:huh:
Lil was definitely well into the sauce...the Caps badly outplayed the Preds in the first all but like the first 4 minutes. Preds didn't have a shot on goal for longs stretches at a time.


Well here's something to brighten your day...

I was not squiffy last night.    :raspberry:    Not by a long shot and definitely not a double. :P

I saw us being dominated for most of the game.

Every time we had the puck there was a Pred there and our guys treated it like a hot potato and just got rid of it asap, often to nobody in particular, several times directly to a waiting Pred.  Loads of giveaways this game due to the pressure they put on us.
They spent a lot of time in our zone, especially earlier on in the game.

The Preds goal that was disallowed, was that for goalie interference in the end?   They took a long time deciding.


On a happy note, our PK is great so far and we didnt take that many stupid penalties, unlike them.   This makes me happy.    ;)

I saw us being dominated for most of the game.  (WELL you weren't watching very closely then) :raspberry:

Every time we had the puck there was a Pred there and our guys treated it like a hot potato and just got rid of it asap, often to nobody in particular, several times directly to a waiting Pred.  Loads of giveaways this game due to the pressure they put on us.  (True - we had 19 giveaways to their 12)
They spent a lot of time in our zone, especially earlier on in the game. (Yes, for the first 5 minutes, then Caps dominated play, outshot them 18-11 in the 1st period)



Nope.  It was pretty evenly matched game, but the Caps outplayed them in the 1st (all but maybe the first 4-5 minutes),  it was pretty even in the 2nd....  Caps outshot them, out chanced them, more possession time, etc....for the first two periods.  Then the Caps outplayed in the 3rd and were outshot 11-4, ending with 35 shots for PReds, 36 for Caps
Preds did have more penalties, so that gave us some more possession time, even though our PP isn't producing
Stat wise, it was nearly identical in shots, hits, blocked shots, FO%, takeaways....We did have 7 more giveaways and we did have more PP time.

But hey, a win is a win.  I'll take it
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
