GDT: Round 2 Game 3

[ClevelandCapsfan]

He was anticipation the pass across the crease to a wide open Hurricane. The problem was the poor defense leading up to that.

Who’s to blame for the goal off the faceoff?

The loss of Marty is really seen in this series.

Luck and health always plays a part in winning the Cup. But right now Carolina just wants it more, playing better overall.

 

[SpinningEdge]

Dowd, Dubaim, Ovi, and Strome have same exact amount of shifts halfway thru the third. Wtf.

How are they not just hitting everything that moves at this point? I think the Canes are physically incapable of giving up 3 goals in a period at home, so you have to start playing for the future.

 

[RedRocking]

Eh, we played alright, just couldn’t cash in when we had the mo. LT let in a couple uncharacteristic stinkers. And the Canes love to front run at home.

Gotta get that first goal in G4.

 

[RandyHolt]

Send in the car goons

If you can’t score maybe you shake the lines up. Sometimes Carbery is hard headed.

Yeah, if LT is playing the way he’s capable of this is a 1-0 game right now. But they haven’t been getting any chances for a while either. Their good start just died after not being able to convert chances, that’s always a recipe for disaster against a good team like the Canes.

Sandin > Carlson, but both. 2nd goal was on LT

 

[Calicaps]

Shoot the damn puck.

The doubt of this series is starting to creep in for me, I don’t see how we win 3 out of 4 against this Carolina team. Anderson has been so solid for them

They should put Leonard back in next game.

 

[RandyHolt]

shades of Ovi's first playoff goal on that AA turnover.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Caps are gassed or quit. I’m going with gassed. Maybe save partying and bars for the off-season.

 

[aonb]

please don't pull the goalie

 

[tenken00]

Man. Which team is down by 3 late in the third right now?

 

[Chokingdogs]

Just golfed, shot a 91. Caps in 5, is it time to drink alcohol yet?

You played golf? I’ve played one round of golf without adult beverages, and that was only because I totally forgot about the Carolina’s blue laws. Worst game of my life.

 

[RandyHolt]

Attaboy Dowd

 

[IsThatSemin]

This third period has been just a shitty effort all around IMO

 

[Calicaps]

They've played worse each game. We've played better each game. I like the trend.

Pretty sure this post is to blame

 

[marcel snapshot]

Whatever - you’re allowed to lose 3. But if there’s a next level we can get to, we would best get to it and stay there. Lot of guys refraining from taking their game up a notch or two

 

[pman25]

They should put Leonard back in next game.

Should have been in for this game. Too afraid to change the lineup after a win

 

[SherVaughn30]

100% obvious that he is not 100%.

It's Game conditioning. The guy was out for something like 3 weeks!

It’s epically bad. It’s up there with game 4 against TB in 2011.

 

[RedRocking]

Still think JC74 should be taken off PP1. Reduce his minutes. If Chychrun isn’t gonna shoot, why is he there? Use 80 or 24 who are good with entries.

(yes, I know the PP isn’t the biggest issue rn, lol).
