I agree...it looked so weak.  Orpik is one of my least favorite players--every game.

I agree with you guys about the clearing attempt but I have felt Orpik has been one of our better players defensively these playoffs. This game notwithstanding. Those type of players are normally the type of things he's been good on, and he was a big reason for our great PK in round 1 and some games this series. But he needs to be that every game, and these type of weak clears and plays won't help us.

holy schnit! If 74 would do that more than twice a year he might be worth keeping

   He is worth keeping

radio is about 8 seconds ahead of the tv tonight, that’s doable

Somebody shoot the fuckin puck.

[Devise]

Carlson was awful on that PP.


Nobody wanted to shoot either. Although I'll applaud Ovie for the hustle on the 2nd entry to keep the play alive.

Good point.  I suppose I'm not paying attention when he does good things...much more likely to notice when he seems to be at fault. 

[justwincaps]

Man they are playing as panicky as I feel.

How are you listening? Everything I can receive is far behind. What app, or is over the air?

[Devise]

Oshie with a good chance there. He get sit. Out work all of them, go to the net. The fact that he's been doing these type of things while injured is crazy good. If players like Carlson had the work ethic and heart of Oshie we wouldn't be playoff failures imo.

I feel ya!!!

[justwincaps]

We look like crap.   If not for Holtby, this is already a blowout. 

[ArJunaZ]

One big mistake I am seeing is not finishing with hard  checks. We need to beat them down

[newtoCapsparty]

Agreed.  We can't seem to get out of our own way.  I almost wish we could put all of the guys with no history here on the ice and just see what happens!

[justwincaps]

Clearly Carlson left his brain in the delivery room.

[alta]

NBC proving what a fuckknuckle station it is.  Does anybody give a shit about horse racing?

I have glue stocks so a little bit

[ArJunaZ]

Unless some other guys get into the Caps uniforms next period we're done.  These guys look like crap.
