It was appalling!
You're usually the negative one and I'm usually the positive one.
The onlly positive out of this game was that Ovi got two goals. That's it.
I have struggled to stay awake this whole game. I'ts nearly 4am here in my world. I go out of my way to offer my support to the team and to the morale of Caps fans on this board.
I expect better.
This was a shambles.

I confess to having not seen most of it live -- just the goals in the first which seemed to be fairly even based on the part I saw. Didn't see most of the second and I thought the third wasn't awful until the Kempny penalty -- we had several odd-man breaks we did not execute on. At this point in the season I'm going to feel good about any game where we get 2 points and Ovi scores twice. The way we played the past several weeks, any win is a step in the right direction.
But, if you saw the whole game and we sucked -- so be it. I'll still take the points because at the rate we were going, the playoffs were/are in question.
Good test against a very hot and good Philthy team coming up.

Might be worth having a look at these two head to head.

Tuesday you say? Hmmm Might be interesting to actually watch what a REAL hockey game looks like....

I thought Minnesota’s goalie actually had a decent game, but we had better goal shooting tonight, as well!!
Glad to see Ziggy back, despite a little rusty look at first, I thought he basically did his job!
Overall for our defense, however, when Orlov is your best defenseman for the night, because he just happens to make less mistakes than any of the other guys, that evening, that’s not saying much!
Actually, the Big Dillen, had a decent defensive game, but otherwise overall defense not impressive!
I hate to crack on Vrana, again, but he was defensively horrible tonight, and continues to have that look like he’s only there to wait for breakaway opportunities, or good feeds for SOG‘s!
It will be key in the playoffs for several of our most guilty forwards, to play defensively responsible, 200 foot hockey, actually, not only to GET to the playoffs possibly, but also to Advance!!
The Kuzys, Vranas, Backys, and Ovi’s, in particular!!

I thought Backstrom has been decent the past couple of games.

We had a couple of decent flourishes early on.
After that... WE WERE SHIT.
Did you now we tke the second most penalties in the whold NHL?
THIS team. This super talentented team, jjust can't seem to keep their dicks in their pants. the second worst penaltiies in the league.
So much skill thqt the can't even.....
:O= :O= :O=
