I was a little surprised at all the negative comments about our play. We did look a little sluggish at times, but we had the better scoring chances I thought overall.
If you take out the BS NHL Rangers bias and get rid of a couple penalties (and call the interference to Orlov that resulted in a ranger goal)...then I think we outplayed them.
Ovie rang the iron, otherwise would have a Hattie - and we had some bad puck luck.
good news is Holtby looked sharp. We were off somewhat, but not as horrible as I would think reviewing the board comments.
And oh yeah - Maako, you is seriously a Carlson lover. I mean Carlson has grown on me over the last 3 years and he had a great year last year an is playing really well so far this year....but Jesus, Man...have some restraint in your man-love for ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING related to Carlson. You can't even control yourself and NOT comment EVERY TIME he does something. (and you also have a little hatred anti-vibe against Niskanen and Orlov (and any Caps D not #74) - You are always berating their play) Ragging on them does not make Carlson look better to the rest of us. Maybe you don't notice, but it is very apparent.
