Who said said it was about empty net goals. I call it being realistic and keeping moral up. The Caps didn't generate shit all day but magically they will in the last 2-3 minutes when down by 2? Title was luck that kept the Caps from being shutout today, not skill.

     Sorry but when you are down by 2 goals late in the game pulling the goalie is the thing to do. Just because a team hasn't had success 6 on 5 doesn't mean you give up on it. I doubt that will ever change.
   The problem was the first 57 mins that put us in this position.
Maybe we are expecting too much because this team had alot of success in recent years 6 on 5.

When the team has shown zero ability to generate any offense for 57 minutes, pulling the the goalie with 3:00 to go and down by two is not the thing you do. It is not a standard procedure throughout the league.


If they were down by one you take that chance for a lucky bounce to get a point.
