This was a bad game by both teams. Looked like hockey from the 80s.

What a fucking embarrassing effort.  This team never ceases to amaze me with the way they can regress when they want to.  If they played 1/10 of the disciplined hockey they played in Game 6 against Pittsburgh or games 1, 2, 6 and 7 against TB they walk away with this one.  But, instead they come out and look like they have never played organized hockey before.  Guys running around clueless, chasing pucks, unable to clear pucks, unable to do the simplest of things.  Need to get their heads out of their asses and understand Vegas WANTS to play helter-skelter.  So, you don't play that way, you frustrate them.  Instead we played RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS.  We need to see better from Trotz and the brain trust.

This team isn’t as invincible as the experts say.   We were in it on the road in game 1.  We’re OK.

The Caps play better on the road. But yes, VK a quite mortal. Refs ignored many calls against them. At the same time many plays especially D were bad.

I say we take the next 4 games. This team is not all that.  One goal game and we have refs against us and we sucked.

Agree,if not a crap play in defense and huge luck on their side,we definitely have excellent chances to win series!

Wow   This is gonna get interesting

Your post is fucking hilarious.

[apace41]

This isn't going to be a series folks. Vegas is just that good.

Please tell me you are fucking kidding me.  They are NOT at all that good.  The Caps played like a bunch of horses asses tonight and it was still a one goal game in the last minute.  If we play even decent hockey we win that game.  I don't know what team you were watching but Vegas is full of holes.

[Surreylily]

Our boys have nobody to blame but themselves.  We didn't play hard enough and all the ticky-tack passing was ridiculous.


All credit to Vegas.  They outplayed us for the most part of the game and it was sheer hard work and complete brain farts on our part    [size=78%]that gave them the game.[/size]


Oh well.


Must try harder.

Ovi and some other players has to come up sh*t....
They have been playing hockey all year long for that, and coming up short on this game is absolutely trash ...
THIS IS IT,  ITS PLAYOFF HOCKEY , let'S go damn. 
Good night


Can't believe how INVISIBLE Ovechkin was tonight...

Totally agree. Sloppy ice, sloppy game.the Caps will take this series, unless they continue the stupid mistakes.

Yeah, 13-3 in the playoffs. They aren't that good.

[waynerivers]

Not nearly enough forecheck by Caps.  Too loose in our own end.  Holtby too skittish on a couple goals.  We might have lost tonight anyway but how the hell does somebody miss a blatant crosscheck in front of the net that leads to a goal?  That was pathetic.  Somebody needs to take a two hander to Reaves' ankles. One game and I already can't stand that oaf.  Eller sucked tonight too, not just on the missed empty netter.  Ovie didn't really show up, either.  This team is beatable.  If we'd gotten up by 2 at any point, they'd have gone into panic mode.  Between some of the dirtball plays and that opening chintzy shit show, I really want to beat these mothers badly now.

[apace41]

It's hard to imagine the Caps didn't learn from the TB series what works and what doesn't.  They need to play structured hockey and clog the neutral zone.  Need to get pucks in deep and work the boards against a pretty average D corp of Vegas.  They need to be sharp and tape to tape getting pucks out of their zones as Vegas pushes 5 in to forecheck.  Play simple hockey and don't try to do too much and they will be fine.  All the fancy ass shit doesn't work against a team playing north/south hockey.  Just plain fucking stupid.

[apace41]

Yeah, 13-3 in the playoffs. They aren't that good.

You think everyone who plays the Caps is just fucking fantastic.  Tell me what you saw tonight that blew you away.  A lot of those 13 wins were due solely to Fleury and he was very pedestrian tonight.  You go root for your fucking Vegas Knights.  Congrats to you for choosing them over the Caps.

Have you not been paying attention to KitFisto throughout these playoffs. His gut is always wrong. He is predicting all bad news for us because it has been good for us.  Don't take it seriously.

ETA
He's sticking with what works.

[OldHat]

All you manic fucks shitting on yourselves...  it's one fucking game.  And if the Caps had won you'd be swearing it would be a sweep.  Vegas could sweep, Caps could win 4 straight - or anything in between.

They score when they feel like it. Caps have absolutely no answer to stop them. Go ahead and live in fantasy land thinking they might win.

All you Milbury and NBC haters, Milbury is irate about both the non-call on Reeves and the delayed call on Wilson.
