Sure as hell didn't overpay Holtby ....

[dpf1971]

But with how talented Pitt is ... we can't keep asking Holtby to save us like that.  This squad better start playing Team-D like it did last night.

Conno waited too long

Conno waited too long

   Ya I think he wanted to pass but the Pens covered the passing lane. The should have just shot it a bit earlier.

[ArJunaZ]

That was AWFUL D all around.  FFS

[Maacoshark]

   Our defence hasn't been very good in this game. Especially Niskanen and Orlov

[DC_1908]

chanting the goalies name has. become so overplayed it’s patheticc.

nice D Connolly.  🤬

[Maacoshark]

nice D Connolly.  🤬

   Yup fn pathetic. He just let his man go. Bad thing about this game is that Holtby has made a lot of great saves in this game. How often can you say a goaltender is playing well when he has given up 5 goals in 2 periods.

yep!!


This is the shit that has done us in time and time again

   This is the type of hockey I despise. Fucking pond hockey. There are hanging Holtby iut to dry. Niskanen has been especially shitty in this game. I dont understand how people figure he is a shutdown guy because he isn't. Sorry guys but Carlson might be our best defence man at both ends of the ice.

Caps ran out of gas that period.  I hate back to back games unless both teams are playing back to back.  Caps have to be exhausted both physically and mentally after all the activities the last few days.  Next week they can get back to a regular schedule.  I am not going to worry too much about the results in this game.

Agreed - after the emotion of last night and back- back the third could get ugly.  Sucks that the NHL did this to the Caps, plus denied us the joy of making Pittsburgh watch us raise the banner like we had to last year.

Gotta clear that 18.

Connolly showing why he’s a 3rd liner and why Bowey’s a 7th defender. 

[justwincaps]

Kind of feeling like DC answering my own posts. 

[justwincaps]

Anyone else wanna join in?

   Hate to burst your bubble but Niskanen and Orlov have been far worse than Bowey in this game. Niskanen has been awful.

They’ve got 6 goals ...... no one’s been good.
