richkrt99 - great post. For years, I have been screaming about the Caps not ever, ever, ever benching key players for poor performance. I just don't get it. If they don't want to embarrass one established star, then bench 2 or three of them at the same time. Right now, I would bench Backstrom, Oshie and Kuzy for the next game before the break. Then let them stew over the break and come back pissed off.

I liked Rich’s post too, Beags!
Plus I like that he can rant as long as I can, and maybe with even more substance!!🤣😂 (Love ya, Rich. Just picture De Niro in the movie “Analyze This”, pointing his finger at Billy Crystal saying...”You’re good, Doc...No, No...You’re good...No, No...YOU are good”)!!😁😁
I too, saw a little bit better effort, especially early on! Too bad the D was just collectively out to lunch!!
Nisky, Orlov, Orpik, Carlson, and Bowey, ALL had MULTIPLE failures on clearing or bringing up the puck! Hell, even Kempny had a couple, and that’s one of his strengths! A lot of forwards also missing MULTIPLE, MULTIPLE, simple passes, by not being detailed!!
These are HUGE mistakes that lead to unnecessary, repeat CHANCES for opponents SOG’s!
In this case, even if the effort is better, it cannot compensate for THAT many breakdowns, I dont care if you play gritty and hustle the entire game!
Hustle and good effort can win games even with SOME poor execution, but the AMOUNT of the lack of execution in this game, would doom any team!! AND IT DID!
Rush

Don't forget the goaltenders! On top of the shit D and O, the goaltending has been suspect as well..

I’d say more resigned, cynical, or apathetic before suspect.
This circus ac . . . er “system”, of Reidons is dependent on the goalie(s), winning games on thier own while the seven forwards pad their stats.
I wouldn’t blame either if they stopped and called their agent when facing, yet another, odd man rush

Odd man rush or not, they've got a job to do and can't let every single one end up in the back of the net. Copley especially has looked like shit the last 2 times he's been in goal.
