Post-Game Talk: Kings @ Caps, 7PM

[maacoshark]

Yes because your defensemen can't let players behind them like that, whereas Eller just lost a puck battle in a crowd.

Eller has to get that puck deep. And Orpik can't let that man that far behind him. It was a bad pinch.

Bowey has been especially terrible. His awareness tonight has been awful. Kings are cherry picking on him all game like it's beer league.

Holtby has also been poo.

It's a shame, because outside of these 3, everyone else has been okay

He certainly was on the 2nd goal

My point is you can't just blame Orpik on that play. It was probably a team failure and who was "more to blame" depends on how they're supposed to handle cutters and keep ins.

Fair enough.

Everyone is falling.

 

[Capitals40]

Wilson got away with interference

 

[maacoshark]

Wilson should have gotten a penalty when he ran into Doughty

Lol you beat me to it.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I just want 1 point. Please.

 

[Calicaps]

Shoot the puck you fancy assholes!

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Put the damn puck on goal FFS

 

[g00n]

Just kind of pissing this one away...

Watching #92 dance is one of the best reasons to tune into any Caps game

Surely in the reg. season it's reason #1... sometimes also #2, #3, etc...

Then in playoffs we can switch to enjoying the world's best enactment of "Moby Dick Reloaded: Ahab Learns to Love Samsara"...

Last few Caps games have been watchable though, something to be thankful for. Vrana-Kuz-Oshie look pretty fun, when I've seen them at least..

 

[Capitals40]

We have controlled the play but not physical enough

 

[errantcaps]

Bit of a random aside but do you all like Alan May and his in game observations? It all sounds a bit like a retread to me everytime he is on - Pucks to the nets, cycle down low, take the shot etc. Then again there isn't to much to say I suppose. I like the guy just feel his message is overdone.

Yup they refuse to shoot. Eller and Oshie have passed up some shots from good spots

This team is its own worst enemy because they always look for the fancy play. That's why he's constantly asking for simple hockey.

This team never learns, they always do the same mistakes and they've had the same flaws for years. Of course May repeats himself.

Save us, Kuzy

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Beagle vs Kempe has been a horrible matchup.

 

[Raikkonen]

Entertaining game

 

[Calicaps]

Beagle vs Kempe has been a horrible matchup.

Beagle vs. [enter name here] has been a horrible matchup this year. A real bummer.

 

[Capitals40]

Love the bottom 2 line minutes inside of 5 minutes..lol

 

[g00n]

Why not pull Holtby for the o-zone faceoff at 2min??

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

The Kings have played the 3rd period perfectly defensively.
