Warhead36 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I'll take a point on the road in the butt end of a back to back every time. I'd like to give the schedule makers a big F U. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems about right. Getting a point on on the road in a season opening back to back set is perfectly acceptable. Weren’t going 82-0 anyway. HA! I was going to post the same thing. The PP balance was exactly what we’ve come to expect. Oh well, can’t win them all. Hopefully they get back to playing some D. The offense is obviously clicking.

Schedule makers set us up for failure on this one. back to back to open the season with the second game being against the penguins. Looks like this team can score though.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I’m curious to find this out, has there ever been a team in the history of the NHL that has came closest to going 82-0? I guess to simplify that, what’s the least amount of losses a team has ever had in the NHL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redskin4ever Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The record is 8 losses by the 76-77 Canadiens. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NHL_records_(team) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoDeep81 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Good to see that the Pens haven't lost the ability to play nearly perfect hockey! 7-2 PP advantage, I'd give them a decent shot at beating the (who was it? The 76-77 Canadians?) record. ? Seriously though, giving up 7 goals is kinda embarrassing, back to back nights or not.. Glad we stole a point! I figured when we missed the net a couple times early, that it would come back on us. Especially against "them". The schedule is just stupid. Back to back to open the season, then 5 days off, then back to back again? And someone actually gets paid to create that mess.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticksboi05 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 The schedule to start the season is an embarrassment - they are supposed to be professionals. This was a designed loss essentially. Love the chemistry we're seeing so far from the lines - that's what a deep playoff run will do. Getting a point out of that was a win as far as I'm concerned and this team continues to be resilient. At 6-4 with 8 minutes left I had no doubt they could come back to tie it up and they did. Aside from the days where you wake up and it just isn't your day, this team will never be out of a game this season and that's all you can ask for. 12 hours ago, SkinsFanRob said: Looks like we may have a Budreau era team on our hands. Scores in bunches but cant stop the opposition lol They just had a shutout two nights ago. Three recent games at PPG Paints Arena have been 7-4, 8-7 and now 7-6. It's just a trend now.

zCommander Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I didn't get to watch the game last night but was listening to the game as I was running network cables for a client. I know we were up by a score or two at one point and that should have been enough to beat the Pens. Did Holtby just get scared of the big bad backyard bully? I think it should have been a home game and not an away game the very next day. It is not like they were traveling to Baltimore. It is a 4.5 hour drive. Could that have been a factor?

They were up by a goal after 1 period but not sure about "should have been enough"? The Penguins have some of the best offensive talent in the NHL. It was a shooutout that we lost to a team that hadn't just played the day before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max21 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Pretty classic pens caps game, I remember 2 years ago it was like 7-7 went into overtime and lost. I think we pulled Holtby that game, anyways I’ll take the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purbeast Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 If anyone has any interest, my sister and her husband are selling their season tickets for Wednesday against the Knights for face value, $65 each.

Kilmer17 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I played in a golf tournament this am and one of our opponents was a huge Wilson hater.

Hersh Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 The NHL does a terrible job with their schedule. Some teams are already playing their 4th game while a few teams don't play their 2nd game for another couple days. Hate these gaps in the Caps schedule.

DogofWar1 Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 That was some nice puck movement. And a great little delay by Kuzy, just threw the entire defense out of whack and opened that window for Ovie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
