Caps at Stars pregame: Bounce back
(https://i2.wp.com/russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/caps-stars-pregame.jpg)
Headline photo: Jerome Miron

The Washington Capitals have the opportunity to immediately bounce back from their very poor showing against the St. Louis Blues on Thursday Night. That opportunity comes against the Dallas Stars, who the Caps have not beat in regulation, in Dallas since October 17, 1995.

We have another 8 PM start on our hands and you can catch tonight’s game on NBCSWA+ as superstar Sam Dekker and the Wizards have the Heat in Miami tonight on the main channel. As always you can stream all of their pregame, in-game, and postgame coverage via the My Teams app on all of your usual streaming devices. I will have your recap.

Jamie Benn

The Stars will be without their captain and third leading scorer tonight due to this hit from Miles Wood.


Storylines October 17, 1995 Things that were going on the day the Caps last won in Dallas, in regulation.

I am not one to criticize decisions made by a coach because they know way more than me but I really don’t understand why Brooks Orpik is playing back to back games when there is no need for it.  I understand he is just getting back after missing a ton of games so he may be physically able to play but he is 38 years old and I would rest him.  By the way in the two games he has played the Caps have given up 11 goals.  I am not saying he is the reason for that but it is what it is.

That was maybe the weakest boarding call I have ever seen.  Ovie barely touched him and did so from the side.  Did the guy ever even hit the boards, or just the ice?

5 SOG? Oof.. Had some decent zone time, but didn't generate shit from it. Maybe 1 (actual) scoring chance? Not good enough..

Agree the refs suck, but that doesn’t excuse 5 shots and an inability to complete simple passes and clear pucks on the PK.

Actually on the first couple of shifts in the game Backstrom, Oshie and Wilson all had good scoring chances but after that we had none.  5 SOG is just not acceptable.  We have to pick it up in this next period.

I thought Nicky had an actual good "chance" off that Carlson shot/pass.. Wilson and Oshie, imo, we're just prayers..

When I saw the penalty I couldn't figure out who caused the penalty and who embellished, even after watching the replay.  I ended up deciding Kempny embellished. boy was I wrong!

Much better period! Refs need to swallow the whistle and we might have a shot.. Penalties for either team don't seem favorable for us, even though we've had a few SH opps.. Id rather just play it out 5v5 and lets the chips fall.. (Rierden needs to address the PP here soon.. It's pretty much garbage)

First power play needs to change up the personnel I think (other than Ovi, keep him there). Tired of these assholes thinking that stick handling through 4 players is the best way to enter the zone. Tired of the lack of battle / puck retrieval when they do manage to get it in.

Also sick and tired of the passes to fucking no where. I feel like I haven't seen a crisp tape to tape pass since mid December or something FFS. Way too much of that "throw the puck somewhere and hope another Caps player is there to get it." Well maybe look with your goddamn eyes first to see where people are.

I get that the ice was shit but jesus christ I'm getting really sick of the Caps bullcrap right now. It feels like I'm spending 3 hours of my day watching fucking amateur hour. Must be even worse for the poor souls who pay for tickets to see this shit show. Caps really need to clean up their play. I don't know what it is. It doesn't seem like laziness or a lack or skill or anything. It just seems like stupid mental mistakes and trying to be too cute sometimes...

All good comments here. Caps played much better than previous two games, but still not the team that won the cup, not even close. I see a number of players at various times just standing around looking instead of battling.  Bring back the fight and the pride boys!

Very stale, Mick!
 At least this time it wasn’t a 100% train wreck on the PP, as there were a few bright spots. But certainly not enough not even close, to where we need to be with it.


 One thing they tried, that I was happy about, was getting rid of that slingshot crap, that they have been doing recently. Several times, on the PP,  they brought it up and passed up ice, without that stupid slingshot, and crossed into the Dallas zone in good set up shape.  What happened after that of course, went a little south, but it was an improvement nonetheless!


 Another real mystery is who the hell was that #9 tonite???   This was the Orlov,  that we hoped he would grow into after his big raise from GMBM!!  He actually played pretty well tonight!


Copley, absolutely played off the hook,  and the MAIN reason we got a point tonight!


 The freaking hens are playing their ass off right now, And we seem to be on the slow roll, as to getting back to where we were just a couple weeks ago!


Kuzy is NOT lookin good, and Carlson’s D has been steadily progressing south!  Although I will say Carly had an ACTUAL physical hit, while skating down the boards, on some “slow poke” who took the puck from him originally, which helped Carlson should save a little face!   Other than that he has been pathetic on defense. Just pathetic!!
Anyway, just my two cents.

Not a great game but thought the caps outplayed them. Goaltender won it.
Caps should have been better overall, and the end sucked by us, but we were better about 60% of the game.


And Brent Johnson and the other bafoon on Caps post game live have no business being sports announcers.
I know Brent played and is knowledgeable but he is painful to listen too. I've never liked the other guy...especially when he ran his yap (last year) about Holtby having a shutout when there was still a period to play. Thought (and really wished) Alan May was going to slug him. Of course he jinxed it.

Agree on Rob Carlin, (the guy with Johnson)!
Not as upset with Johnson, at least at pregame tonite. He called out Bura, and several defenseman errors, by name, and even got a little technical!👍


I tell ya Rich, I still like Joe B, and I used to think Locker was ok, ( I still prefer those two over any of the NBC dipshits)!   Anyway, Locker has been getting on my nerves a little bit lately!  I don’t think he could toss Carlson’s salad, any more than he does already, if he was his personal chef!!😂🤣☺️🤣😂

Another guy that needs to pick up his play is Backstrom, he turned the puck over and then failed to cover Seguin on the game winning goal.  Our top two line centers need to pick it up if the Caps are going to have any success.  Eller has probably been our best center in the last few games.

Agreed.  I like Brent as a general hockey dude and he usually has hockey intelligent things to say.  He just isn't very good at speaking.
Rob is a dweeb.  Always had the impression he was shining everyone on until he gets a real announcer gig somewhere.  Who knows.  I thought there was real tension between him and Alan May early on.  May has called him out a few times, and it seems they get along fine now.


Joe B is my favorite sports announcer anywhere and he calls an excellent game.  He actually calls the game well and keeps up with the play and so on.  I've always liked him and Locker together, but probably couldn't tolerate Locker without Joe B if he ever decided to move on.

Two guys that need to step it up - Kuzy and Oshie.  They are getting paid to put the puck in the net and need to stop all the fancy stick-handling and passing.  The only guys we have beside Ovi that really want to shoot the puck are Vrana and Eller.

When you're in situations like this (6 goals in 3 games) you get out of it by throwing rubber at the net.  Eller did that last night and scored.  Way too often we get in a great position to shoot and inexplicably try another pass.  (Yea, that's you Kuz and Burakovsky) Stop the cutesy stuff and shoot.  You'll find that pucks start going in. 

The PP is another issue.  Teams have figured out how to break up our entries by putting a picket fence of 4 guys on the blueline or in the neutral zone.  In that case you have to get it in deep and get in there and outwork your opponent.  Nobody is going to give you anything.  We simply aren't working hard enough on the PP.  The advice about shooting goes for the PP, too.  Get people in front and shoot the puck.

Agreed.  I like Brent as a general hockey dude and he usually has hockey intelligent things to say.  He just isn't very good at speaking.
Rob is a dweeb.  Always had the impression he was shining everyone on until he gets a real announcer gig somewhere.  Who knows.  I thought there was real tension between him and Alan May early on.  May has called him out a few times, and it seems they get along fine now.


Joe B is my favorite sports announcer anywhere and he calls an excellent game.  He actually calls the game well and keeps up with the play and so on.  I've always liked him and Locker together, but probably couldn't tolerate Locker without Joe B if he ever decided to move on.


I will say that Locker keeps things upbeat and positive.  That I DO like. He seems to be a pretty good natured guy, as well. I don’t know why he’s on this excessive Carlson love thing, lately, with a little more emphasis to it!


 The funny part is if you listen real closely,  you’ll never hear them talk about his defense SPECIFICALLY!!  They don’t dare! LOL

I agree with you that other teams seem to have figured out our PP by stopping zone entries in the first place. What I'm a bit surprised at is how our coaching staff haven't really made the necessary adjustments. We have all the talent in the world on PP1 but none of those guys can actually dump and battle to retrieve pucks.

Another guy that needs to pick up his play is Backstrom, he turned the puck over and then failed to cover Seguin on the game winning goal.  Our top two line centers need to pick it up if the Caps are going to have any success.  Eller has probably been our best center in the last few games.


Agreed 4Caps!
Backy, and Kuzy too.
Maybe it’s just me, but Kuzy seems to just be going through the motions somewhat! I’m not going to say he looks like he RESENTS playing, but maybe a notch less than that! Like he’s angry or something!


Maybe even add Oshie in there too.  He hasnt been that big of a disruption factor, like he normally is!
 These are some very talented names here. Hopefully they will get it back soon!

Rush - I liked "toss Carlson's salad" - good one!


Two guys that need to step it up - Kuzy and Oshie.  They are getting paid to put the puck in the net and need to stop all the fancy stick-handling and passing.  The only guys we have beside Ovi that really want to shoot the puck are Vrana and Eller.


LOL, Thanks Beags!
I mean...could they have kept the camera closeup on Carlson, any longer, while locker was REPEATEDLY mentioning that “finally” he was selected to the Allstars!


If that isn’t mixing in the “Buttermilk Ranch”, (🤣), than what the hell ever IS??
Good to hear from ya!

So if you order a four pack of stripers, and one of them they send is a midget, you should ask for a 15% discount for being shorted right?
