GDT: Round 2 Game 2

[Hivemind]

Caps are going to have to dominate the special teams battle if they want to win this series.

 

[Block]

That call was pretty weak for the playoffs

That was a weak call for the preseason.

 

[tycoonheart]

A little better than last game but still out of sync

My assumption is gamesmanship by the refs to "control" the game. Afraid that Wilson hit was gonna send the game into a chippy/bad place. But all they do is steal any momentum we might have gotten off it, and hand it to the Canes.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

A little better than last game but still out of sync

Agreed. More energy but they aren’t able to complete passes.

 

[Hivemind]

Wilson's bear hug throwdown was a more fitting penalty.

 

[DWGie26]

That was a good PK.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Caps effort so far almost non-existent.

 

[kicksavedave]

Ovi is almost controller disconnected so far. Never see him striding here. Just gliding.

 

[CactusCap]

Someone do something. And stop just dumping and changing. Get in late on the shift and force them to defend tired.

 

[Holtbyisms]

Feels like I'm watching a replay of game 1. Maybe this is all we've got boys.

 

[Hivemind]

Duhaime and Beauvillier are the only two on the team who seem to get any penetration against this Canes team.

 

[McVechkin]

Canes just playing such a fast and cohesive game. They forecheck in waves. Caps no room.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Time for some Dale Hunter hockey.

 

[Capsman]

This reminds me of every other series we’ve been swept (Tampa, Rangers) but even worse.

I’m really not sure what adjustments we’ve made. Still sending one guy in on the forecheck, long passes, etc.

 

[RandyHolt]

Passing is sloppy and choppy we are panicking with the puck

 

[Pigskin]

21-5 in shot attempts ?

oh my lord

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

22 shot attempts to 5 already. You can’t win games like this.

 

[CapsGr8]

Mystery as to why they're playing so timid.

 

[CapsGr8]

Are they saving their play for Game 7?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Is there a sportsbook that does live bets on puck battles? I can easily predict the winner of each one, without fail, in real time.

 

[BallardEra]

22 shot attempts to 5 already. You can’t win games like this.

Yep. Hopefully they find a way to pull this one out tonight.

They're done if they lose tonight.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Canes can’t be this much better than Caps, can they?

 

[Nice]

Just sensing pressure from the canes and completely folding to it

 

[DWGie26]

Just no room. Canes have us bottled up. Very few odd man rushes. Going to have to be some dump and chase to open it up. And get physical!!
