Springfield Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just got home...what is going on with the D? They've been trapping us in the zone for a bit. It hasn't been like this all game long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkFan8 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Just got home...what is going on with the D?Essentially same old same old, except the old is now a year older. Schultz/Hamrlik really look awful and Hillen is probably the smallest D I've ever seen.What's the deal with Orlov? Anyone have a timeframe?

Heisenberg Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Holtby has looked awful IMO and is lucky they haven't scored 5 goals or more since they've missed some wide open nets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heisenberg Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Ugh, Holtby is going to have to prove he can be a competent goaltender when he's not playing behind the Dale Hunter ridiculously conservative style. Also, lots of games to go but if they're only going to score 3 goals in a game where Joel Ward gives them 2 then I'm going to be concerned about the offense as well. I've had my concerns about the Caps going into this season but I'm hoping this is just a case of being a bit rusty. Hope Orlov comes back quickly.

HBnotBlades Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I don't think the goaltending was all that bad. The only goal I think Holtby should have had was the first one, after that there was a deflection goal, a screened goal in which he had no chance, and three goals where a forward got the puck on his stick directly in front of the crease. There were a lot of goals that Holtby played actually perfectly, but sometimes it just doesn't go your way. The defense... was not good. Far, far worse than the goaltending. Then again, they've only practiced for a few days and are completely changing systems. My expectations are definitely low for the first few games.

endzone_dave Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That game sucked. Ovi might as well have stayed in the KHL. Just one game though but they don't want to lose the next one and dig themselves a hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bibby Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I'll chalk this one up as rust due to the lockout. Actually, I'm probably going to give them another three games win or lose. But the entire team just didn't look good. Sloopy passes and line shifts. Goaltending and defense I'd just like to forget about. It is nice to see our guys shoot at the net though.

endzone_dave Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I thought Ovi was completely ineffective on the right side. Maybe he'll start looking with a few more games over there but this might be a short-lived experiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Not if they don't make it to the post season which was almost the case last year, I swear Hockey is the only sport where it is obvious people don't get it. I don't know any other sport with so many games where people talk about not making the playoffs after ONE FREAKING GAME. There can be no intelligent conversation about last nights game. We have a brand new coach and just came off a lengthened lockout. In the case of last year our team got better as the team learned hunters style of play. This team will too. As in EVERY year, we have a question mark at goalie and on our defensive make up. As for this year, we will be able to talk after 10 games.
