They should sit Ovi, Oshie and Pacioretty, tbh. None of em are doing anything worthy of getting a sweater, plus Ovi's goals don't count in the playoffs, if he ever does get one.. But they'll burn em' completely out and hope for the best Im sure. 


Should have called up Frank and Crystall and whoever else would like to get a few minutes of playoff hockey on their resume. Ryan Leonard wanting to do another year in peewee is also a disappointment. He'll probably break a knee or something and we'll never see him. Caps Hockey! lol

The Caps are outclassed.  They are outmatched in every aspect of the game.  The Rags are better at every single aspect.  We don't match up with them anywhere. 
Even Carbs system of man on man hurts vs Rags because we are weaker by each man and slower.  When one guy can't keep his man, they have an advantage or open man.  When 4 of the 5 cant stay with their man....well...you get what we had here last week...
The Caps simply are not good enough, and they are not catching any breaks either.  They'd have to get some breaks, Lindy have exceptional game, and maybe we could steal one.  We hang with them for moments or stretches of games, but not for an entire game.

We are all disappointed, but is anyone surprised by this?

Oh, and I caught some of the Oilers 1st game...man when they are clicking, they are friggin awesome to watch.  They'd make the Rags look slow.
They are suspect in goal though IMO.

Yea, most all the other games look much faster than ours because we aren't in them.    This team needs a comprehensive rebuild and I'm not convinced we have the management (see GM) to get it right.  Our recent drafting has certainly been less than auspicious.

I can't see this crew winning a game.  They look totally outclassed.  When the Rangers decide to turn it up, we have no answers.  Unless Lindgren could cobble together a shutout or one goal game, they won't have to bother returning to NYC.

So Ovi just looks gassed.  A long season and all those games at the end did him no favors. For that matter, I think the whole team was exhausted at the end and could have used a few days off.  Three days in between now would help a lot.
