Seemingly better to be down 1 than up 3.

While the team has been playing a bit let down....I honestly put a few of those goals on Gruby. Like seriously. Does the guy not have a glove hand? 3 of those goals were glove side, only one of those 3 was a deflection, the other two HOLTBY would of stopped.
That isn't to say Holtby is better, only that the shots they are shooting on Grub are clearly his weakness, and it's a weakness that happens to be Holts strength, the glove hand.
If this isn't the best third period this team has ever played by the way then as far as I'm concerned the season is already over, and we should sell the farm. Enough. The laughing stock of the playoffs shit needs to end. You either have the pride to not act like a deflated child who didn't get his toy on the trip to the store, and you fucking man up and accept that in order to win a Stanley Cup hell in order to even make it past the first or second fucking round, you need to dig deep and go out there and find another gear. That is what is always the bummer about this Caps team in the playoffs. There is no "playoff" gear. There needs to be one to have success. It's as simple as that.

I agree with most of your post except I think Holtby is a lot better than Grubauer. People got hung up on Grubauer numbers in the regular season against a lot of weak competition.
Grubauer is one of the worst technical goalies I've ever seen.

Oh come on, what did you all expect?
On a sad note R Lee Ermey just passed. One of my favorites:
"I will give you three seconds, exactly three fucking seconds, to wipe that stupid grin off your face, or I will gouge out your eyeballs and skull-fuck you!"

And now we are on the verge of being down 2 games and they are going to ask Holtby to bail us out. Nothing like putting the pressure on a guy.

Grubie has stunk but he isn't the whole problem by any means. The team is poorly coached and goes through long stretches where it is lifeless and confused looking. They have that same look they've had for years in the playoffs which is like they fully expect to lose. They've also made poor personnel decisions as in letting arguably their two best defensemen go for nothing in the off season. Holtby can't bail this out. I doubt anybody can. At least they'll spare themselves the beat down Pittsburgh would have applied.

I mentioned it earlier, it got lost in the noise, that was the best non scripted movie scene ever
