Too slow.  No pp.  Carlson giving it away repeatedly all night.  Only Sammy letting in softies and Lindgren standing on his head made this a game.  Very impressed with Lindgren.

the box score says Caps were 0 fer 5 on the pp, I don’t recall 5 but that’s 0 fer 9 on the season so far

Ooh Fah
FFS but Toronto made us look slow. Frigging PPPP is atrocious. Never seen a team have so much trouble clearing their own zone. Guys honestly looked spent in the third. Lindgren looked good and kept them in it in the first but honestly it felt inevitable the entire game. Toronto looked like they were just toying with us most of the night. Outclassed, out worked, out played all night.
We need a face off coach and a PP coach.
Protas and Fever looked great, as did Lindgrem. Carlson looks like he spent Way too much time with Mick’s thingy before the game. Ovie looked tired. Oshie falls down more than any player I’ve ever seen. Mantha looked slow and everyone looked out of sync like they never played with each other before. Sheary is a waste in 4th line. He hustles and gives them some speed but still seems a waste.
Eller has been invisible. Most of the team looked lost tonight.
On the bright side….(give me a minute….I’ll find something)….
Oh. Alexa is looking good  :hearts:







FFS - HIT HIM!!!

With a name like Forsythe, you’d think had have at least a hint of some foresight.

Oshie reminds me of Nicky last year. Slow as all fuck and maybe one shift a game you say "hey, that looked pretty good".. If Ovi didn't hit the crossbar I'd not of known he was playing. Kuzy about the same. Carlson? Oof. 


That PP is a joke. Like Alan said, it's the easiest PP in the league to prepare for. (or something along those lines)

Lindgren was the bright spot. Bummer Johansson scored. He'll probably get ice till New Years off that alone. Eller makes too much money to get benched by the "old school" coach. But he's checked out too. Shadow of what he was 2 years ago.

Lots of old, slow, or washed up money on this team.. Lots.. Buckle up!  :-\

I thought going in - this team could actually compete.  Now I'm wondering.  Maybe it's early yet, maybe it was early season back to back, but Toronto wiped the ice with us and it was never close.  We were chasing all night.  It was like watching some old worn out sloths trying to escape a bunch of angry hornets.  Lindgren is the only reason it wasn't a slaughter in the first 12 minutes.  The level of play between the two teams was just not in the same universe.
Carlson looks like he's actually nursing something, which I can't believe this early in the season.  He has been out of position and behind the play for two full games.  Strome and Brown are actually bright spots - as are Protus and last night Lindgren.  Jensen has looked good but he's right on the edge of trying to do too much and either making a play or being totally out of position and left hanging.  Fever is by far the best D man we have.  He skates well, can hang with the opponents skaters and hits people (like a defensemen)


Caps should petition instead of 2 minutes of PP time, they get to rest on the bench, suck oxygen, and get a ben gay rub down on the bench for the 2 minutes to rest these old fucks.  PK was pretty awful as well.  Toronto had us hemmed in for the entire PK (until they scored)


I know Kuemper is our #1 guy.  Curious as to who starts Saturday. 


The whole game it seemed like we were out of sync and guys had never played together before.  Maybe it was just one of those nights?


Go Caps

My primary concern is the lack of a meaningful power play. That’s a big carryover from last season, and the season before. Other than that, there’s only 80 games left to get up to speed, and maybe a slow start would be better than a hot one.
