They lost the series today to be honest. The guys are ready for golf. Trotz is looking forward to getting canned. That's about it. Only thing worth cheering for when it comes to this team is seeing Ovechkin continue to score goals and break records, and seeing some of our other young guys move forward in their careers. There's no team accomplishments that will ever come to this shit team. Just individual records, so might as well cheer for those individual players.

Trotz won't be getting canned unless they resign him then can him.

Niskanen was at least partially responsible for all 3 goals. He was by far the worst player on the ice for either team. Wtf. He is a veteran and supposed to be our shutdown guy. I don't see it.

Agreed. Niskanen has had plenty of games this year when he made one stupid hockey play after another. Tonight was a bad time for another one.
For the first goal he half-heartedly stands up at the line and doesn’t bother to take either guy - bad decision.
For the third goal he was in good position but I guess decides the guy is going to drop pass so he doesn’t protect the edge like he should - bad decision.

Expecting your goalie to bail out porous D and a team that fails to show up for the first period is not reasonable. But you can put it on him if you want.

That's the thing, I'm not expecting it, or putting it all on Holtby.. I'm just stating fact. Vasi is "bailing out" his team better then Holtby is and the better goalie wins the series, period.. Certainly isn't all his fault, but if we are to advance, needing to score 4-5 goals isn't gonna end well.. :hearts:

Vasi isn't really bailing out his team. Remember Vasi single handedly lost the first 2 games if the series. Vasi has made a handful of good saves the past couple games. No different than Holtby. Vasi has also let in more soft goals than Holtby has in this series.
Vasi has definitely picked up his play from the beginning of the series.
