Hope Ted is happy with the money he saved on not signing Trotz. Now who is so god damn smart?


Exactly.  You can't replace the 4th winningest coach in NHL history with a bag of potatoes.

They wanted it more.  That was obvious.  Canes fought harder.

I was pretty sure we were toast about 5 minutes into first overtime. Did not even really watch the second one. Was watching The Orville with my Dad with a glance occasionally at the game playing silently on my tablet.  We really did not seem to give a fuck.

Caps have played in 48 series and have never swept all their home games.  We kept that intact tonight.




Justin Williams is 8-1 in Games 7's.  The one loss was with the Caps.  What a surprise.

Shot their wad in the first period and when it was only 2-0 it was clear we were in trouble.  Then you compound that by giving it a lot the first 10 of the second and all you have to show for it is giving up a shortie.  That is gonna fuck you every time.  Vrana was worthless -- fitting he hit the post when he could have won the game.  Niskanen and Orlov were fighting to see who could cough the puck up more.  Just flat out ugly and embarrassing way to end the season.

Well that sucked. Caps just looked old and tired in OT.
Should have....could have...would have...
That’s why you don’t want game 7....and overtime in a game 7


This game is on the whole team but Holtby let in Two softies. Can’t do that in a game 7.
Caps really did look gassed in OT
Can’t believe how much trouble we have clearing the puck. Had that problem all year and got worse when Kempney got hurt.


Trots is probably disappointed he’s not going to get to embarrass us.
Give up (2) 2 goal leads  :raised-eyebrow:
Got what they deserved. Canes outworked them. Caps looked tired and out of sync after 2 period. How many ducking times did we ice the puck?

What a disappointment,especially after leading in this series 3-2 against huge underdog and having great chances to repeat a last season success when TB,pens,VGK were eliminated ..
No excuse for this awful loss , Rierdon must be fired as soon as possible!

You guy are hilarious. Yes, it sucks, but they tarnished the cup? They are fat and happy? Give me a break. They lost...... It happens to every team, but one every year. We lost Kemp before the playoffs started and Oshie during them. Should they have still overcome? Yes, with their talent they should have, but they didn't. They have some issues to address in the off-season and hopefully they do and come back stronger next year.


I guess VGK are garbage too?

Talent yes, but we don’t have the strength or work ethic. Canes played us tighter and tougher than any team we played last year, and the majority of the team could not match, let alone defeat that.  Hell up 2-0 in the first in a game 7, and they let the momentum get absolutely flipped on them.


Sure, Holtby May have wanted one or two back, but has usual, there where about 10 that most goalies would of let in. . . Not like Fluery who had one of his mental break-downs and allowed 4 after a questionable major penalty to loose a game 7

You make reasonable points,  but You honestly believe that most goalies in the NHL would have allowed 10+ goals that Holtby didn't?


Also, my post was more directed at the "players don't care since they won last year" and "the cup win is tainted now"... .. Really? I mean really? That's just pure overreaction due to being upset they lost.

There abouts/sarcastic exaggeration.  My point was/continues that due to mess of D, lack of defensive
 forwards, and pond hockey system, Holtby has to do way more than other goalies in the league.  This results in generally making several “highlight reel” saves a game look routine, and any “softies” look worse.


As for players/out in the first round, everyone has a point. but it can be summed up with: over confidence.   Everyone, including myself, thought we had this series before the
puck dropped in Game 1, and when we went up 2-0 in Game 7.  Yet, the Canes proved us wrong.


Ironically enough, this was assuredly how The Hens and TBL felt last year.

I do NOT believe that the "Players do not care".  I am sure they are more devastated they we are.  I don't see any tarnish of the Cup or fat and happy players.  However, we should have won this series.  Caps simply did not put forth the effort they did last year (and not that I think that is possible ALL the time).  I don't think it was intent or lack of desire, just didn't/couldn't muster the effort needed to win.  Maybe it's purely fatigue, maybe coaching, maybe just the couple key guys lost.  Lots of little chances here and there where games or series are decided.  Last year the effort/hunger was more evident and we overcame (or got the luck) to make the difference multiple times.  How many times were we "almost" eliminated last year?  How many OT games did we win that could have gone the other way? How many game saving saves were made, and lucky bounces went our way?  How many different guys (who normally do not), made a HUGE difference last year?  The Caps were magical in the playoffs last year.  For the most part, that was missing this year.  If Kuzy had been 10% better and Vranna had scored only ONE goal, then.....If only....BUT....blah, blah, blah.


Last night we had a few chances in OT to win it.  Wilson "almost" put one in, but it was swept away.  Vranna hit the post, etc.  I hated the whole OT, because I felt it was inevitable that the Canes would eventually score.  I just hoped we would get a bounce and score first.  Maybe that's just years of Cap fandom bias, but I just didn't feel we had it last night or this year.  The Canes outworked us in OT.  The Caps looked like they were just hanging on....like they were playing for a tie.  They simply looked gassed, like they had nothing left...and maybe that was simply true.  I kept thinking that MAYBE we'd get a bounce, but if we won, how tired and spent we would be for a game Friday, and what a miserable showing that would be.


Caps spent SO much time in our own zone not being able to clear the puck.  So many icing calls.  They just couldn't get it together.  Canes got some bounces and took advantage.  They wore us down and kept playing and playing and playing, and eventually the puck went in for them.  Congrats to the Canes, long time coming for them.


Disappointing for and disappointed in the Caps, but also not surprised.  I have never felt like we "had it" this year.  Too many little weaknesses to overcome for the grand prize.  Kempney was catostrophic, Oshie was probably the last nail in the coffin.  New head coach was definitely a question mark.  I was not /am not bitter, just a somewhat realistic.  Maybe it hurts less this year cause I felt it coming or maybe cause we did win the ultimate prize last year.  The Caps used up all their stores of lucky bounces and hockey Gods debt last year.  They had the magic last year.


Better luck next year (how long have we been saying that as Cap fans  :-\ )


Oh, and ...they changed the chant last night after the game....from "Back to Back" to "Back to Golf"
