Can't/won't win a playoff series if the other teams goalie is better than yours.. :poop:

Holtby seems to always come up small at the worst times. Tampa's game winning goal last game was a good example. No way that should have gotten in.

I wouldn't blame Holtby for losing these games. But as I've said before for us to advance Holtby needs to win it for us.

Niskanen single handedly lost this game for us. With a bit if help from Orlov. And Arm says Carlson makes bonehead plays. Carlson has cost us less in these playoffs than Niskanen did in this game alone. Fuck

I said Niskanen and Orlov sucked this game, but Backstrom is not 100% and he's hurting the team.

Home ice is like a haunted house for them. This series was basically over after Game 3 because, for some reason, the psyche of this franchise is one geared toward losing. Just as many fans, or at least those who have been around, started to doubt seriously after Game3, I have no doubt that the team was doing the same. They know the history here. Many have participated in it. Like I posted before, in the whole history of the NHL, teams with 2 game leads win 87% of the time. Washington is 2-7 with 2 game leads and about to be 2-8. How is that explained?

The psyche/mentality of the franchise is entertainment for 82 games and market “have a chance” to the tune of $300 tickets in the 400 section.
Until Ted cleans out the front office, namely Dickless Patrick and GMBetaMale, the “we have a chance” and “participantion trophy’s mean we won something so that’s good”, ain’t gonna change
“But we made it past two whole rounds!”
:koolaid:

Gang, if they could somehow play a full 60 minutes (for two full games), they would be in the Cup Finals. Long stretches of controlling the play, but unfortunately long stretches of not showing up, taking shifts off, etc. I do think this squad is different...they can dig something out. I know the feeling of the fanbase is to be negative but I still believe they've got what it takes this time!
