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.



 

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.

it was a much better contest than game 1, so there’s that


Caps lose 4-3

I agree but panarin should get a fkn game for that bs

At least there was an actual game occasionally tonight.   Decent refs would have helped.

Much better showing from our guys.   Well, some of them.   Ovi, Oshie and Patches need to cultivate some splinters, imho.
