2015 was the last time the Caps lost by 5 at home, it was the game where Trotz benched OV for oversleeping, they lost 5-0

Were 2, 6, and 7 the 2 one-timers (one cross crease and the other from behind the net) and the breakaway? Because if so I agree. There were a couple of deflection goals and a couple of wrist shot goals where I felt like a GOOD goalie could get some of them.
Again, LOSS isn't on Holts, but a good goalie doesn't give up a touchdown. A good goalie keeps the game within reach in case we want to mount a heroic comeback.

2 was the cross crease pass
6 was the net front deflection
7 was the cross crease pass from nearly behind the goal line on the 5 on 3.
I though Holts played the breakaway like crap and sat too far back in the net. He wasn't his aggressive self. he should have come out and challenged on that one IMO.

Cool to know. This was a hard game to swallow. Looked like complete garbage.

Looked at replays, I think 4, 5, 6 he should have gotten.
4 - The floater from the blue line that was deflected in. Holts was just leaky there.
5 - Turnover that led to a wrist shot from the Ovi spot. A good glove hand should have had that.
6 - The reason why I thought 6 he had a chance on was because the guy who tipped it WASN'T the guy on the far side of the net, he was the guy on the short side, and that tip was saveable with good positioning IMO.
The breakaway (#3), yeah I can see what you're saying about Holts being too passive there. That said, I generally don't expect goalies to save clean breakaways like that all the time so that's one I can see how he could have had that but also could give him a pass on. The three one timers I think were just too high danger to stop.
4 5 6 he should have had, and if he could have stopped 1 from the other 4 goals, I'd consider that a good effort on Holtby's part (we'd still lose though).
