GDT: caps canes

Terrible showing. I dunno what's going on with the team but Carbery needs to fix it.

I did appreciate their ability to goon it up though. Havent seen a caps team do that in a long time.
 
Losing 5-1 sucks but I can’t lie, I don’t really mind how to hell it went with all the hate in the end. They’ve been sleepwalking for a while, probably doesn’t hurt to have a powder keg game getting emotions high and guys fighting for each other.

Absolutely. They needed a loss like this against a rival.
 
Habs/CBJ's better step up! I'll be honest, I don't want to play against Shesterkin in the 1st round because it could be like facing Lundqvist, all over again!
I’ll believe it when I see it.

No Barkov, Tkachuk, Ekbkad, Kulikov and Sturm for Florida tonight.
That's not the Leafs problem. You play with who you got! Last season, the Panthers were healthy to win the Cup, but the previous season they had injury issues going into the Cup Final and now the same thing is happening here.

Carolina doesnt have the offense to win a cup
It’s definitely been their issue the past few years. They’re always deep and they buy into their gameplan well. I always expect each year to be the year they at least go to the finals, but I think they’ve always lacked that true star player to give them the last push. Svech was looking like he could be that but stagnated. I thought Rantanen was going to push them over the top but obviously it didn’t work out (I think they did well to recover that situation as best they could and have been killing it since then). I still feel like they’re one player having a massive hot streak in the playoffs away from potentially winning a cup. Hope it doesn’t happen because I don’t like watching them at all and think Rod is the biggest baby in the league, but if the Canes broke through and won a cup on any given year I wouldn’t be shocked.

That being said I hope the Caps bring their A-game next week and crush them both physically and on the score sheet. Will have to see.
