Nice they got the 2, but if this keeps up I'll need to up my bourbon game.. Oh, and another goal when the opp pulls their goalie! "Winning" :poop:

6 goals for, great
5 goals against against a bad team, not to mention letting them crawl back after earning a 5-3 lead...shit.
I'm glad we got the 2 but it's like our defense thinks it's still the All Star break.

More like, they've been told their team is full of ALL-STARS, so they play D like every game is an All-Star game. 8-0

There’s amount of over confidence with the team, organization, and fan base. The only team in the East playoff picture I’d feel confident facing would be Carolina. Other than that, every team looks better than they did last year. Additionally, everyone will be bringing thier A game way before their down 3 games because they know the Caps are able to get pass the second.
Hell, if the playoffs started today we’d play the Islanders, which is the LAST team we want

That was a weird game overall. Watching the game, I though Caps dominated play (as well they should) more so than the Rags, but the score was pretty even. I would say the Caps were the better team overall, but the Rags got some weird bounces or lucky or Copely just wasn't sharp. Can't blame a guy for weird bounces, but good thing King Luney was off his game too. Really got to stop letting teams back in though. Those stupid goals in the last minute have got to stop.
There were certainly no Vezina votes cast for either goalie yesterday, that's for sure.
Glad to get the win even if we begged to give the game away. It's like the Caps team mentality is to plan to play just good enough to beat what the EXPECT the other team's effort/ability is on a given day. When they come up against a lower team that is having a good day, the Caps aren't good enough. Yet when they get up for a good team like Toronto, they are expecting to have to play harder to win and do so. (well...er...sometimes)
We lose that game yesterday if Willy isn't there. He brought enough heart to drag half the team with him. I think he is as important to the Caps success as anyone right now.
