And before anyone gets on my ass, the entire point is they need to get it together, and after I've been saying that, they've been losing lmao. Can't assume the other teams will just lose every game 4-5 more times. They're quickly losing ground (they already were)
It was such an idiotic penalty the refs decided to give us a phantom trip on Detroit afterwards lol

This would be an easier game to write off and just move on from if they didn't shit the bed so hard on Tuesday.
Need to be getting points out of the next two to have something to build off of for the western Canada trip

Yeah man that’s it. It’s the goalie…again…give it a go again next year, I bet this time it will be different.
You know, if you really believe these goalies have been the main problem all along, that means we have a GM who has failed to attain an NHL caliber goalie for like the umpteenth straight year. You’d think at some point the criticism would go towards him, again, if that’s what you truly believe about the goalie situation every f***ing year.

There is no reason to even waste a single second thinking about the out of town scoreboard.

Which then caused them to miss a legit trip on Jack later that they had to pretend didn't happen because they needed to make up for that phantom trip.
Refs were insanely bad that 3rd period across the board

Yeah, I laughed pretty hard when I saw the replay.

They need to start winning before they are in a hole they need a 15 game heater to get out of. You can't win the Cup now, but you can play your way out of a chance at it pretty fast. They simply can't dig a hole.
I wouldn't be surprised if that top 4 is how it shook out. Not in that order as I think the Rags should very easily win this division but us in the 4 spot as we don't look good, Canes will be Canes, and the Caps have played pretty phenomenal hockey so far. Could also see the Isles bumping us down

Way too early to be looking at the standings.
But also damn I didn't realize Philly was coming out the gate that poorly.
The GM should be fired if the Devils miss the playoffs this year, and it will likely be because of the goalies that they do miss. If you think Markstrom wasn't absolutely atrocious on goal #4, we have nothing to talk about. That is not even pro-level goaltending.

Why they need to be getting results out of the next two. 3 out of 4 points at minimum. Make up for not getting anything out of the last two.

Rangers and Canes are locks, who knows after that? The Capitals look amazing, Carbery is a legit Jack Adams finalist imo and probably should've won it last year. We should be good enough for top 3 but the goaltending is goaltending again.

How come msg media not interviewing goalies after games like this.
markstrom isn't a rookie, he's a veteran (supposedly high quality) goalie. He should answer the bell to the media, same with allens shitshow last game before.
We would throw Vitek in the mic or Blackwood, let these guys take the heat a little.

I mean he's right? That's also a dig at Markstrom indirectly saying to get your shit together.
you were quite literally one of the people citing a 5-2-1 record when some of us were mad at how they're playing. GTFO with that crap

I'm not convinced the Caps are this good at a sustainable level, but we will see.
This team on paper is good enough, they got to perform on a nightly basis and they need to get more saves

Our results matter. The rest of the divisions results do not matter right now.

He's always been like this, he was good last year in xGSAA which probably means he sucks this year. He's a very streaky goalie
