Caps had 3 power plays in the 2nd, I don't expect the zebras to be generous in the 3rd
PUCKNRUSH:
Shit!!
Philly, just got a Shorty, while I was typing my last post!!
Two things:
Holtby WAS able to make enough of a stretch with his leg, all the way to the post, and WOULD HAVE blocked the shot, BUT his late TIMING of the stretch, was the problem!
When Holtz is on his game, his stretch timing is perfect, and that shot would have been blocked!
More proof, that he’s been a little off as of late!!
2nd thing is how the shorty breakaway even started! I rewound Carlson’s intercepted pass, for the breakaway, and dammit, Carlson absolutely rushed that pass, BECAUSE he was fully INTIMIDATED, by the defender skating at him!
Use whatever SEMANTIC word games you want! I call it a MISTAKE, committed as a result of being TOO concerned about a little bit comin to his body!! Sometimes, you simply have to suck one up, crowd around the puck, and protect it as best you can!! Not appear to have the attitude, “fuck it, I don’t care what happens,If I just fling it away, maybe they’ll leave me alone!! I’ve got to protect my precious little self from any harm!!” Friggin douche bag!!
Many of our opponents have learned EXACTLY how you can disrupt JOHN Carlson!!

--- Quote from: waynerivers on Wednesday January 08, 2020, 09:14:49 PM Eastern ---The last 10 games or so show why Riorden is in over his head. It's one thing to win on sheer talent but when you need to discipline a lazy assed team playing carelessly or alter your gameplan, he has no clue at all. He's an empty suit back there and is why this team will probably underperform in the playoffs.

Good post Wayne!
You don’t post often, but they’re very insightful when you do!
I’ve been saying for a long time that this team is so talent laden, that it practically has the luxury of CHOOSING when it feels like playing at a high-level, or NOT!
I had been heavily on the coachs’ case from last year, and then when CAPS were really turning it on in November I started to praise Rierden a bit, but with this month-long energy drop, it really does seem to be out of Rierdens control!
The players basically show up when they feel like it, and as fans we are forced to have to accept it or pull away emotionally!
There’s so much talent on this team, that the boys themselves, do make sure to keep their playoff head above water! But you just feel screwed, as a fan, when you witnessed this stuff!!
