GDT: Oldies in FLA - 7pm

[Empty Goal Net]

I don't think I've ever seen a team consistently have so much difficulty clearing the puck out of their zone when they're under duress.

 

[Misery74]

This team sucks so bad. I have no idea what we're doing in the D zone.

Add to that, only 20 shots on goal.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Pretty weak Strome…

 

[stephenball]

Yeah, it hasn’t always been pretty but Darcy had been keeping the puck out while the team has been completely useless in front of him. It was only a matter of time.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Been a fan for over 40 years and I can safely say this iteration of the Caps is my least favorite.

 

[HTFN]

Protas has skills. Even in that weird shift, he could get caught off guard and not expecting a pass and still manage to make a pass that has intent and scoring potential and isn't just another bail out. He did it two or three times there.

Good, good player.

 

[twabby]

My game puck tonight goes to "Marcy" Darcy Kuemper despite a losing effort.

Honorable mentions go to Alex Ovechkin, Matthew Phillips, and Beck Malenstyn.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Successful night! Ovie goal and the tank is in good shape.

 

[lotty83]

Will we ever win again? This team is so not fun to watch.

 

[McVechkin]

Such a pathetic team haha.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Ovechkin goal and a loss. Give me 30 more of those and I’m not too upset.

 

[Nice]

Sell sell sell

 

[Misery74]

Let’s dump some of these guys asap.

Did other teams really want Bear? If so, send him out of Jellystone ASAP.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Sell sell sell

Mantha scored again tonight so I hope that’s the plan

It was reported he had a couple of 1 year offers. Of course the Caps, being generous as they are, sign him for 2 years.

And for 2 million a season!! Up until I checked just now I thought it was a league minimum 2 year deal.

That is...not good.

Going to have my 'broker' invest in some fresh red paint. Gotta keep that tank looking sharp!

Twabby man, you had me till you snuck Phillips in there! Phillips type players are a dime a dozen!

 

[SherVaughn30]

OV has scored in 2 straight games
Kuemper with a .925 SV% on 41 shots
Mantha scores again to increase his trade value
6th straight loss to pull them back more from making the playoffs

No games will be won just having 23 shots on goal. I'm not liking Carbery's system in regard to goal scoring. Something tells me the Caps ownership/management thought they were somewhat genus again hiring a young coach. I'm having some Todd Reirden vibes with Carbery. Both were good Assistant Coaches, so far both have not translated into good head coaches! Even with this roster, the Caps offensive production should not have dropped so much from Laviolette to Carbery(system wise I'm not seeing how the team defense transitions to more offense). Carbery coached the Leafs PP last season and it ended up ranked #2. Did the Leafs scoring talent make Carbery look better as an Assistant Coach than he was? Carbery brings some good things to the table, but the NHL is becoming more of goal scoring league. If next season the Caps acquire(via prospect promotions from Hershey, draft, trades and free agency) younger/better players that fit Carbery's system better with the offense still struggling, then Carbery is not the answer.

Their whole roster is full of dime-a-dozen players?

Yeah but the Married With Children reference made up for it!

3 straight, i think

I’m not going to be mad at cadberry. He inherited a roting pumpkin that’s getting worse. I don’t know if a coach in the league that gets this team in the playoffs.

I also don’t care much about the bear contract, we took a swing at getting a cheap diamond in the rough and paid a little more to outbid everyone. In the end it’s going to mean nothing. He won’t be in the books when this team i good again.
