Post-Game Talk: MTL @ WSH | 11/15/19 | 7:00 PM EST

Top line can't even get the puck outta their own zone. Forget about scoring goals.

 

[Ridley Simon]

Just get one before the break. Just one.

 

[Calicaps]

Not nearly enough fire from Todd Rierden during this time out, not even close.

 

[DWGie26]

I suspect we’ll see some line changes. Hopefully before the end of the period to get some energy going.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Ovechkin with zero effort on the wall before the break. Hope he busts out of this slump soon.

 

[Sam Spade]

Great job guys showing up vs a garbage team

 

[shtorm2005]

Let's call them slow mo line.

 

[JasonRoseEh]

Ovi Kuzy Vrana please

They'll be in and out of the offensive zone quicker than me typing this post. They need a guy to grind it out for possession for them because Kuzy and Ovi aren't getting to pucks in the corners, sorry.

Let’s not blame lines, etc tonight. I’m here and EVERYONE isn’t ready. Montreal hasn’t been a playoff team, is playing well, and in warm ups you could tell treated this game like a playoff game. In first 9 minutes Canadians were on pace for 60+ hits.

Caps won cup two seasons ago, are the best team in nhl standings wise right now, and other teams are treating Caps like we are the Patriots right now. We are going to get teams best effort. Right now Caps weren’t ready at all tonight

It has been a bad 2nd period - but this game has been Montreal since puck drop

not first=bums! Lol

 

[Calicaps]

Ovi Kuzy Vrana please

Ovi Kuzy willy is what I want to see

 

[peterthegreat12]

Down 4 against Carey Price is not a good position. Their previous comebacks were not against elite goalies and frankly they look disinterested tonight .

 

[maacoshark]

Are you still babbling?

Then stop talking nonsense.

Yup, the Caps being out hit so badly while being the bigger, heavier team was a bad sign from the get go. The Caps story about being into a game is told a lot on the hit stat.

I suspect they were looking ahead to the Bruins and forgot they had to play tonight.

Top line is stuck again.

 

[mad4comp]

Samsonov still in the game.. That's some pretty bad coaching right there. Looks like we've given this game up.

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

The scary thing is MTL has missed at least 2 open nets this game. The score doesn't reflect how poorly the Caps have played.

They need Holtby fresh for tomorrow's game against Boston.

 

[peterthegreat12]

What will it take for Todd to change that top line?

Not really, gotta play Holtby against Boston I wouldn't pull him. Samsonov and the team made this bed, deal with it.

Also the Capitals can't hit the net if their life depended on it.

Nope - Holtby is like infinity and one against Boston - it’s his game tomorrow

Is holtby going to score 4 goals?

 

[Sam Spade]

This is gonna be one sweet comeback.

If you can’t beat MTL, wait until you see Boston’s top line.
