Post-Game Talk: Panthers @ Caps, 7:30

[Corby78]

Doesn't he have to miss like ten games since he ltir?

Thats the minimum. I'm just curious if were looking at next month, January, or hopefully for the playoffs. No idea since I haven't even heard exactly what the injury was.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Just got home and its THIS?

 

[Bladerunner]

While neither of the goals were really his fault, Grubs hasn't looked that strong this season. Got shelled in Phili, has let 2 in and got beat with the shot off the post. Just not seeing the Grubs from last year.

While it's a very small sample size, hard to counter your comment.
Moreover is Holtby looking as good as he has in the past?

 

[Capsman]

This is a strange assessment of their skillset. They both have good hands and they can weave through traffic. You make it sound like they have Chimera's stone hands.

Really? I see them lose pucks left and right. Stickhandling, passing...Far contrast from MJ.

 

[Corby78]

I feel like every shift isn't complete until a D gives it up in the corner or behind the net.

 

[Brian23]

THis is a purposeless team right now. If they keep this up heads will roll.

RIP John Carlson's jockstrap

They're not bad stickhandlers, they just stickhandle at the wrong places and they can get careless with the puck.

This. Very few players look like they want to be playing hockey at this point.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Start hitting!!! This soft type game doesn't work for the Caps, there's no intensity.

 

[Corby78]

nice little sell. Acted like he had been shot

 

[Hivemind]

Second game they’ve left Grubauer out to dry. Like Jesus.

He's been hung out to dry in all three games he's played

And again, by Trocheck.

 

[Capsman]

Fixing the D won’t bring us to the promised land. Have you noticed we aren’t scoring many goals? As long as Trotz is at the helm it’s all moot.

 

[Hivemind]

John Carlson looks really really bad against speed right now. Way too easy to get him turned around.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Beagle back out there, good sign.

 

[Corby78]

Eller has to get that out

 

[Corby78]

Thats because when we decided to become faster, we really didn't get faster players. Error on our part.

The D is at the root of this issue. They keep us pinned into our own end and they're not good at giving crisp outlet passes. It doesn't matter if you have the best forwards in the world, if your D can't get the puck up to them, they won't do anything.

How does bowey miss net there

 

[peterthegreat12]

Caps always look tired on a back to back, while other teams seem to have energy. Hmmmm.......

 

[Brian23]

That was not like Backy...

 

[Hivemind]

Bowey's not going to get a better chance to bury one than that. He had space and the whole top of the net. Just missed it.

 

[Corby78]

Grubs killed a penalty just in time to go on the PK again.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

For shame, Nicklas! (kinda liked it but please no goal)
