For Christ’s sake will they just get rid of the concourse cam?

We should have had this game buried by the 10 minute mark of the second period -- should have been 4-0 or better.  We should decline all PPs.  Did the coaching staff do ANYTHING to change up the entries?  Answer -- not a fucking thing.  If you can't skate it in you throw it cross corner and time it with Willy or Vrana skating in so that they are first to the puck.  Both goals we gave up were because we were not strong on our sticks.  Making this WAY more difficult than it should be.  Hockey gods can be unkind so you can't leave it to the potential for a skate deflection at the end of the day.

It doesn't look very good, just one goal ahead. 

[DC_1908]

[Second Sucks]

Good god, they made that look easy.  What kind of angle was that from Holtby

[alta]

 

[apace41]

Holts has been good but that was just awful. The whole team is playing scared.

[RavenCp]

I will be very surprised if we'll win this game.

[HoustonCapsFan]

Ugh. We are playing like crap.

[Surreylily]

THis is so painfull to watch.

[HoustonCapsFan]

FFS OT. Really?

[DC_1908]

Jesus Christ . 

[alta]

positive thoughts everyone, except you kit

[apace41]

GOOD teams don't let a series go to game 7.  GOOD teams don't give up 2 2-goal leads and then go to the OT puck luck battle where something off someone's skate gets you picking tee times.

This WAS a good team but once Kempny went down we became an average team.  And once TJ went down we became pedestrian because we don't have the one guy on the team who works hard all the time.  Eller has tried to fill that role but too many guys are playing scared.  Vrana is a fucking joke.  If you dug a hole for ice fishing he'd be the first one in to hide.  He's been non-existent the entire series.

[apace41]

If we can get another Brooks Orpik miracle then perhaps we can get our shit together, but I'm not holding my breath.

[Mickstix]

Not good enough..    Two 1 goal leads last game, two 2 goal leads tonight.. Lame. 

[waynerivers]

I don't feel good about this at all.  I've seen this play way too many times over the years.  The Caps get shit in their necks in Game 7's at home.  They could have ended the game early if they'd just kept up the aggressive attack but Rierden wants to play defense instead.  I won't be surprised if they lose and it could be early on as I expect Carolina will go all out to score as quickly as possible.  On another note, Holtby has been weak on all three goals.  Not his best effort by a long shot.
