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
--- End quote ---
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.
ArJunaZ:
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.
