Anybody surprised? Anyone at all? All the elements of past losses were there; squandering leads, failing to press the attack after we had the lead, confusion in our own end and poor goaltending at critical moments. Most of all though, besides having better talent, Pittsburgh is just a vastly better coached team. Trotz and co. just have no clue at all about how to win This one is already over and everyone knows it. Imagine when Malkin and Hagelin return. :(
waynerivers:
Holtby made a bad play on the 3rd goal, too. He dumped it around the boards right to Crosby. If you're going to shoot it up the boards, you have to have some idea as to who is there. He was barely back in position and the puck was off Crosby's stick headed to the net.

Agree. Agree. Agree.
And the sad truth is that as soon as our sorry asses are escorted out in the second round again, Trotz will be fired and will bring in his assistant to take over. just like GMGM was shown the door only to bring in his protege in GMBM, Trotz will be fired and Rierdan will take over.
And it will be SSDD all over again.

Caps win the next 4. You heard it here first. They will become the first team to win the Cup that loses the first game in every series.

Love the optimism.
Question the sanity - but love the optimism.
