Ouch that was a pretty nasty hit Fehrervary took.😨

Caps are just under %20 on the faceoff

PP is ass.. Snipes are about all we can hope for.    We'll see, probably cost us at least 1 point.

[alta]

[alta]

Boston playing all of the 3rd without Pastrnak, and nearly the entire period without Wahlstrom for the hit on Fever

Can't get a 5 minute PP in the 3rd, not even put a shot on goal and expect anything good to happen after..




Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!! See you guys after the break!




Hope Ovi is back Saturday at 7pm.

Me thinks the Caps may have had their Christmas party last night......


The first period was lively, but after that not so much.

On the bright side, the Caps are doing much better than expected this season, so.. merry Christmas

This overtook the Chicago game as the worst of the season.  5 minute PP and no shots?  They haven't been generating nearly enough shots on goal over the last 5-6 games.  I'm hoping they wake up after this break because they haven't looked that good, even in the wins lately.

[Beaglefan2]

Yes and they were challenged physically.  They held up ok, but by no means is this team nasty enough for the playoffs.  McIlrath would help but he can't crack the top 6.  I really wish they would get Alexyev in the mix and tell him he either uses that big body or he is gone.  I'd like to see him replace TVR.  I thought Roy was supposed to be a tough guy, but he is not that big or aggressive. He is solid and playing well, but not what I expected.

Roy's another overpaid for what he's bringing to the table. 5.75m x 6 seems like an awful lot of $$ to just be a decent blueliner. Maybe all the salaries for "decent" play are going up and I just haven't paid attention..

Roy is the type of solid plus guy you need on the blue line, even if he's not a big hitter.  I think this was an excellent pickup by the FO, as was Chychrun.  I love what Chychrun brings to the table with his skating and scoring ability but he's also just a year or two removed from a -30 season.  So, if you have guys like him, you need guys like Roy to even things out.  Frankly, the weakest link on the current defense corps is Carlson.  He's slow and the number of times he turns the puck over in our own end is pretty frightening.
