Vitek shitting his pants allowed the Caps to go into game management mode and play more conservatively to preserve the win. It’s an entirely different game and structure when the Devils aren’t chasing and the other team is forced to open up to push for goals.It’s incredibly frustrating to see the team play down to their opponents’ level. They’ve shown many times this year how they can control play for prolonged stretches, but it’s been completely inconsistent.
Vitek shitting his pants so early still shouldn’t have tanked them given there was still so much time left in the game. They were flat, again, in the first and for much of the second.
We can’t afford to continue starting these games late.
Those two goals absolutely flipped the momentum of the game too. They were completely back breaking.
