I'm certainly not. And it shows why the team's integrity in willing itself to the playoffs with this crew, while it was noble, has NOT been in the best interests of the franchise. When you lose your top two centers and have no remotely equivalent replacements, and when half your defense is injured, you can't compete. It isn't just the players you lose. It's the guys you have to move up in the lineup to play against opponents they don't match up against. That's why a few top players can make all the difference to a team. It isn't just their capabilities; it's that they move other players down in the lineup to play against guys they match up better against.
Right. Nothing to see here. Just be glad Tom Wilson didn’t make that hit, he’d be out 10 games.

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.
