this coaching staff needs to go,

[4 Caps]

If Caps lose tonight I will be in complete panic mode.  Have to win tonight.  Big guestion is who will be starting in net.  From the morning skate it was not clear so we will have to wait untill Trotz’ press conference at 5:00.  Vrana is back in which IMO is good.  He and Oshie are so overdue one of them has to score tonight.

I'm incapable of going to panic mode with this team. I guess that's what happens when you can read the writing on the wall in October. But if they lose tonight the team will be in panic mode and Trotz will have lost the lockeroom, if he hasn't already

[KitFisto]

Holtby playing? We'll need 9 to win if he's in.

[4 Caps]

A lot of people are calling for Trotz’ firing ( see Japers Rink) but I don’t see that happening during the season.  I have to admit some of Trotz’ decisions are puzzling to me but what do I know. 

[OnlyCaps2]

I just hope to see a strong start and playing within their capabilities for a full 60 minutes.

If anyone is coming to the game and needs parking, pm me.

That was nice

Heard it was Grubauer

[IDontGiveaChuk]

That was nice

Maybe not but probably accurate. He's been awful lately. And with the way the team came out yesterday it may not matter anyway.

Definitely,I do not know what’s going with him this season and other team key players/Trotz/GM

[Maacoshark]

   I just hope we play better for Holtby if he is in net.

Morning all.

[Mickstix]

Barry finally toughed up! Djoos and Bowey healthy scratch!! That'll teach em'!! 

[Surreylily]

Good grief.  Our guys looking like they've never seen a puck, or each other before.
Again....

[alta]

that was pointless

[DC_1908]

 I’d love to have Boucher as a coach, though most of this fan bases head would explode after a period 🤣

[Mickstix]

Hopefully Wilson comes out of the box and finds someone else to beat up! Just cause! lol

Not to scar anyone trying to forget last night’s disaster, but I saw a view of the Ovechkin butt-end hit in the face and it was obvious there was intent to injure.   And yet, the NHL isn’t doing anything about it?  Would we have heard today if they were?
