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.

--- Quote from: Maacoshark on Sunday February 04, 2018, 03:41:53 PM Eastern --- 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.

nothing you've said backs up your assertation that this loss is all on Grubby,

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
