Poor giveaway but we have to have a save from our Conn Smythe candidate. You need a few big saves from your goalie to win a cup, at the right time.

The Caps are blocking an insane amount of shots.

We haven't adjusted our game plan one bit. They are blocking those shots because we insist on being one dimensional and dishing it to the point far, far too much. They know where the shot will come from so it's easier to block a high amount of them.

Tough to win any playoff series much less the SCF when you are being carried offensively by your 4th line. They have been great. 1st line has had chances here and there, but not nearly enough. And the 2nd and 3rd lines have been a disaster outside of Tuch.

Must win Monday or else this might be a wrap.

Turk said they have played the same all year and that changing would be too difficult or something like that. We haven't had many turnovers with our forecheck that leads to offense the past two games but we also haven't many shots or guys even open in the slot either

Turk has gone blind. This is not a team playing their game.

I don't think it's something we should abandon completely, just need to cycle better and take more opportunities we get instead of always looking to pass.

Our fourth line has been, depressingly enough, getting there more often than our top three lines. I've seen Karlsson three times this game get a puck open in the slot and pass it to the point or behind him.

I don't think you understand. He didn't mean that they have been playing well in the finals. He responded to someone asking him if he's going to make changes in strategy and if they have played with the same strategy all year they don't know how to play any other playstyle.
