pjfootballer Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I was out last night, but the game was on one of the many TVs at Hickory Tavern. We went to listen to a band. Kept my eye on the game, but looks like I didn’t miss much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Springfield Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Niskinen almost costing them a goal with that **** clear. Orpik fairly gets guan faie share of ****, but the rest of the defense sure makes a bunch of mistakes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoDeep81 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 PK is awful. Carlson needs to clean that guys clock, but instead drifts away, letting him have 3 wacks at the puck.. smh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Figured trading goals would eventually bite em'.. Speed kills the Caps. Gruby was shaky too, but they just got outplayed. How many shots did we have in the 3rd? 3 or 4 maybe? Not good enough on any end of the ice.. And the odd 3 goal game w/o earning a point. 2 in a row actually.. Leading the metro while still sniffing an early tee time come the playoffs! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH This is not some ordinary expansion team. The NHL will definitely be modifying how it’s done in the future. Of course it doesn’t help when the Caps hand them a really solid defenseman.

Nate looked good out there today, I was hoping Bowey would step up more in his absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Caps missed chances today too but I can’t help but still be annoyed the Caps gave up Schmidt. Even if they took Niskanen or Orlov or Carlson, that would have been fine. Just don’t give up a young up and coming speed defenseman. BTW, I do think it was actually goalie interference on the last goal. I’m not upset by them ruling it a good goal but the contact definitely seemed to prevent him from having balance to reach his glove out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c slag Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I believe they wanted Las Vegas to be an instant contender from season one they got what they wanted Still stings loosing the super bowl game one the Capitals usually play well in and win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC9 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Frustrating run of play for the Caps. Ted punted on the year, we put all of our ammo into winning the last two years and one team in the league did it better and they won both times. We seem content with Trotz, who is out of ideas. But one thing gave me a glimmer of hope today - and that was Joe B was VERY negative on the team in the post gamer. Usually when he's had it the coach gets it soon. At least from what I've noticed. No one wanted Trotz to be coach here more than me. I begged for him for two years before we got him. You know what? It didn't work. Hire Sutter. It probably won't work either. But he's won a cup. It'll change the teams dynamic up. And you will be able to say that you gave it a good go for Ovi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just that he thought the Caps were in control the whole game and never thought they'd lose. He said that he was disappointed in how they essentially gave up after Backstrom's goal because they didn't have a shot for like 10 minutes after that and that it was reoccurring. Usually Joe B is very subtle about his complaining, but when he says that it's bad. He would usually take the Locker approach and just credit the other team or the "hot goalie" or the "unlucky bounces," but today he was pissed. He even brought up that Vegas has played 3 games in the last 3 and a half days and that they were dropping the puck at 930 am Vegas time and the Caps should've jumped them.

If they see a similar playoff fate, hopefully they change it up. Never know with Ted at the helm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they see a similar playoff fate, hopefully they change it up. Never know with Ted at the helm. Yeah I don't think they do either. But they should try. And I would do it now. We're about to slip down the standings in the next couple of weeks. The only way I keep Trotz around is if he's good at player development. Seeing how he shuffles the kids in and out of the line up and up and down the lines I'm not sure how anyone could make that argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Things I want this offseason: 1) no more 44 2) no more 74 3) trade 31 for a pick I officially hate Vegas. For taking 88 and because they are too good for an expansion team. I hope they get b****-slapped in the playoffs. 3 hours ago, Hersh said: Caps missed chances today too but I can’t help but still be annoyed the Caps gave up Schmidt.

Orpik and his slow feet and huge salary need to go. Replace with a youngster. Carlson is a bit harder because he does run the PP on the point. I'm not sure exactly who would be available, but I think someone mentioned Mike Green being a possibility of coming back (not sure if it would be possible as I don't get into contract stuff in the NHL). But then Green would be about the same as Carlson on defense. Orlov would have the skill to run the PP, but he's even worse on defense then Carlson. We'd give up so many SHGs if Orlov ran the PP. I just tire watching us give up odd man rushes and guys wide open all the time. They need to shake up the blue line. Guess I was just frustrated with the game a bit and losing yet again to Vegas. They are too good for an expansion team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springfield Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I think Carlson is fine. Get rid of Orpik and replace him with a faster D man. I’m all for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
