Good news is we are only down 1

 

[capsovi7878]

Just like the regular season holtby soft goal and crappy PP

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

It doesn't balance out BTW. The Caps are only a home team once during the round robin.

 

[EroCaps]

Lots of lazy passes. Feels like exhibition.

 

[chilimac]

6 meh shots on goal. meh.

 

[tenken00]

Different month, same old shitty PP

blaming holtby on that goal is dumb. there were about ten things that led up to the goal that shouldn’t have happened

 

[Langway]

Yep. Need more from 77/19/20...three important tone-setters. The top line can't do it all.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Def feels like a pre season game

That was a Semin-esque goal from Kuch. That was anything but soft.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

More intensity, please.

 

[Coldplay619]

Our second line is ass.

You are blaming that goal on Holtby?

Agreed. It started with a poor decision by Eller.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. It's impossible to balance out playing an odd number of games in the round robin.
I'm guessing the Bruins and Lightning will get 2 homes games because they are the top 2 teams.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Don’t suck PP

Wonder who is on point

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Orlov on point

 

[Kalopsia]

Why is it that the Caps are so bad at PP faceoffs and OZ faceoffs in general? I thought I was just imagining things or there was some confirmation bias going on, but I just checked and they've been dead last in PP faceoff win percentage each of the last two years. They're somehow better at SH/DZ faceoffs than PP/OZ faceoffs, which seems counterintuitive since having your stick down first is supposed to be a disadvantage.

 

[capsovi7878]

God what a pathetic pp

 

[Jarias2311]

They stink

 

[max21]

That power play my lord

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

It’s a round robin game but practice caring now.

 

[McVechkin]

how can anyone call that goal soft on Holtby.... common..

Agreed. Just a nice shot.

 

[McVechkin]

this is hard to watch.
