Also, even if they pull this series out, Reirden isn't the guy. Hope we move on from him sooner rather than later.
Sounds about right
1-2-1 outscored 7-11, since the NHL return. Not good bob
Yup - and trotz and islanders know they can take penalties/be more aggressive 5v5 too bc caps pp isn’t anywhere near what it should be. 7 opportunities today and a +3 pp advantage and the winning goal is bc of a short handed goal.Such a stark difference between a Trotz coached team and a Rierden coached team. One plays a very disciplined game, the other has breakdowns all over the place. And its been like that with Rierden since he took over. Not going to win anything like that.
He’s one playoff series removed from a very solid Stanley cup winning performance.
what do people want TR to do exactly? he's got one goalie who sucks and another who hurt himself and lied.
They're just old. That's what happens sometimes when you're old and it's a young men's league.

I mean one could tell when the team is this old they physically wouldn't be able to come back from such deficits all the time. The best part from the quote I posted from twitter is the guy thinks the Caps are ready to implode and when this said not by a couch expert but by a NHL coach who knows his shit then it's pretty telling.Not everyone is old. But everyone is gassed. We were down 3 or 4 goals in the 3rd or something like that to this very team in Janurary.
And we brought up the intensity to score 5 and kept bringing it to them.
I think we all recognized it was a horrible contract. Unless something big changes our window may be closed.Backstrom never healthy in playoffs. He can't hit. He can't be hit. Trade this dead weight.
Backstrom being injury prone in the playoffs has Def become a thingBackstrom never healthy in playoffs. He can't hit. He can't be hit. Trade this dead weight.
