Post-Game Talk: Washington Hockey Team @ Actually it's a peninsula 7:07pm

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Get Dillon off the ice

Bad pinch leads to turnover. Don’t dare talk about accountability and then still play him.

 

[Pomee]

Cmon coach! When will you learn that you cant win without Panik!

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Thank god for VV, their d zone coverage is pathetic.

 

[kicksavedave]

Vanny deserves better than this.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Where is the poster that said our goalies never steal games. VV can’t be any better.

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Right... so the problem wasn't vrana... maybe it has something to do with two old and useless defensemen who play every game and screw up multiple times per game yet don't get benched.

Old? Dillion isn’t old yet.

 

[Alexander the Gr8]

Its on Chara. Fine Chara didn't get the puck out but pick up your damn man.

That play developed quickly. From the moment VV put the puck in the corner we were one step behind the Isles already.

 

[mad4comp]

This team is toast in the playoffs ROFL....

 

[TRASHCAT]

do goalies usually win when thier teams scores 0?

 

[mad4comp]

Old? Dillion isn’t old yet.

Really? Then why does he play like 200 year old chara?

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

I tip my hat to Trotz. He has turned a very average team in terms of a roster into a damn good one.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

We can’t play the Devils, Sabres, or Flyers every night

 

[kicksavedave]

do goalies usually win when thier teams scores 0?

Very rare. Almost never.

 

[Sun God Nika]

maaaaaaan Ovi was open for a point slapper all day there why didnt he get the pass.

 

[troyerlaw]

Backstrom was off today. Not connecting on passes. Ineffective at the dot too

 

[mad4comp]

I tip my hat to Trotz. He has turned a very average team in terms of a roster into a damn good one.

Yea that's what happens when you grab and interfere the whole game and the refs only call some penalties to keep it even.

 

[Capsman]

Dillon literally can do nothing right. He has been an Achilles heel for this team for about a month now. Ranks down there with some of the worst Caps defenders I can recall.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Vanny deserves better than this.

May of earned starting job for sure. So he’s been fine

 

[AussieCapsFan]

Right... so the problem wasn't vrana... maybe it has something to do with two old and useless defensemen who play every game and screw up multiple times per game yet don't get benched.

No, no - it's the goaltending! VV should have pitched a shutout but he let in a goal. This loss is on the goaltending once again!

(sarcasm in case it needs to be pointed out).

 

[ALLCAPSALLTHETIME]

Sucks to lose 1-0.

Oh well. Coinflip game.

 

[maacoshark]

That play developed quickly. From the moment VV put the puck in the corner we were one step behind the Isles already.

That was a routine play that is executed dozens of times every game. Chara messed it up.

 

[troyerlaw]

Improvement over last NYI game

 

[TRASHCAT]

if vanny was good he would have scored duh

 

[troyerlaw]

Would have liked to see replay of Kuz shot.

 

[EroCaps]

Letting Trotz walk was and remains a total f***ing blunder.

 

[Firsov99]

Disappointing, but not as hopeless as the 4-8. VV was great! He gave us a chance to stick around. We'll always have a chance with this type of goaltending.
