Both games, albert more responsible than in the past , they degreased to firehouse/video game/pond hockey shit. No wonder they got tired and sloppy.

I agree about the pond hockey comment. That's exactly what it was. On the tailend of a back to back why would you run and gun with the Pens. You would think they would gave tried to slow the game down.
On the plus side Oshie and Carlson have looked very good through 2 games. 4 points for Carlson isn't surprising but the plus 4 rating and the fact that Carlson lead the team in TOI and I dont think was on the ice for any of the 7 goals allowed is impressive. I'm not exactly sure on that. I dont recall him being on the ice for any of the goals against. It seemed Niskanen and Orlov were on for the majority of the goals against.

The game was sloppy, yes
But getting a point in an OT loss on the road on the 2nd night of a back to back against a very good team while missing a 1st line guy? I'll take it

If someone had asked me before the game started whether I would be happy with a point I would have said hell yes. I really didn’t think the Caps had a chance going into that game having played the night before and going against Pittsburgh in their home opener. While the Caps did have numerous breakdowns I think that was the result of fatigue. They were slow in reacting and they had some bad turnovers. However, I give them a lot of credit for not quitting and coming back to tie the score.

Its nice to get the point but I am more concerned about the way we played than the single point. If we lost 3-2 I wouldnt be as concerned. Hope its just a bad game and not a sign of things to come.

Yea, giving up 7 goals is embarrassing, regardless of opponent or back to back, etc.. And not getting a W after scoring 6x? Again, embarrassing.. And this schedule is idiotic.. 5 days off then another back2back? :poop:
