't think Quincey had a particularly bad game for the record. He was -2 but one of those were entirely on DD and Howard, the other I honestly don't remember. Compared to almost all his other games this season it was a step up.
Yeah, Q wasn't as terrible as usual on either goal. The first one was about 90% Howard who made the initial stop but spazzed on his rebound control. On the second one no one covered the guy in front of the net who scored the goal. Q was kinda in no man's land covering no one which is not good when you play man defense.
Eh, 90% on Howard after a terrible terrible giveaway by DD that basically had a Caps player in on a breakaway.
Caps fan coming in peace.
I thought your team played well.
They had 37 shots to our 33. I believe you were playing with 17 , short 1 forward and Ericsson just returning. The third period usually is where teams get tired if they are playing short or coming back after time off.
They lost in a shootout which sometimes is just luck.
I know it's a series of losses but I still think this game was close.
Still, someone like Lidström, would have prevented that goal, eliminating the opposite stick for a rebound. Quincey looked like he would care less with his weak slash.
dekeyser makes too much plays like that. he's pretty good without the puck on his stick, but i haven't been happy with his decision making with the puck. that will hopefully come with time.
Considering his number of games played. DD is doing GREAT!
This is officially his rookie season!

Well someone like Lidstrom wouldn't have made the turnover DD did either. I mean most of that play comes down to DeKeyser. He makes just an awful pass and read. Then he completely compounds it trying to go in after a 50/50 puck which he loses both things he simply cannot do when a line change is taking place. Sure Howard could have better rebound control and you hope the scrambling D can eliminate the rebound better, but that is pretty miserable play by DeKeyser, awful pass and even worse journey up the ice afterwards instead of retreating.
On the positive side this is the kind of mistake he hasn't made often. Watched him make one last year during one of the Griffins playoff games that was really bad and it seemed to impact the rest of his game. Glad to see last night he flushed that ten seconds, moved on and played one of his better games afterwards. That is a nice thing to see, mistakes happen at this level, don't let it impact the rest of the game and DD didn't let that happen last night a part of his maturation process.

For the amount of minutes he plays, and the amount of career games played, I think he makes fantastic decisions with the puck. I actually think that's one of his biggest strengths.
Not saying he won't make mistakes from time to time, but he's a very "cerebral" player.
Yeah, I'm with you on this. Or maybe it's that we have so many defensemen that make poor decisions with the puck that an average guy starts looking pretty awesome.
Either way, on the Wings, DeKeyser seems to know what to do with the puck more than most of his teammates.
Question from a Caps fan: Do you guys remember Brooks Laich making a single tape to tape pass last night?
Should never give up a 3-1 lead. Ever. If you can't lock that down, you're a bad team. We're a bad team.
