NoVaSkins21 Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Team needs to regroup and come out focussed on Saturday. The problem is that home ice has been no advantage for them this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can feed off the crowd a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86 Snyder Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Tonight is disappointing and feels like they wasted what started out as a good effort BUT anyone would have taken a split of the first two games. Lets get one at home and have a series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more about the way this game has been going to be honest. If this was a tight game and they take the L then whatever. But this game is kind of a disaster and just reminiscent of the inconsistent goal tending and defense this team has shown all season. It just reminds me not to get my hopes up after a single win in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I think it’s easier for the boys to throw this game in the trash the way it went rather than a 3-2 OT loss for example. I think Florida got a lucky break to start and things just went their way but Caps showed in the first 15 minutes tonight and also Game 1 they are at least *capable* of sticking with the Panthers. Will they?? I have no idea. Probably not tbh, but this is already much more than the chance I gave them heading into the series. It’s weird, I think the Caps lack a little confidence and need to remember how to win. It’s a big ask to do it against Florida but if they could somehow get over this hurdle, who knows, they could definitely build on the momentum. Hockey is unlike any other sport when it comes to that. Im just thrilled we got one in the bag because I’m going to the next 2 games and now they’re both guaranteed to matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 Snyder Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 Also, don’t discount the fact Sammy was able to get on the ice and get a feel for playoff hockey again. He’s played well and maybe he gains some confidence from it…you know he’ll be between the pipes at some point this series. For a guy who hasn’t exactly been clutch, maybe a low pressure opportunity is helpful. Never hurts to have a warmup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 VV or Sammy on Saturday? The coaches might feel VV still can do it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain James Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Mind blowing how they started the game controlling and kinda dominating again, and then it just fell completely apart seemingly out of nowhere. Frustrating. What the eff happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinsmarydu Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Ms. Kitty is in the rocking chair next to mine and is totally mesmerized by this Bruins/Canes game. I'd start filming, but she'd get distracted by the light, I think. Sabrina tries to climb the TV screen chasing the puck. Crazy cats love hockey.

China Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 What?! Having better play and better goaltending will win you games? What insightful analysis! Next you'll yell me that the team that scores the most goals will win. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) This Caps team has shown that they can beat any team anywhere, but their biggest weakness is at goaltender. Too much inconsistency and it probably should've been addressed at the trade deadline. Having a stable goalie can make all the difference as this team has seen in the past with Holtby for years. Here's hoping the change to Samsonov works out, but I have my doubts. This is something that will need to be addressed in a big way going forward beyond the postseason.

Next you'll yell me that the team that scores the most goals will win. You're foolishly simplifying it. OBVIOUSLY the team that scores the most goals AND gives up the least amount always wins. Hockey is a complicated sport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
