Well we got 4 shots on net. The last 2 were from outside the blue line. Did we even get a scoring chance in that period?

This team has finally hit bottom. You get over your arch rival and then take a 2-0 lead on the road and now you are on the verge of getting blown out to go down 3-0. I thought once we beat the Hens it would be "house money" and I wouldn't care all that much how we did, but they drew me in and fucked me up the ass one more time. I gotta hand it to the Caps. Just when you think they outperformed expectations and I have to be happy, I'm as pissed off as I ever have been in one of our awful season-ending losses. To come out not ready and to have Orlov, who's been our best defender this series, commit two turnovers for goals, just really is as fitting as it gets.
Fuck this team.

No. Maybe the Vrana chance. Just awful. Game is too tough for our centers. Kuzy and Backy way too soft. Eller too dumb. Just a total fucking embarrassment. They are skating circles around us. If not for some good saves from 70 we are down 4 or 5.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I never expected them to even get past the 1st round. Once they did, I never expected them to beat PITT. But they did and I was ecstatic that we at least beat our demons and were playing with house money. Never expected us to get a 2-0 lead over TBL, but once we were in that position, I actually started thinking "could this be our year???" I guess once those thoughts came, the Caps in typical dipshit Caps fashion disappointed all around.
And again, the fact that fucking Las Vegas with a team built from the ground up over the course of 1 season is likely making it to the finals and has a good chance to win it all in their first year, without many real stars, makes me even more salty.

You could see that as the series has been wearing on TB has picked up speed in their game and we have slowed down. It would be too easy to blame it on us having played more hockey than they have in the first 2 rounds (by a lot), but that doesn't help. We just look discombobulated, like we haven't been playing together all season. Bringing 19 back has caused new unfamiliarity that was not present before this. Just not a good enough effort from top to bottom. You can't play this game like a bunch of scared pussies and we are.
