China Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Watching the Calgary - Colorado game the announcer says "McKinnon a series of quick bursts, skating, shooting...everything he does." My thought: His poor wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mournblade Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 * Caps were not in playoff mode yesterday. Carolina dominated the first half of the first period, and took advantage of Cap lapses in the third. Caps need to play a more complete game from now on. * Backstrom scoring two continued the trend from the 2018 playoffs: Caps getting scoring from unlikely sources. This needs to continue. * Carolina served notice: they are not going to be a speedbump. And we can forget scoreboard watching either. Whoever we face in the RD 2 is going to be tough, be it NYI or PITT. So lets concentrate on this series. * Vrana needs to be on the 2nd line, Hags on the 3rd. Enough dithering.

Kurd Cudins Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I agree. We looked very sloppy in the defensive zone and our overall play lacked the same “crispness” we played with last year. Last nights game showed me that we are more skilled then they are, and we can even get away with sub par play, but that runs out quick in the playoffs. Side note: Kuznetsov’s game is absolutely broken right now. I hope he’s dealing with an injury cause the alternative is mental. Broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did make that awesome pass to Backstrom in the first, but other than that, yeah, you're right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the thing. He still seems capable, but he is making terrible decisions. Often, holding the puck for WAY too long. His propensity to bring the puck out of the offensive zone, even though we are already set, is also quite frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yeah, we were rather soundly outplayed for most of the game last night. Carolina is young, fast and hungry...and they’re 0-5 against us this year. You know they’ve had just about enough of that. They’re gonna get a couple wins or die trying. Caps in 7.

I can't remember standing up for anything but the anthem and goal scores and the military tribute. I'm too old to stand up all game. Plus people behind would complain. Damn. It was getting raucous late and everyone started standing and I couldn't do it. Knees too shot. 11 hours ago, Popeman38 said: LET’S GO CAPS!!!!! Since I'm going to Game 2 I figured I might as well get the Greene Turtle cup then. I also heard some other bars were giving away Oshie shirts but you had to buy a pitcher of beer and I'm not doing that, especially when I'm flying solo. What am I going to do, buy a big pitcher of beer just for a shirt? I'm obsessed with memorabilia but not that obsessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can handle any team, on any night....if they want to. My hope is that they kind of took their time settling in and getting used to playoff hockey again. I'm confident.

c slag Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 It's really kinda amazing how all those years of the Capitals and Hurricanes sharing the same division, that the two teams never met in a playoff series before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it has something to with him being on the same line as Oshie and Hagelin. When Hagelin was first acquired, he was on the 4th line. Why is he now on the 2nd line? It seems strange.

skinsmarydu Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 As sick as I am, it was soooooo good to see that win...thought I was gonna completely fall out when Nicky got his second. Got nervous af at 3-2, but aaahhhh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 they were just talking about this on 980. I think Scott Linn is right that it wasn't a great performance. They will need to be better. But, they did win. Tampa and Pittsburgh both found ways to lose. So, there is plenty to work on before Game 2. The fans of course are fanatic and chant "back to back" after 1 game in the playoffs. The difference is last night when they gave up those 2 goals. We didn't feel like "here we go again" because worst can scenario isn't always going to happen. They got over the hump. They know they can beat anybody. They have a mix of Veterans/Youth and Experience. I don't know if I believe they'll repeat. But I don't feel as nervous anymore.

Cooleyfan1993 Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 @@SkinsGoldPants i agree, i wasnt feeling the “here we go again” thing either. I’d like to see what would happen the first time the caps get down by a goal in the playoffs this year though (that’s not to say i WANT that to happen though!!!)
