What a way to lose a game.
We had it.  We gave it away.
Our D was appalling.

[alta]

Looked like Dylan got assists on both those

[ArJunaZ]

Lots of opportunities in the simple battles that the Caps simply did not execute on.  A little more effort here and a little more effort there and this could have been a different outcome. I also can't remember Ovie fanning on more incredible opportunities.  It was an exciting game to watch though. Habs played their hearts out. Caps, not so much.

[Surreylily]

I hope Orpik's back tomorrow.

Yep.  Have to give the Habs some credit.  They took their chances.

Night ight sweeties.

Talk about a total collapse.  Hard to believe.  Should Holtby had Domi’s goal, not blaming Holtby though, he made some amazing saves.

   He definitely sucked tonight. By far his worst game if the season. The game winning goal was on Holtby. It went through his glove. It may have been deflected. Not sure.
Whatever it doesnt matter. The team played like crap. This is the worst Ive seen this team play defensively since the late 70s. Yes we are that fricken bad.

[ArJunaZ]

Night ight sweeties.   

Good night Lil!

[Maacoshark]

A positive note. The Islanders beat the Pens in a shootout. Islanders with back to back wins against the Pens. Good for them.

[Mickstix]

Told ya they'd be hung over..

Carlson was in good position to defend and take on Domi. He simply didn’t. Probably the worst 4 final minutes I’ve ever seen from #74.
First the bad pass to set up the tie game goal. Then the weak poke check, signature D move, by Carly, which Domi just brushed aside, then shot with ease!
Not the most difficult shot for Holtz to stop, so he gets some blame as well!
Give Montréal some credit for capitalizing on our mistakes.
Finally, Bura, another NOTHING BURGER of a game. He does NOT deserve 2nd line attention. 3rd line looked good with that combo of 20, 10, 18!

Carlson was adequate in first two periods. But agree he took a 4 minute turd at the end. Hopefully he shakes it off for Dallas.
Holtz played a factor in a few of Habs goals. Defense was generally bad most of the game. Holtz and Carly share blame IMHO, on the game winner.
Carlson in crease for Habs fourth goal, gave half of a defensive effort, looked weak when goal was scored. Holtz not to blame on that one. Orlov lost control of puck behind net, as well!!

[ArJunaZ]

Good night all. See you on Saturday.

     I dont know. I thought Carlson and Kempny both sucked. Orlov wasnt spectacular either.
Our defense is bad. We never would have blown a lead like this under Trotz.

[richkrt99]

Holy sheit!!!
How did we blow that?  Habs gots some good bounces but all the talking heads are saying what a great exciting game. Well, yes it’s exciting when neither team plays defense and the goaltenders stand on their heads.
Even Alan May is drinking the koolaid. Saying this is one of the best games he’s seen?
Exciting yes, but not good. We not gonna win much if we keep allowing 4+ goals a game


Oh, and I’m confused...I thought the Back To Back chant was a reference to winning. Someone needs to tell the Caps that.


Lots of blame to go around.
Carlson....Holtby....Ovi. 
No particular order
WTF Caps

[richkrt99]

And my son comes in with three minutes left and Caps up and asks me “what game is this?”
(Cause I’m watching it about 90 minutes behind) and he already heard the final score of 6-4
He comes back in 5 minutes later and says.... I was confused cause I heard the final score on my way home and then I saw the score with three minutes left and couldn’t figure out what happened.


Yeah. Me neither kid. I

[alta]

I couldn't figure out that greatest game ever crap from May, was he watching the same game as everyone else?
