Pffffffff.
we can whine about the 4 games in 5-6 days, plus ending with back to back games with travel, vs a team rested since Thursday, because that does really matter, but....
Carolina wiped the ice with us. We looked obviously fatigued, but it wasn't really a contest. They greatly outplayed us for 90% of the game.
Lindy looked great....the second half of the game, making some great saves, but honestly I want at least one of the 2 Orlov goals stopped...prob the 1st one. Giving THAT team a lead is a death sentence. Neither was a bad goal, but...you need those timely saves vs a great team if you want a chance of winning.
We can't continue to allow 3+ goals a game and expect to keep winning. Despite the run we've been on, I don't think we will average 4+ goals a game for the entire season so we need to tighten up on the goals against. Yesterday was different as Lindy was under siege for large portions of the game, but our goaltending has been not great for most of our season. It hasn't bit us because we've be on a scoring frenzy, but I seriously doubt that Ovie, Willy, Strome, Protus & McMike will ALL keep up the pace they've been on. (Caps please...prove me wrong)
Ho-hum. Caps were due for a let down. Hopefully they bounce back vs Nashville
