watching the post game, the locker room is very dejected, if they don't win Tuesday in CBus I expect a breakdown worse than the one in Colorado


and CBus is here Friday

And they tied it on the road and didn't play "happy for a point" instead they pressed and got another and then continued to press after that and kept the Caps from pulling the goalie for at least a minute.


In short -- they WANTED the game a lot more than our team who looked to be afraid that OT would mean they would be late to the Super Bowl parties.


You can't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result.  Year after year we do the same things with the same guys and the same coach and we get the same results.  Why are we surprised?
Well we’re not surprised,but Teddy & Dickless keep pouring us KoolAid and telling us it’s 30ur Scotch because there’s enough morons who will believe Scotch is red and they can hold their alcohol

YHGTBFKM,
how can you blame the goaltender for the lack of defense in front of him? Ridiculous assertation
  He let in 3 goals that he should have stopped. One of those goals he put in his own net. He looked shaky all day. He has no rebound control at all. His positioning is terrible and he goes down way too early. When does make a save, the puck just hits him which is why he can't control his rebounds. He has no clue how to direct a rebound to the corner.
    There was some defensive breakdowns for sure but I really don't recall Grubauer bailing out the team once today. I know Beagle bailed out Grubauer though. Vegas didnt really get alot of high quality scoring changes but still scored 4 goals.
   You can't blame Carlson for this loss. He was only on the ice for the pp goal that Vegas got.

Backstrom is delusional. He was saying that the Caps keep battling for goals whether or not we are up or down a goal. Brent Johnson just said what I said, that the Caps gave no effort in last 19 minutes of the third and took their foot off the gas after they scored their last goal. 
Even after we gave up the tying goal we were  :poop: on the ice.

Did I say lack of effort?  :raspberry:

I'm really feeling like the Caps only care about collecting their paychecks.  Who needs to play in the postseason when you don't get paid shit for it anyway?  The other day I was figuring that Oshie gets paid $70K for every one of the 82 regular season games whether or not he plays.  He would have at least play in the Stanley Cup final to get paid $70K for the entire post season.  These guys know they are not getting there so why even make the playoffs to get paid nothing.

Looking pretty weak lately, and especially bad on defense. No idea how this team has won 30 games so far.
This whole group needs a wake up call. Trades, maybe a gm and/or coach firing..  I wouldn't mind seeing ovi leave. He makes too much for what he provides on the ice. Then maybe get a real gm who knows what to do with the cap space. Instead of blowing it on players like Orpik and Niskanen like the current guy did.

   Duh 3 of the 4 goals were on Grubauer. Weak rebound control on one goal. Terrible positioning on another goal and the last one he put in himself. He also got beat a few times but got lucky with posts or teammates bailing him out. He did not make one big save. He did absolutely nothing to help his team.
    Like I said Vegas didnt get a lot of great scoring chances but they still scored 4. How could you possibly defend this guy. He had a terrible game.

at the same time you openly admit the entire D corps had a horrible game, so once again, nothing you've said backs up your assertation that this loss is all on Grubby

I really want to believe that, but when I see the Caps on days like today I genuinely question their motivation.  I believe we should have won today. We beat ourselves for sure.

It seems I've been in this place before. This is a broken record we keep playing each season with this team.  Something drastic has to change, or we just need to settle with seeing Ovie set records without a Cup.

Ok - so I watched Schmidt all game. He is a better dman than anyone on our team. If you watched the game, there is zero argument. He not only has more talent, but he has more heart. You wouldn’t see him stand around at the side of the net while some guy wacks away and scores.

   No point in beating a dead horse. Management blew it and now he is gone. Can't change it.

    And like I said even though we had some defensive break downs they didnt result in many scoring chances.  Grubauer should have stopped 3 of the 4 goals. Thats nitva good game.

The best thing they can do is clean house.

   The team played well enough to win this game. In fact this was a game that we should have won. If we had even average goaltending in this game we win easily.

No, he didn’t have a great game, but he probably played well enough to win.  But the 6 Dmen hirt him way more than helped him.


One of the things to note is with the garbage that’s in front of them, our goalies have no room to allow softies of any kind.


Now I’m saying excuse them, but even Hassak and Broduer missed with their glove once in a while. . . but they also didn’t have Dman giving the puck away right in front of with no one else around, high volume turn overs multiple odd man rushes, Dman player mg behind the net so they can’t get back, and forwards that watch breakaways as they glide back.

  But they did have was Coaches and 1& skaters that protected them, and more so on off games to stop the proverbial bleeding.    Holtby and Grubauer have nothing like that. Which is probably  why after those “ones they’d like to have back”,  everything goes downhill very quickly
