I realize you don’t want to be stupid but it sure looks like we just okay with playing for a tie

[BarfingMonkey]

Yeah, that last minute it looked as though Buff was on a PP.

[richkrt99]

We miss Big Willy
He has been our best player this year

[richkrt99]

We need to catch a break in OT

[Mickstix]

We've been outta gas for the last 5 minutes.

[richkrt99]

No offense to Dowd...he does hustle but he isn’t going to win it in OT

[canadiancapman]

    Agreed. But once Orlov returns who will they sit? I'd have no problem with Orlov being a healthy scratch.
     The team has been better defensively without him. Even Carlson has been better in the done without Orlov.

I like Orlov more than most do here but I have to admit he is expendable at this point. If we could trade him, that would clear a tone of cap space. We desperately need someone that is much better at faceoffs. I'm pretty sure beagles contract is up after this season and with the way the Canucks have started the season, I could see him being available at the deadline.

[richkrt99]

We look short handed

[richkrt99]

Jesus Caps...you can’t toss it around to the point when there’s only 3 guys and nobody at the point

[richkrt99]

Hah..would have loved to see Dillan get one there

[BarfingMonkey]

What an OT!

I don’t dislike Orlov but at this point and our depth I’d agree with your assessment
IF they could trade him it would be nice to unload the contract and the Caps have more needs elsewhere

[alta]

that's that then 0-2 ain't gonna do it

[alta]

Caps used to be good at the shootout, they've absolutely sucked at it this year

[Mickstix]

I feel grateful for the point to be honest. We'll get throttled by NYI if Wilson isn't back. Might anyway.

[richkrt99]

Fucking Caps suck in th shootout this year
Vitek deserved better result fir this game

[BarfingMonkey]

[richkrt99]

Sammy might have stupided himself out of a starting job
Vitek has looked good

[richkrt99]

Ho hum.


So if a tie is like kissing your sister...
What’s a tie that turns into a loss?


Kissing your sister and...getting caught doing it?

    You have to give Ullmark some credit. He is very good in shootouts. He wasn't biting on any fakes. He doesn't go down early and when he does go down he does open up the 5 hole like a lot of goalies do.
