Halfway thought the 1st. 0 shots on goal to 12 for the Senators! :)
-
Caps are lucky to finish the 1st tied, very lackluster
-
Yup. 20 minutes of survival. Hope they get their :poop: together for the last 40!
-
Lackluster, but it ain't all that. They talk like it's a blowout with 15 shots to 4 (or whatever) but Ottowa didn't have but maybe two good looks. Caps had the best two scoring chances even if they didn't register as shots.
Of course....I would certainly like to see the Caps pick it up.
Lackluster is pretty accurate.
I'll take the tie out of period one.
-
Peace out peeps. Heading home for the delayed version.

-
puck a duck
OT
-
fukin clown show on that attempt
-
Bozos.. basically stole a point.
See you Saturday at.. 4pm est. :huh: Alrighty then.
-
ho hum. I should have stayed in bed.
-
Kuzy could be a top 5 player in the league and could score 50+ if he ever was properly motivated. Instead, we get this garbage way too frequently.
-
This reminded me so much of games we lost earlier in the season. Way too much flat footed slow developing play, indecision with the puck that ended up in turnovers and way too much time in our own end. We didn't play physically enough either which you need against a speed team. I wouldn't be surprised if we go into a funk over the next few now.
Too much whirling dervish stuff from Kuz again. That has cost us games before.
-
Ooh-Fah
And a deserving finish
Only feel bad for Keumper. He played pretty well
Fuxking 2 on 0 in OT ::)

Too much whirling dervish stuff from Kuz again. That has cost us games before.
Drives me nuts. He is spending his whole career trying to make the spectacular passes. I think a lot of that is due to being on Ovi's team and wanting to pass to him when they are on the ice together. If Kuzy had been on a team with an aggressive coach from the beginning - a guy that would bench him if he passed instead of taking the shot - I really believe he would be a 40+ goal scorer every year.
