GDT: Maybe? Caps @ isles 12:30pm edit: yes!!! All due respect to The Great One, but The Great 8 stands alone atop the mountain

Okay with 3 days off, this team needs to practice defending in front of their goal and goaltending! Lindgren needs to be better tracking pucks with his eyes and shake the cob webs off of LT's head!

They are going out in NY tonight. DC on Monday. Practice on Wednesday. Haha.
 
Today is all about Ovie. I’ll worry about the team once we trail in a series. Only good vibes until then. Lfg baby!!!
 
It’s somewhat reassuring.
Eh, not so much. This isn't an at-will sort of team. They've got to stay within themselves, play it shift-to-shift and really up their connectedness and work rate to get back on track. They're not just going to be carried by a few players. It's got to be a true team effort.

Carbery's got his work cut out for him. History is exhausting. Better goaltending assuredly would help...but they've got to manage to make it a little easier on them as well. Less loose play, more boringly competent and focused efforts. Not easy with the East virtually sewn up. Carolina at home should be an easier one to get up for. The rest? IDK. Could definitely see them back into the first round and then, well, who knows? They've stuck with it all year but their elevation remains in question, all the more glaringly with Thompson's status being uncertain.

Seemed like Chychrun was a lot worse but, yeah, the blueline group overall? No bueno. That said, celebrate and regroup.
 
I’m sorry but the caps playing like ass kinda spoils this for me. Not totally and I’m sure as time goes on I won’t care. But seriously to have sorry ass play all around Ovie kinda pisses me off.
Caps fans should know not to put too much stock into the regular season.

We’re in the playoffs. That’s where the real games are played.
 
Yeah, I've thought Chychrun's been really poor defensively since the extension.

I continue to think Roy isn't very good, but I also understand he's got a lot going on right now.
