<< < (7/7)

You can't make virtually no changes to a roster that was manhandled in the playoffs by Carolina who, in turn, was toyed with by the SC champs.  I don't see much hope for anything special happening with this crew.  They'll have trouble scoring and the fact that they brought back the same six defensemen is quite disappointing.

Mickstix:
Im always quick to jump on the negative train, but there was literally nothing about last night that inspired hope. No energy, no urgency, nothing. Willy looks like a beast and that was pretty much the end of it. Leonard threw a few good follow through checks. Carlson did look pretty good. That's really not much to go on though. Our subpar GM is gonna catch up with us pretty fast I think.

Well that wasn't fun.  Mick was right...no electricity.  Looked like the last game of the year when you know you are not making the playoffs rather than 1st game of the year.
I thought we creating more scoring opportunities than Boston, just nothing to show for it.
Thompson made some very good saves when he needed to several times. 0-5 on the PP is ugly.
I thought Lenny and Lappy were fine.  Little surprised to see Lenny on PP, but they sure are expecting something great from him I guess.
Holding call on Dylan was BS - led to PP goal that was a dagger 38 seconds after we finally scored.
Dubuis, Protus, Willy were the forwards in the play that lead to Willy goal...was that just a line change overlap or did they intentionally put those 3 out together?  That's a lot of beef right there...almost 700lbs on that line.
Hope its more fun for Cap fans next couple games.

Oh yeah....and...
the sky is falling  :raspberry:
