Moose was screened by guess who... The guy was on both knees, in the crease for crying out loud, when OVi is around the dot.

His strong point was the PK. I don't know what to say anymore.a

Again.

On a ****ing PK, Volchenkov can't be standing right next to Ovechkin.

He has to stay in the lane and protect the front of the net as well, if anything blame the Devils for not closing up that option. It's not Volchenkov's fault when the best players in the world make a nice saucer pass over his stick to Ovechkin who is one of the best shooters in the world.

The forward on the weak side of the play should've helped close the gap, and we failed to do that. It's a joint effort on the PK to shut down guys like that, and we continually left Ovechkin open when it was absolutely clear that the puck was going to him every time.

Does Pete want to say anything about the PK now? It's been an utter embarassment this last month. Worse than the Panther series really, half of the playoff PK nonsense was on Marty allowing soft goals in the first six games of the postseason.

Devils Grades -

Lokti - B
Kovalchuk C-

everyone else, either a barely passing, incomplete for being a no show (Elias, Zajac, Henrique, Clarkson), or complete fail (the entire Defense and Moose).

You expose slow-skating D with good quick passing, Caps did that really well.

We got a split in Washington against a team that is way better than their record and Ovechkin in beast mode, it's not too bad.

i know pete's presser will go something like this because he never calls the team out in public

"those players over there, ovechkin (same like tavares) and that goalie played absolutely great, you need to give credit to the other team"

so i guess the caps will lose to the canes 7-0 next game like the islanders did to philly.
