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.

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.

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

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.
