great PK :)
For some reason Hagelin was cheating to Ristoleinen and left the middle wide open.

Is this some sort of silent protest or something?
Silent protest of TR being a shit coach.

IMO this is mostly on the players for lack of execution and lack of effort.

Anyone else's audio broadcast peculiar?
The commentary is low, ambiance is high...
6 hits against a team that's lost 6 straight. How fucking pathetic is that? If they can't get up to play then WHY THE FUCK SHOULD WE WATCH?That’s what I said. . . This team is flatter than Daisy Ridley
6 hits against a team that's lost 6 straight. How fucking pathetic is that? If they can't get up to play then WHY THE FUCK SHOULD WE WATCH?My wife hit me more than that during the first 2 periods.
Zero chance we win playing like this. Orlov MUST be sick -- he looks horrid. Kempny IS horrid. Backstrom looks like he desperately wants to avoid all contact -- which is Vrana every night. Horrible from top to bottom. I can't believe this is the same team from Saturday. It's a fucking embarrassment.
Anyone else's audio broadcast peculiar?Not really. Maybe the ambience is a little louder than usual.

Mine's good. 3rd link down........ ;)
Not so sure that's a blessing tonight.......... :-|
"Kuznetzov wanders back"...
Been a liiittle.... a LOT too much "wandering" if you ask me. >:(
wanders/wonders...
difficult to tell......

Bunch of these are in the Caps Gatorade bottles.

74 -- 714
That "non-goal" was set up by another failed clear. Our D do not do a good job getting the puck out.

I was about to blame that on 74 going down too early
I think you're the only person here who is takng this game seriously. :wackysmile:
Fans are stupid. Clearly the right call. I'd say the same if the tables were turned.I've seen worse let go.

So that's either 3 or 4-1 on the PP differential again tonight. Funny these teams can play us so clean. :huh:

Kovalchuk goes out 2nd? I don't understand the fascination with him..

I’d take Kovi at this point of his career over jagr
Why didn't they... WE go with Eler?

Why didn't they... WE go with Eler?Eller? Not really his strength. I think the biggest problem was that Kuzy wasn't one of first 3 shooters. He is probably our 2nd best on the shootout but he was only our 4th shooter.
Panik, let's not shoot on the ice at the five hole, better to shoot right to the lower foot pad. ::)

I don't think Eller is a better option.
Like Lil said, Eller should of been out before Panik. Or Kovalchuk for that matter..
I don't think we should be throwing Panik under the bus for not scoring on a shootout.I don't blame him for not scoring. I blame him for a really stupid shot placement. But you are right in that we should NEVER have been in a shootout against this team.
Fuck you Carlin. It was NOT anywhere near a great comeback. Caps GAVE this game away. :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O= :O=
We didn't DESERVE 2 points but since we were there we should have put out our best group. What a fucking tool we have pulling the strings. Dumb as a bag of fucking rocks. He really sucks as a coach.
I don't blame him for not scoring. I blame him for a really stupid shot placement. But you are right in that we should NEVER have been in a shootout against this team.The Caps should be embarrassed with the poor effort. They pushed hard for about 10 minutes in the 3rd. They totally sucked for the other 55 minutes.
My top 3 order would be Oshie, Kuzy and Backstrom.
That's a Reirden special.. Nobody has to earn anything on this team. He used to be good, so he gets the nod!

I like Ristolainen's game. Why can't we get a dman like that?
Well Kuzy was our 2nd shooter before Kovalchuk got here. Today he was our 4th shooter and only goalscorer. He career precentage on shootouts is 40% which is pretty good.
Not terribly sure I'd go with Kuzy at all...............
Certainly not in the first 5.
In a shootout, the hot stickk has to take prcedemce.
I demand mandatory drug testing on the Caps. :uh-huh:
Nope. I didn't forget. I just chose to realign my time cintingency thingammy. Much like you lot did, when you realigned your time zine.... without being so king=d as to inform me. :raspberry: :raspberry: :raspberry: :raspberry: :raspberry:The truth for me is I had no idea the time changed here until you mentioned it. 95% of my clocks automatically switch and I had not heard it mentioned until you said something. It makes it even more amazing that Sunday morning I woke up at 3:40am.
Bugger.
If Kovalchuk was going to score tonight he'd have done it on the 10 chances he couldn't pot in regulation. I hated the pick up when we did it and I still hate it.If he is getting good chances this is a very good thing, he is moving right, he is getting into right positions. In this case at some point he'll break through. He can strike a gold for Caps, or silver. At this shootouts, only Kuzya has scored, so let's distribute the blame.

I think we just like to give Coach Rearend a hard time about everything cause we are sour on him. I be willing to venture he knows more about the mindset and skill set of his players than we do.
last season I would've given Coach Rearend a pass, but after almost two full seasons of watching this unmotivated squad I don't think he's got what it takes to be a head coach, yet.
I agree. Kovi has looked better the last few games. He still has decent wheels and good size. He has been more physical than I expected too. He's had some glorious chances that did not go, but he was in position to make those chances. Hopefully it breaks for him soon and he becomes a solid asset
Honestly I think that's why TR put him out for shootout. If he scores, puts him (Kovi) in good light with team and boosts his confidence. Same with Panik....he HAS been much better lately so maybe give him a shot...but I agree with ALTA on the Panik choice - deserving or not, it's just not his skill set.

Before we all collectively jump off a bridge at last night's game, let's remember that a couple of weeks ago the Pens lost to the Sabres 5-2 in their own building.They’re comfortable.
They did come back to beat the Sabres in Buffalo last week. But it shows that all teams have their downers.
Did the Caps look bad last night? Absolutely. What I think we don't take into account is that all teams have games where they just don't get going. And a lot of them have more than the Caps do. Now a lot of people around here seem to think that the Caps have more talent than anyone else, and it's just their lack of motivation that keeps them from running completely roughshod over the league. I don't buy that. The Caps' core, while good, is aging, and for the past decade they have been drafting mostly toward the bottom of the league because of their success, so other teams have been getting the primo talent. I'd say the Caps are in the upper echelon of the league with respect to talent, except on the blue line, but head and shoulders above everybody??? Nah, I don't think so. So if the Caps ARE in the upper echelon of the league talent-wise and not spread-eagling the field, then their record has them right where their talent level says they should be, no more, no less. Or to look at it another way: If the Caps commitment is so much more terrible than other teams' so that it is dragging them down relative to other teams, then the fact that they are in the upper echelon of the league says that they are OVERPERFORMING relative to how they are approaching the season. What would cause that?? A season of luck? Superb coaching? The refs favoring the Caps over other teams? The Caps having fewer injuries than other teams? Maybe we need to thank a best-in-the-league training and medical staff? What, exactly?
Anything to generate a spark, break comfort-zones and confuse the opponents.
Yea, Caps are unmotivated.. They may not have the -best- talent in the league, but they've got more than a bunch of these teams that are just out playing them.
The whole organization is allergic to that stuff.. Kempny should be watching a few games. They treating him like he's their #1 goalie or something. :rofl:
Who knows why they won't try some actual mixed up lines. Afraid they'll play bad and drop a point I guess.. Or hurt someones feels. lolEven I don't get that.... :snicker:
