Night all. :yawn: :yawn: :yawn:

The worst part was they smoked us physically in the third. The hit on Mojo was devastating. They have a bunch of big bodies and even with Willy, they will be tough on us now that they know they can.
It's a funny game. I thought we totally outplayed them for the first 18 minutes.
I wish there was a stat that showed how many times a team that scores lets the other team score within a minute. If there is, I bet over the last 5 years that the Caps lead the league in that department.

That was ugly. We DID outplay them the first 18 or so minutes. This is why we will not succeed. Our GT is not even a question mark anymore - it's just bad.
Not all that was on VV, but you can't let in easy goals in the playoffs. You don't have to steal a win, but you should at least help rather than hinder the squad in front of you. You could see the wind go out of them. Part of it is we dominated for 18 minutes with little to show and then you just hand them two goals. Bobrovsky is excellent and tough to beat so you can't afford softies vs a good team.
I think we all kind of new this was pretty much what it looked like going in. We are just Cap fans so we have that stupid glimmer of hope...cause that's what we got.
I agree they should have put Fucale in (but is he even dressed?) I think you can only dress 2 GT correct? Hell, I'd start Sammy next game with Fucale as backup - or better yet start Fucale.
If Fucale is ready next year he gets the starting job - not sure WTF we are going to do for a GT next year.
And I hate matinees in the playoffs. Just not the same vibe. I'm guessing that's cause it's Derby day?
We need a miracle...and Willy, and Ovie to show up and...well....a MIRACLE.
Go Caps

They can only dress two goalies. If both goalies go down to injury, that’s where the arena provided emergency goalie comes in. Though that’s for regular season, not sure if it’s the same for the playoffs.
I’m not overly concerned at this point. The Caps came out of the Cats barn 1-1, a hell of a lot better than expected.
