Deja vu all over again. This game was virtually a replay of the Ottawa game.
The Caps don't seem to be built very well for the 3 on 3 overtime game. But of course, that doesn't exist in the playoffs.
Yea, coaches 4x4 and 3x3 lineups are odd. We always put Carlson out, like it's some kind of seniority privilege? Last night I think McMike just got beat to the slot in OT, but during the game 4x4, Carlsons out. Start of OT, Carlson's out. Just seems like we're taking a bullet out of the gun before the fight even starts. He's slooooow and his offensive skills aren't what they used to be either. If it's a responsibility thing, Fever runs rings around him. Skills, Chicky is the guy. I'd trust Sandin too. I mean if you never try it you'll never know. He rarely puts Ovi out, due to how slow he is, not sure what the hold up is with Carlson.
We may be able to avoid some of that if we played 60 minutes. Last couple we didn't even warm up till the 2nd or 3rd period.
