ixcuincle Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Well it was a blowout at 8 so maybe he switched to Lost then. Sad, sad game here and sad effort but we have a bright future and I really think the guys from Hershey can help next year. And as chip said, get some D off the FA market too. We were on the cusp of the ECF this year and flopped. SCORE OVECHKIN Anyways as I was saying, we were on the cusp of the ECF this year. We are taking baby steps towards a potential EC championship. If the right moves are made during the offseason watch out man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titaw Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 you know the finale started at 8, right? If you count the clip show, then yeah, but the real deal starts @ 9. Besides the game was over by 7:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Number one priority this offseason is getting a defense. Get rid of Brash, get rid of Jurcina, even Poti. Revamp the D. They're slow and not physical at all. Very uninspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted May 14, 2009 Author Share Posted May 14, 2009 I blame the refs. This series shouldn't have even come to this game. I guess it wasn't enough to play against the Penguins. We had to play the referees as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Is anyone really surprised? The Pens outplayed us in every game, but Varly kept us in it. Tonight he couldn't. What a ****ty way to end the season. Washington D.C.....continuing to be a laughing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 Keep Brash. He's a marked man by the league. He can't play worth a darn, all he's good for is sending a message and fighting. Get some badass HOCKEY players, not a boxer with a hockey stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with him hear SS , but he is the only cap that can clear someone from out of the front of the net, no one else can, sadly :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on the penalty kill for a third of the game and see if the other team shoots 40+ times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're slow and not physical at all. Very uninspiring. No question the defense has to be addressed. The Penguins flat out exposed the Caps D. Too many breakaways, as well as not being able to get the puck out of their own zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get some badass HOCKEY players, not a boxer with a hockey stick. He may be a marked man but he can break and orbital when we need him to. I'll take that any day of the week. I'd love Crosby to break and orbital right about now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refs have done us no favors, but it is CLEAR who played better. You can blame the refs, or you can call it like it is. REALLY bad defense and uninspired offense, with key players not stepping up at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoVaSkins21 Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I feel sorry for Ted Leonsis, the owner and McPhee, the GM. Those two have been very patient in building this team. Sucks that it has to end like this for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REALLY bad defense and uninspired offense, with key players not stepping up at all. I'll call it like I see it. You don't call bogus penalties in overtime. To be honest, we shouldn't even be playing this game right now. It's clear who played better? Are you serious? You're kidding right? This has been about an even series as they get. There is no way in hell that the Penguins played clearly better than us. Did we just get lucky on all of those goals that we scored? This is the first time either team has had more than a two goal lead on either side. The Penguins DID NOT play any better than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pez Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 I just wanna know why the caps are so opposite of the pens who always hustle to the puck and are so aggressive with other teams who have the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
