waynerivers:
The only thing that springs to mind watching this is:
The old guys are slow.
The young guys are slow.
There's an overall lack of talent.
Other than that, everything is great.

Caps looked slow all night long. I bet the ice wasn't good, but the Rags were fine with it. They beat us to the puck all game and skated circles around us.
Would have been good to see McIlrath knock a few teeth out of that stupid Kempe smile.
Surreylily:
Toodle pip peeps. :(

I mean, for what looked like a 60 minute penalty kill, 4-1 isn't bad. :O= No skills, no speed is hard to overcome in todays NHL.

Agreed. We're overmatched, especially with half our defensive corps injured.
One good thing to come out of this is that Alexeyev gets primo minutes, so management can really evaluate what we have in him. He's 24 now - it's time to figure out what his role in the organization, if any, is going to be.
But it's not going to be great to have the inevitable result of this series be accompanied by a #17 pick in the draft. We can only hope that Michael Hage is still available when we select, and he turns out to be something worthwhile down the line. That's about the best we can hope for.
