ArJunaZ:
Good night Mick
waynerivers:
As expected, Rierdon doesn't have them ready to play. Another pathetic home effort. So glad Boyd scratched to keep Panik on the ice. :O=

There were a few times I saw Panik standing around their goal just puck watching instead of battling and making space. Quite a few Caps appeared to linger tonight as opposed two their usual aggressive attack on the puck. They were just not prepared in any fashion for this game. I think as Mick stated it was a trap game for sure.
I didn't say anything (not that I ever would ahead of a game), but I had a strong feeling today that this game was not going to be pretty. Big game coming up Wednesday; just came off a long successful road trip; have already won 6 in a row; Bäckström returning causing shuffling of the lines; I think these were all working to encourage complacency and excuses tonight. Plus the Jackets were on a 4-game skid and hungry to prove themselves. The classic trap formula painted a bleak picture for us tonight and we obliged.

well that was ugly. but that's only the second egg they've laid this year, that's one every 16-17 games, not a bad ratio

I agree Wayne on Panik/Boyd!
I was a little surprised at all the line mixup, due to Backys’ return!
May have contributed to a giant lack of chemistry tonight, overall!
Panik may be on borrowed time. Boyd would have been the better insert!
Torts had his guys motivated tonight, and that goalie played pretty well!
Holtby was the main reason this game was even close at the start of the third P.
I DID notice that Seigenthaler was really making an effort to up his physicality on the boards! His defensive skills are very steadily improving!
