To reiterate and abbreviate (your welcome) my previous glorious (yet phantom) post...
1st Period looked great
2nd Period dogshit
3rd period...looked like hanging on for a tie
OT...looked like tie and OT loss was just fine by us,
And they looked so damn good in the entire 1st period. They dominated every aspect of the game.
Don't know if its bunch of tired old men or just not quite cohesive yet.
I imagine it is hard with so little camp, no pre-season, new coach, new players, etc, etc. but tired of making excuses for this bunch.
And wasn't it the idea that we shore up the defense with all these new acquisitions? Yet we have a 3.5 GAA.
Big Willy has looked damned impressive throughout. Even the NBC talking heads were praising his play. Willy looks like he's giving 100% all the time.
Jensen actually looks better this year...maybe confidence of having Groot out there to rely on or maybe just Lavy's system is more his style of play....or maybe just a four game fluke. I sure would like to see Ziggy in there.
Would be nice to think maybe it's fatigue from so much play in 6 days combined with new coach, new system, new guys, 8 months off, etc, etc
BUT....man up and play already you bunch of old Fucks.
GO CAPS
alta:
normally there are 6 preseason games, the vets usually only play in 3 and that's just a couple periods. The number one goalie will play all 60 of the last preseason game but he's the only one. The biggest loss is the month of practices. Every single team is in the same boat, I'm not worried. The very young and inexperienced goaltending will improve, and so will the D in front of them.
I'm pissed about the b.s. officiating the Caps always get in shitsburgh, should've won that first game 3-2 in regulation and the call on oshies hit I didn't like either. I bet there's about 20 of those every season that don't get called.
then there's mr Norris who can't keep a puck in the zone during a 5 on 3
Beaglefan2:
Can we please get a faceoff coach? I recall Carolina did that and improved dramatically. When you get to OT and lose every faceoff, you don't have a chance!

Yep, but I did hear them say Eller (yes, ELLER) won a high percentage of his faceoffs this year. (No idea where to look that up)
and then...
they went back to stroking Crosby's incredible skill level and ability to DOMINATE the faceoff circle...
