Post-Game Talk: Caps @ Jerks

[illpucks]

Very poor player management at the end of the game. Everyone was gassed, no fresh legs to score.

 

[mad4comp]

That might be a bit of an overreaction. lil bit.

Not really.. the guy is getting outcoached badly... he has no fire, no reaction... .nothing. His player gets injured.. he stands calmly at the bench.... instead of fighting for a 5 min major. Even OV is showing better coaching and fire than he is. He's plain trash bud.

Canes have definitely played much better than us over the course of this series despite the series being tied.

I don't mind the forward lines but the defense pairs are atrocious.

 

[BallardEra]

1 goal in 2 games and a PP one at that simply won’t cut it.

Trotz chilling in flip flops and a bathrobe while the Caps go 7 games against the Canes.

we done

we are back. magic is gone

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Lots of overreactions.

Clam down everyone. Caps had chances, just didn't bury them. It wasn't a bad game.

It was a bad game. They played down to their opponent.

 

[illpucks]

If Oshie isn't able to play on saturday, it's time to insert DSP in the lineup.

Hopefully a suspension from DOPS for that bs boarding. Way to take Oshie out of the playoffs

 

[txpd]

If they hurry, they can fire the coach before game 5. You people are hilarious

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Regarding the ongoing Reirden bashing, please remind me how many seasons Trotz was behind the bench before they won the cup.

Going back to the OT in game 2, Caps have only scored when Carolina was missing a stick.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Because there's no icing when the other team is on the PK, so they can take free pot shots at the empty net from 120 feet.

I get the risk
But having a 6 on 4 might be worth it with 4 min left and your going to to pull the goalie anyways at 90 sec

Hot rod is out coaching TR

No. Its against league policy

 

[RandyHolt]

Kuzy was invisible in this game. What the heck is going on.

He was turned away from the team bus.

 

[HandsomeTom43]

Who's kidding who here...this is going 7.

 

[Ovechkin]

Todd is the end result of an organizational mindset that coaching isn't that important if you have a great team. He was going to be the cheap and easy hire. Don't pay big bucks for Trotz, just plug his assistant in.

 

[Linnie The Pooh]

My analysis of the game: Holtby did not lose this game for the Capitals. He was the best player for the Caps on the ice. John Carlson and others on the D were a mess many times during the game. The offense could not sustain any pressure in the offensive zone because they could not keep the puck in the zone to get anything set up. The passing was probably the worst I have seen all season long. The good thing is we come back home and do it all over on Saturday. Hopefully they will work on the passing the next few days. Carolina is not going away that is for damn sure. A side note though if Oshie is really hurt and I usually do not say this, but Tom Wilson has to come out with his eyes wide open. That hit was uncalled for and it was not boarding it was a cross check right across his chest. I hope that Oshbabe is OK.

I doubt it. DOPS is a joke.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Clam down!!!!

 

[illpucks]

Who replaces Oshie on PP? Vrana?

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

Lots of overreactions.

Clam down everyone. Caps had chances, just didn't bury them. It wasn't a bad game.

They did not have that many high danger chances. Carolina has adjusted and they realize that we won't score goals by cycling the puck. As long as the Canes don't give up odd man rushes they know they can control our offense.

 

[peterthegreat12]

You guys are wigging out. Some good adjustments were made.

So many sweet adjustments that they couldn’t beat a team missing three of their top nine forwards. Garbage.

Regarding the ongoing Reirden bashing, please remind me how many seasons Trotz was behind the bench before they won the cup.

The difference that the team played with structure under Trotz. There is no structure with this team.

 

[RandyHolt]

Oshie being so much pain, I am guessing dislocated shoulder... but it didn't have that sag...

 

[txpd]

This is awful. Doom. Nothing like this happened last season. The Caps losing two games in a row in a playoff series. We know that if they trail in a series, they will lose.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Regarding the ongoing Reirden bashing, please remind me how many seasons Trotz was behind the bench before they won the cup.

Barry never had pretty much the full roster of the defending champs to coach with and the nearest serious competition swept out in the first round. Your point is really irrelevant. If you think Reirden is doing well this series so far, make a case for it. I think you’ve got a hard sell.
