need another 5 goals against 1st line so it can finally be dismantled.

Carey Price is in net. Their magical comeback BS isn’t going to happen against him.

The Capitals typically don't have a ton of problems with Carey Price, they're just playing sloppy hockey and haven't put together a 60 minute effort in like 10 games, it's catching up with them.

Damn Sammy just ran from that save....

Lol you get in front of a Shea Weber slap shot.

 

[mad4comp]

Yea pull sammy. The dude is def not ready.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

WTF did you want him to do on the Weber shot? His team is playing like sh** in front of him.

What about that one? Glove hand again.

 

[peterthegreat12]

The wheels have fallen off.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Capitals defense is just garbage and Samsonov needs to make a save.

 

[kicksavedave]

Seems like he would be sent down to get some games at Hershey, since the Caps don't have back to backs for several weeks.

I don't think this is cap related, just getting regular games instead of getting cold on the bench.

 

[Coldplay619]

Top line getting destroyed again, just awful hockey in their own zone again being led by #8. He just isn't playing good enough right now.

He's played his worst hockey in the last few years on that line.

It isn't a coincidence.

 

[Portable Mink]

Just looks a bit uncertain today. It happens

 

[peterthegreat12]

What about that one?

I agree on that one but still not the Weber shot.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

He's played his worst hockey in the last few years on that line.

It isn't a coincidence.

What?

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Does Rierden ever discipline his players (Other than hating Jaskin last year for no reason) ? Has he ever called a damn time out to regroup the team? Like what does he do because honestly all I see him do is call lines and not much else.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Lol you get in front of a Shea Weber slap shot.

I would if I was an NHL goalie.

 

[peterthegreat12]

Sigh. The Ovi/Backstrom line is getting owned every time they are on the ice. They just look dare I say slow.

 

[maacoshark]

I would if I was an NHL goalie.

No you wouldn't.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I don't want any comebacks.

 

[GoCaps2004]

Yeah Joe B, that doesn’t look like a caps powerplay. Pretty clear trip by Hathaway

 

[Coldplay619]

What?

He usually plays his worst hockey on that line.

 

[Portable Mink]

Does Rierden ever discipline his players? Has he ever called a damn time out to regroup the team? Like what does he do because honestly all I see him do is call lines and not much else.

the guy is likely the most prepared coach in the league for every game, player and situation. I would say he also knows the value of staying level.
Save the rockets for when we actually really need them. You only get so many.

 

[aonb]

One or two points from John Norris and i can forget about this game

 

[shtorm2005]

Sigh. The Ovi/Backstrom line is getting owned every time they are on the ice. They just look dare I say slow.

Not just in this game. Pretty often.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

He usually plays his worst hockey on that line.

Ovechkin on the top line plays his worst hockey? Dude what are you even talking about?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

No you wouldn't.

silly me, I forgot you have this fantasy that you know it all.

 

[mad4comp]

That's NHL refereeing for you, all the penalties they got away with.. they get the first PP.
