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.

On the HF boards a lot of people are putting the blame all on Holtby. They don't mention the turnovers and poor defensive play.

Still lots of hockey to be played tonight, but if they play like they did in that 1st we aren't doing anything here this evening.

We fans sure have some crazy ideas.

Particularly because our fucking brain trust didn't protect Nate Schmidt who is going to be an all-star dman in this league for the foreseeable future. I could see that last year and I'm just a dipshit fan. How would it feel to have Forsberg and Schmidt. That's why this organization sucks.

Pretty tough to protect Schmidt unless we decided to protect 4 dmen and only 4 forwards

The Caps have stayed the course that started 10yrs ago, and GMGM made a team of unknowns that are one win away from going to the finals. Add to the historic rumors like wanting to hire Cooper over Oates, Nylander deal etc, where GMGM had to go against what he advised (and these are just rumors), there is clearly another layer to investigate.
That leaves two people to be accountable: Ted and Patrick. Ted has stated he leaves “hockey decisions to hockey people”, it’s becoming clear that Patrick is the wrong hockey person

Yeah I've been thinking about it a lot. Engylland comes to mind. Never got a sniff here.

We had all the youngsters in against the Pens in the statement Game 6 that became a carryover for us in the next two games against the Bolts. Too many passengers, not enough urgency. Plus it looked to me like the kids just shut up and played the system, and I don't think I've seen that from some of our other guys.
As for Backy, he's clearly better than the rookies. But he doesn't look 100% to me at all. He's looked lost out there trying to catch up to the play.
