Bloody hail, I step out for one moment and when ai come back I see The Sabers  tie it up then score a goal? I can't leave the Caps alone for a minute without them getting in trouble?

those fly-by's behind their net just get more and more irritaing.  The only purpose they serve is for their D to get set up before we give the puck away.    :headbang:

Best thing about Strome scoring is it motivates Ovi. You know he wants to lead the team in goals.  :cross:

Lindy out after giving up 6 that weren’t his fault. Kuemper in with 14:20 remaining.

Could have used Wilson tonight. Besides the one check by Ovi, there has been zero hitting and as a result these guys are just skating circles around us.


How come all their cross-ice passes make it through, when ours are blocked every time?  Hmmm.

Looked kinda like the D gave up in the 3rd, or they just suck that bad.

welp, that sucked


next game is Thursday vs the Hens, which will now be a big game for a potential playoff spot

Post by: Mickstix on Wednesday April 03, 2024, 09:07:03 AM Eastern
Law of averages gonna catch up to us. There's a reason teams with that lopsided goal differential don't make the playoffs.  :-(  And again, we pay out way too much in D salary to be that bad. I don't care how fast or young a team is.. If Kuemper started that game we'd of given up 9 goals, guaranteed.

Well the good news is my Fn DirecTV failed to record the game so got home and tuned in right when Special K was brought in...so it was all over except for licking the wounds.  I missed suffering through the collapse and shitty play.
But if I had to choose...I'd rather they shit the bed vs Sabres than the Hens.
I told you they would go maybe .500 rest of the way...we are literally going to push it to the final game of the season...if we are lucky.
