The Caps seem to put up these rather uninspired efforts at home where they either play flat footed or get leads and then think the game is over (Anaheim and Nashville games come to mind). They seem much more focused on the road. This is something Rierden needs to address. When you start seeing 70' stretch passes instead of controlled breakouts, that's lazy hockey and lazy hockey leads to losses. They also need to fix the PP in short order or they aren't going to beat the better teams.

You’d think the Caps were last in the league and had lost 12 of their last 15 games.
Certainly not our best game but better than one would think reading all the hatred on these boards.
Make sure all you guys that are fed up with this team don’t watch any more games...especially when we get into the playoffs. Afterall, the Caps suck and have no chance so you might as well not waste your time watching this train wreck of a season. (27-12-5)
For the first time in I can remember, the Caps outshot opposition and won more face offs. I thought they were sluggish but also very patient and did not panick. OT is always a crapshoot and the penalty was lame, but overall the refs swallowed the whistle the third period. (Should have been a call in Oshie trip but meh...there were several times Caps could have been called near the end and weren’t.
Lighten up peeps. I’ll take the point.
Go Caps.

yea, so when they interview a coach during intermission and he himself says the team forgot to show up, the fans should just ingnore that because they are 27-12-5, won more face offs than other team for what seams like the first time this season and the PP is now 2-37 :huh: . The Caps are damn lucky they got a point against a team they needed 2 from.
