Went up to dinner when it was 4-1. Came down to the tv again, and see it’s 7-1. What the **** caps.....

 

Horrendous defense and turnovers and penalties. No chance for Holtby on at least 6 of the goals.

Save percentage...

 

Samsonov 9th .923

Holtby 49th .897

 

We know our defense isn’t great and we can repeat “can’t blame that on Holtby” like a broken record until we’re blue in the face.

 

But the numbers don’t lie.  Holtby is an anchor and the only thing lower than his self-confidence is the confidence of his teammates in him.  

 

Dead man walking...until further notice.

Well it makes it easy for the Caps to not resign him, somewhat of a blessing in disguise. Not much Cap room to go around anyways, hopefully he rebounds with another club. It’ll be tough to see Holtbeast go after all these years watching him.

Holtby has been bad, but did you see the game tonight? The Gudas turnover then gets beat in his own zone, Kempney to Kuzy turns into two Flyers right in front of Holtby. I want Samsonov starting, but the Caps have to fix the D or eventually it will burn them in the playoffs.

The team won’t play for him and Holtby can’t buy a big save.  It’s like RG3 v Kirk circa 2014.

 

Everybody knows...

I do agree with Holtby can't buy a big save, but the team won't play for him is not it at all. It's flat out bad defense. Samsonov has just played awesome even with not very good defense in front of him. He's just a better goalie right now.

Oof. Closed door meeting after the game. 🙄

 

Good. Lay into that sorry ass defense. No excuse for the lack of execution and effort out there.
