ECF Game 5: Washington Capitals @ Tampa Bay Lightning | 7:15 PM ET | CBC, TVAS, NBC

[Raymones]

The first two rounds he played well.

He was definitely more "noticable". I'm sure he's doing a great job in this series as well, hard working shift after shift, shutting down plays. It's just that I don't see him making plays, throwing hits or even put a shot at the net. Well, except for that game winner..

As usual?

Yes Ovechkin is an overall liability

The Caps got to the third round. They sellout every game. They won't make any changes

Sad but true. This team is not serious about winning. But I understand that making money is more important than winning.

 

[AndreRoy]

Vas needs to buy his goal posts a beer at the end of this game

Who was the goalie who said “they don’t pay me to defend the posts” again?

 

[Classicnamesup]

This game could really use a shot in the arm with a caps goal. Just going thru the motions.

 

[dukeofjive]

What was that pass...

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Refs are letting everything go

 

[Bleedred]

This Capitals team just isn't very good, they have too many boat anchors. Last couple teams they oced were much better. They replaced Marcus Johansson and Justin Williams with flotsam and jetsam like DSP and Chiasson.

Jay Beagle is garbage and it's sad that the constant counter is ''But his advanced stats are only bad because of this and that'' do we really need advanced stats to confirm he's useless?

Brooks Orpik needs to retire. There was a time where he probably was better than quite a few bottom pairing defenseman in the NHL. That was a disaster signing from the beginning.

lol Wilson u suck and so do u carlson

 

[Hockeyholic]

I'd have to research this. But has a team ever come back from a 2-0 or 3-1 deficit to win a series, and then blow a 2-0 or 3-1 series lead in the same postseason to lose a series?

 

[dukeofjive]

Theres a force field in front of the bolts net

 

[apollo71426]

Ovechkin missing golden opportunities, just like last game.

 

[BoltsFanPinellasPark]

Good work cirelli

 

[dukeofjive]

Those bad passes are killing the caps

 

[Bleedred]

I'm finally conceding that Trotz = Most overrated head coach in the NHL.

Unless people still think Carlyle is good? I'm not saying Two-Round Trotz sucks like Retread Randy, I'm just saying he ain't the best head coach in the league.

Orpik appears to be kind of good at standing still and holding and interfering with guys.

Ovy

 

[dukeofjive]

Too little too late

 

[Mighty Makar]

Uh oh!
