Game after game after game Trotz cannot get these guys ready to play. That's the coach's job.
SMH.
-
great start

Par for the course

Lmao. Has anyone ever thought we have just a mediocre team.
-
Once again, our coach does not have these guys ready against a weaker team. Orpik is a fucking pylon..
Pittsburgh is playing Montreal and wants the lead.. He's really off his game. Maybe a couple games in the sky box will help him
-
since that was Willy I bet the league says something about it tomorrow
-
I think Maaco is on to something.. May be we're just not very good!! :wackysmile: We've relied heavily on exceptional goaltending most of the year.
-
Eller!!!
-
T! J!
-
un fukin believable
-
Wow defense is brutal tonight.
-
how ironic will it be when Grubs gets pulled
-
What a shit show.
This looks a video game or the Reston rinks Sunday night game.
This just sucks
-
From dpf via text:
Orlov sucks donkeys

And it was our #1 pair. :wackysmile:
-
ORLOV! 3-2
-
Orly!
looks like it's gonna be one of those nights
-
ORLOV! 3-2
First time I've seen this Isles goaltender. He isn't looking very good. That last goal was weak
-
3 goals in the first. . . The lynch mob would be after Holtby with torches and pitchforks
-
:wackysmile:
I just love that goofy smiley emoji.. Tops off the majority of my posts perfectly! LOL
-
Hello all!!
My dead grandma is nimbler than Orpik
-
The Isls D is ranked 31st, so I'm guessing the Caps is 30th?

LMAO, Mick.
Getting all charged up over the emoji. Too funny.
-
Le Habitants up 2-0

Another shit call by the zebras
-
Le Habitants up 2-0
2-1 now, crap.

It's nice to have someone appreciate the emojis. If anything I usually get complaints for emojis we don't have.

If you are talking about goals against we are somewhere around 20th.
-
Lucky lucky lucky!!! But glad we have it!! 8)
-
We've pulled tugged, pulled, and slashed.......no calls.
I might drift into the paranoia of the refs being against the Caps!!!
-
Paisano's has What-Chu-Want? They must be talking about heart attacks!

It's not paranoia, it's simple analysis of the facts and numbers. I was not inclined to make that claim, but it became too obvious.

:19z:
-
Wow,tonight we have been scored every chance we got :P
-
Flukey goal by Backstrom. Those are the ones that we usually give up
-

Did everyone not see that tug.....and then we got called??? Pretty blatant bias, I think.

I dont believe that stuff

I think we are in agreement. 8)

that other game is now 2-2 >:(
-
I wish Holtby played in tonights game
-
Winnipeg is on fire tonight
-
that other game is now 2-2 >:(
Now 3-3
ETA
We have two games in hand on the Hens.

If we get 8 goals and win do we get 75% off Papa John's Pizza tomorrow? Or maybe even free?
-
that's not what expected after the way it started but it's a win
-
7 goals and Ovi didnt get one. The Islanders made us look good tonight.
-
I told people at practice yesterday that Oshie was going to score tonight. That line looked really good, it was great to see Oshie and Burakovsky score. They have to keep scoring for the Caps to have any success. Can’t wait to see how Holtby plays tomorrow night. Hopefully the Caps will get off to a better start tomorrow night. In the first 5 minutes the Islanders had 4 prime scoring chances.

Yep, that’s we play another team that’s only built to sell tickets we’re good, but everyone else proves otherwise

We won Sharks! :)
-
The Islanders are NO match for us!!! :wackysmile: lol
-
Hopefully that will be the case again tonight. I don’t think tonight’s game will be as easy. The Islanders first goalie was terrible. I still have no idea how Orlov’s shot went in and Eller’s goal should have been stopped. I expect we will see Halat in net tonight for the Islanders.

Pressure is on.
Rolling with Gruby in net, easy win last night and now back at home.
Also, no comment on Clutterbuck's cheap nut shot on Willie? He does in right in front of the refs, and gets a lousy 2 minutes. Wilson would have been strung and quartered by the NHL had he done that.

NHL is probably calling it a wash, he did ever so slightly leave his feet delivering his first hit in the 1st
