Here we go again. Another 2-0 lead at home. Just laughable.

Shiite.
That's on Hooks. Way to short circuit a good cycle.

You can’t lose your focus the way this team does with 1 minute left in the period.

How does Eller miss the net from there?

In this day and age of big goalies the only way to score is pick a corner, go bar down, or be a half inch inside the pipe.
He was going for the snipe.

Only the Caps play a great period, give up a late goal, and come out feeling deflated.

From the circle you need to make the goalie stop the puck.

Thought it was a solid period. Yeah the late breakaway was tough but that wasn't on the defense it was on the forward who changed. We had pressure in the zone on the cycle and Orpik did what he was supposed to do cycling it to open space. Nobody was there to pressure, leading to an easy breakout. Had that not of happened even if CBJ got the puck there the pressure on the person to help the cycle would of led to a battle, and not a breakaway against.


I thought we pressured smartly and were crowding the goalie. I also think our biggest weakness is going for snipes. Sometimes you score a goal short side or in the corner and think "time to snipe the puck in" when you should just be shooting to the goalies feet/for tips and rebounds. We had a few chances late there that could of been mad scrambles had we just got it on the net.

   In today's game Bobrovsky isn't a big goalie.

it’s not a time thing, it happens every single time there is a two goal lead, regardless of the clock

Wouldn't that be Smith-Pelly?


He sorta fits the bill but he's actually a little smaller size wise. I was more meaning instead of Connolly, who in my opinion continually gets miscast as a third line scorer when he far too often plays like Andre Burakovsky or other smaller sized skill guys. Him playing with Eller and DSP often leads to him not going to the net, and playing circle while the other too push the goalie. Even when Conolly goes to the net his size/skills don't really fit him for that kind of role.


My big issue with DSP isn't his size it's his puck posession skills. He's not awful mind you, just not a stand out. And if any team is smart when you look at a line like that you realize all the good momentum comes from Eller, much like it used to when Backstrom was forced to carry Ovie and Semin for example. Shut down the guy who posesses the puck and your golden. Notice when Backstrom plays with Oshie that line continually has solid puck posession. Because Oshie and Nick can handle the biscuit and keep the puck while the linemates either cycle or get to the net.


It's a shame pricing scenarios and aging had to lose us out on Joel Ward. But to me he's the type of player I would rather see playing more with Eller. A guy who wins all the board battles, keeps the puck alive, and then goes to the net and has a knack for playoff scoring.

I know they do, but there are times it matters more than others to give one up.  That was ugly.  How do you let a guy in behind the defense in that situation?  Can't happen.  And another crappy line change was part of the problem.  The Caps bench does not do a great job with that.
