Tired of these assholes thinking that stick handling through 4 players is the best way to enter the zone. Tired of the lack of battle / puck retrieval when they do manage to get it in.
Also sick and tired of the passes to fucking no where. I feel like I haven't seen a crisp tape to tape pass since mid December or something FFS. Way too much of that "throw the puck somewhere and hope another Caps player is there to get it." Well maybe look with your goddamn eyes first to see where people are.
I get that the ice was shit but jesus christ I'm getting really sick of the Caps bullcrap right now. It feels like I'm spending 3 hours of my day watching fucking amateur hour. Must be even worse for the poor souls who pay for tickets to see this shit show. Caps really need to clean up their play. I don't know what it is. It doesn't seem like laziness or a lack or skill or anything. It just seems like stupid mental mistakes and trying to be too cute sometimes...

All good comments here. Caps played much better than previous two games, but still not the team that won the cup, not even close. I see a number of players at various times just standing around looking instead of battling. Bring back the fight and the pride boys!
Good night all!

My apologies for the tasteless "No Pee Pee Sauce" video. I was feeling silly and frustrated by the PP. :P

Very stale, Mick!
At least this time it wasn’t a 100% train wreck on the PP, as there were a few bright spots. But certainly not enough not even close, to where we need to be with it.
One thing they tried, that I was happy about, was getting rid of that slingshot crap, that they have been doing recently. Several times, on the PP, they brought it up and passed up ice, without that stupid slingshot, and crossed into the Dallas zone in good set up shape. What happened after that of course, went a little south, but it was an improvement nonetheless!
Another real mystery is who the hell was that #9 tonite??? This was the Orlov, that we hoped he would grow into after his big raise from GMBM!! He actually played pretty well tonight!
Copley, absolutely played off the hook, and the MAIN reason we got a point tonight!
The freaking hens are playing their ass off right now, And we seem to be on the slow roll, as to getting back to where we were just a couple weeks ago!
Kuzy is NOT lookin good, and Carlson’s D has been steadily progressing south! Although I will say Carly had an ACTUAL physical hit, while skating down the boards, on some “slow poke” who took the puck from him originally, which helped Carlson should save a little face! Other than that he has been pathetic on defense. Just pathetic!!
Anyway, just my two cents.
