Caps lose 2-1

The lines are based on the coaches comments after this mornings practice.
-
Eller gonna have his hands full if they need to play D.

Morning. :wackysmile:

Morning. :wackysmile:
did you read the boredom thread yet?

PP time

did you read the boredom thread yet?
Yep. Huge relief. I don't understand how McBain got away scott free, no review by the powers that be, not even a penalty called on a deliberate attemp to injure. If that had been Willy, he'd have been lucky to still have a career. >:(

:banana:
-
GOOOAAALLLL
DUBOIS
-
Caps up 1-0 after one
-
Steady first. We know all our guys can score.
-
PLD!! That's who we need to heat up here for the next month..
-
Caps were %80 at the faceoff dot in the 1st
8-0
-
We're doing okay so far, but I'm finding it hard work tonight. :yawn:
-
This is really not helping.
-
:poop:
:clown: :O=
-
Good Lord. Back to the chip n chase again. Fucking idiots. :stupid: :suicide:
-
game tied 1-1 after two
-
Their forecheck is killing us, slowly but surely. :-\
-
Thank God that periods over.
We seem a tad lacklustre tonight.
-
We're getting lots of chances, they all just seem a little half=arsed.
-
:O= :O=
:clown: :poop:
-
Serves us right. We need to stop fannying about and start playing.
-
:clown: :poop:
We have zero going on.. :(
-
Man I hate losing to that idiot Torts.
-
We've shown so much fire power this season so far, how is it that none of our boys can find the twine? They can't all be on an off day at the same time.
-
nother pp . .
-
not good when you ice the puck on the PP
-
Not good on any level tonight. We had every capability of winning this game. Very disappointing.
-
Uh oh. Empty net.....
-
Womp womp.. Go cold on the 1st night without Ovi. Hopefully they're resilient.
Saturday at 7pm
-
crap
-
That was ordinary. nobody stepped up.
Night all. :yawn:
-
Caps finished the game at an unusual %65.5 at the faceoff dot, I suppose something else had to go
-
Steady first. We know all our guys can score.
Jinx :raised-eyebrow:

Caps were invisible for most of the 2nd. The penalty on McMike was a joke, but we were reeling anyway and it looked, felt inevitable. It was only a matter of time till they scored - we were trapped in our zone for LONG stretches, way too often
Caps had like 3 shots over a 25 minute period in the second to third.
Caps missed on 3 break aways and hit some posts. Caps turned it on last 10 minutes to no avail.
Dubois looked good, but he's been solid most of the year. Like Mick said...would be great if he starting finding the twine in Ovi's absence.
Oh, and I think this was LT's first regulation loss as a Cap. He was solid, made at least a couple game savers in that game.
I think we need to score more than 1 to have success.
