Say it with me... "Sam-so-nov" !! WTF are they waiting for? Holby just isn't capable of being sharp a full 60 minutes, at the moment.. I mean are they worried about hurt feelings? I don't get it.  Need to look for a deadline replacement for Jensen as well..

Holtby should be

For the rest of this game!

Good lord!  What's happened to this team?

Can we stop fucking thinking of Holtby as a starting goalie. Seriously. Fans, coaching staff, everyone. Stop thinking he's the incumbent starter just because he has a Vezina and a Cup. Start with a clean slate, let the two goalies earn their starts. And right now it's Sammy who's earned it.

Not saying this is 100% Holtby's fault. But a supposed Vezina/Cup winner shouldn't be letting up 3 goals on ~15 shots. He's paid enough to be well above .900. He's paid to keep us in games when we're sucking. He's paid to steal games on occasion. He's done NONE of that.


What I'm afraid of is I'm sure there's gunna be some double standard. Holts has a bad game and TR gives him a chance to redeem himself. Two bad games in a row and maybe another chance to redeem himself before looking at Sammy.


If Sammy has a bad game, I feel like TR would send him back to Hershey...

It was bound to come soon.  The Capitals look awful!

[Surreylily]

Aha!  I'm about 20 seconds or so behind, I think.  .

Our play along the boards has been very weak

Glad they had a strong start the 1st half of the season, cause this last month or so has been "let's go golfing in April" style..

The entire team looks like crap.  There is an attitude problem or something. Why can't they arrive at the game motivated?  Why does it seem they need some switch flipped at some point during game to get going?

[alta]

if Willy had done that it would be a penalty

[DC_1908]

We got two games goin at The Club
1.  Holtby has flat out given up and/or quit on this organization, and I can’t blame him
2.  LETS GO RAVENS!!!

The tin foil hat in me wonders if the team doesn't have faith in Holts. You know how teams play piss poor "on purpose" sometimes when they have a shit coach, and then suddenly start putting together wins with a new less experienced coach?


You wonder why we win when Sammy starts and struggle when Holtby starts...

switch goalies

Sammy should be the starter going forward. Just like we did years ago with Gruby.
