If the Caps ultimately lose this series
Maacoshark:
When the Caps ultimately lose this series. I will be disappointed but not surprised. I surprised my wife in both of those OT losses. I actually didn't freak out if break anything. I've lost faith in this team. A lot if it has to do with Holtby being thrown under the bus and the starting job in the playoffs given to Grubauer. I'm not saying Grubauer lost those games for us but he certainly didn't help. He didn't make many key saves in the 2 games. I have said it all along. Grubauer filled in admirably in the regular season but our best chance if advancing in the playoffs was to start Holtby and hope he can return to his vezina form.
I really don't care for the team in front of our goalies. Wtf happened to our defensively responsible system. Pretty base when our best defensive pairing is Carlson and Kempny.
Its not call on our dcore. Our forwards haven't been good defensively either. I think Stephenson is our best defensive forward right now. Pretty bad when a rookie plays a better disciplined game than our veterans.

This is a positive as far as I'm concerned. Do NOT want to see the dogs lose three years in a row to any team.

Exactly! . . . The MAJORITY of the skaters on this team are one-way offensive players with little if any regards to defense, training or concern about the defense, their opponent, or situations.
So as we know: defense wins games/offense sells tickets . . . . we've scored seven goals in two games enough, yet we lost both. . .We allowed 9, to which the layman agitator can say "but we only lost by one goal in OT and this series is close!", which is bullshit. . . . 3.5 GPG per 4.5 GPG, while down 2-0 in a playoff series, just says you team defense, from INCLUDING your forwards is not only pathetic and inexcusable, but flat out sucks.

The only Defense in recent memory that was worse other than when we tanked to rebuild was when we were giving min to Doig and Kiwi. Good lord that was BAD. This current rendition isn't much beter.
