It appears the only question for tonight’s lineup is Milano, Phillips and Iorio had the extra skate this morning and should the extras.

How many give aways in that period?     :clown:

And every time someone gets a break, instead of shooting, we do that pointless fly-by behind the net which, inevitably ends up on their stick.     :headbang:     But hey, let's carry on doing the same thing anyway.  It will work eventually........ :-|

One of the signs of insanity is doing the same exact thing over and over again and expecting a different result. :-(

I don't have a problem losing to a better team.  I have an issue with our guys playing so increrdibly badly.

Post by: Beaglefan2 on Thursday March 28, 2024, 09:23:16 PM Eastern
We were due for a clunker. When you play a team with more talent that plays more physical and outworks you, this is what happens.  I was hopeful when Ovi laid the lumber early that we would get going, but nobody seemed to join in.


We just seemed to get pushed around all night. Really wish Protos would use that big body, and Alexyev.


One bright spot was Miro. He had plenty of mistakes but he let a couple laser shots go that were rockets.

We definitely know how to lose big. There's no in-between. Win close or get smoked. Oh well. Saturday at 7pm


Last 20 games, need 11-8-1 to have a chance. Currently 6-4-0 L1

Caps lose 5-1




The teams immediately around us also lost last night, so what essentially happened was that another day, and another game, was knocked off the calendar and the schedule.  There isn't a whole lot of either left.

Agree on all this.  I really like MIro's game.  He shoots the fn puck and wants to score, and he hits people, and hes pretty fast, but that shot release is special.  I hope he really becomes a scorer...this team needs some.
I was kind of was expecting this game...Caps cant play above their talent ALL the time, and they've been on a pretty dang good streak.  Toronto is bigger, faster, stronger, and more skilled, and the Caps didnt play well.
