No, the Caps’ record is inflated because the East kinda sucks.

Psst…Chris…Dallas is in the West.
Just kidding, I know what you mean ;) But the Caps have done pretty well against the West, and I’m not convinced that the West is THAT much better. There’s one more team at Caps-level and one more team in the basement in our conference but overall the numbers aren’t that far apart.
Plus I’d argue we have more of the standout superstar talents in the East, but that’s just my own bias ;)
I was being quite hyperbolic, but the point somewhat stands (albeit not as clear cut as I joked).

True. It’s good to see this level of fight in the team. Honestly, Turco’s just going to steal this one. And that just happens sometimes, it’s the only thing a team really can’t develop a plan for.

Of course, but I’m only referring to the fact that you can’t do anything about a goalie who’s playing out of his mind. I have to give Turco credit.

I mean, you’re playing with a stick and puck, but there’s no team aspect to it. There’s no passing and no angles and no screens. It’s just the player and the goalie and they both have a lot of time to think about what they’re going to do. It’s somewhat similar to real hockey, but not really.

yes, but during a game, on a breakaway, you expect Ovi, Semin, Backy, etc to score right? So why can’t they do it when they aren’t as rushed? Must be the thinking too much thing.

I still see BB rotating them. I kind of thought Theo would start this game, but I guess they’re just doing a rotation from here until it’s closer to the playoffs. Theo should get the next game, but after that they may go back to Varly again.
I think they said Varly would get two games this week. So yeah, I think we’ll see them alternating games for the moment. But we win this one if Theo’s in goal I feel.

Yeah. Frustrating loss. Guess it happens sometimes, though. The third Dallas goal was horrible, though.

Yep. Varly had the chances. He got beat in the shootout. He got beat for the third goal. The PK lets us down and the goaltending lets us down. This kind of game is exhibit A for those who say we are built only for the regular season.

Exhibit A for what happens when ANY team runs into a super hot goalie
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
I’m sorry, you can’t focus on what they do superhuman. You can only focus on what you can control. We’re supposed to be able to beat offensively challenged teams by either staying out of the box or PKing so that are talent breaks through for at least two.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
Oh i agree with the PK. . .we should absolutely step up that PK. BB must make changes.
But i reject the notion that this is an example of the team’s playoff inability
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
I’m not saying that it’s an example of the team’s inability; i’m saying this is the type of game that raises concerns for some pundits. Hot goalie opposing + bad PK + somewhat suspect goaltending = loss.
If we get either great goaltending (like last night) or a solid PK, we are the odds on favorite.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
Oh, i see. I agree, just need a new PK and Theo to stay consistant
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
There you go. The PK is really problematic, and it’s important that they find the right mix. Does anyone feel that our PK was hurt by any of today’s scratches? You’d expect Fleischmann’s scratch to help the D if anything.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
The PK is actually pretty close to the same effectiveness when Flash is out there as when he isn’t. It suffers a little bit, but that could just be small sample size noise.

Anybody else who might help us there? On the other hand, it seemed to me that we were much better with face offs tonight.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
By the numbers, Brads, Brooks and Sasha are our best PKers. Gordo is hot on their heels and Steckel is surprisngly ineffective.

This one falls on the PK. Especially with Theo playing so well, we are Cup-worthy at everything but one huge exception. If the PK does not improve in the playoffs then we probably don’t get the hardware.

seriously? Yeah should we have won, of course. It’s one game we should have won, we ran into Henrik last year who stole some games, Marty stole one tonight, good for him. Now let’s worry about the PK not this lost.
I work with 7 penguins fans and this is really getting old....

Don’t be so sure that pitt doesn’t force Washington to get every point. I’m still quite worried that we’ll blow the #1 seed in the east.
-These go to eleven.
Pitt goes 14-2, Wash goes 7-9 that does it. I don’t think it’ll happen, but when it comes to the Washington Capitals, the years have taught me to never count out their ability to fuck things up.
-These go to eleven.
Yeah, we most certainly won’t go 7-9 and Pittsburgh will prolly not go 14-2. . .( they might though)
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
Plus a little while ago I’m sure some Sabres and Devils fans were saying that we’ll be in it until the end for the EC race unless somebody goes on a 13 game winning streak or something.
You my friend, will earn “Boo this man” if we blow the EC lead.

The other thing is that you really don’t want this to be close. You don’t want to have to factor in the EC race in resting players.

It’s not going to be close, in all probability.

Just about no chance of that happening. The President’s Trophy is still very much in play, but the top seed in the east is all but sewn up. WSH is 13 points ahead of PIT with 16 games to play — even if PIT won every single game from here to the playoffs, the Caps only need to play slightly better than .500 hockey from a points percentage standpoint to win the conference.

Do you think that our PK is hurt by not having one unit running out there consistently so that they can beat some chemistry? With the rotating D and rotating 3rd and 4th centers it may keep guys fresh, but does it hurt PK chemistry?
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
I’m not sure, I think its a bigger problem how passive we are. We don’t put nearly enough pressure on the points/puck carriers.
by Hangsleben's Heroes on Mar 8, 2010 10:01 PM EST up reply actions
Is some of this passivity coming from not trusting our ability to knock guys down on the back line?
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
It may just be the system. Were we this passive last year killing penalties?
by Hangsleben's Heroes on Mar 8, 2010 10:05 PM EST up reply actions
I don’t remember, but the PK wasn’t great last year either, regardless of system.

Did they play the whole game on the perimeter? I didn’t get to watch a lot of it, so I honestly don’t know. If they were driving the net, working hard along the boards and creating screens then I don’t think that’s a fair takeaway. If they looked like they did against Columbus last season, content to take a bunch of low percentage shots from far away, then that’s a legitimate complaint.

I absolutely hated this game because it was finally a game Washington really deserved to win. There have been plenty of games that the Caps have won and they rly shouldnt have, games that they squeeked out a win, and a few that the team has dominated.
This was one the team dominated, but still lost. . .aside from that horrible PK
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
The D sucked, the stifling O helped cover it for the first two.

Yeah. I’m beginning to feel like Varly can’t be trusted to make the routine save.
-These go to eleven.
he looked like this last year before the playoffs. and earlier this year. its his head. once he gets back on the train i think he will be back up to par with the rags series last year. i think he needs to keep playing.
Remember the Flyers game in Philly? The one they lost 6-5 in OT, because Varly couldn’t hold a rebound to save his life? He avoided being the goalie of record in that one, but went 13-1-2 for the start of the year and had a sv% of .924 and a GAA in the low 2s. He’ll be fine once he knocks the rust off, it’s been almost 3 months since he got regular playing time.
Eff Ryan Malone, anyway.

Jesus….I dont think the Caps LOST this game…Turco WON this game for the Stars… thats it.
www.ispotastory.com
Our special teams were built 2-1, that it is the difference. If we can stay even with teams on specials we’re a terror at even strength. That’s the misleading thing about our gaudy +/- stats. PK is this team’s bugaboo.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
I don’t think it’s misleading at all — the Caps lead the league in goal differential by a wide margin. That includes the best PP on the circuit and a ratty PK, to go along with the outstanding ES play.
The whistles become less frequent, especially late in the game, during the playoffs. I’d much rather the Caps continued to dominate at five-a-side than improve their special teams, if that’s the tradeoff in practice time.

by Knee high to a duck on Mar 8, 2010 10:05 PM EST up reply actions
I’m just saying that if you combine our PP ranking and our PK ranking and our goal differential on specials I would expect that it is not as strong as our even strength performance.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
That’s undoubtedly true, but ES proficiency is still more important than special teams.

I don’t know, remember the Pens got nearly 40 power plays in the 7 games last year.
by Hangsleben's Heroes on Mar 8, 2010 10:08 PM EST up reply actions
But I think that some of this is due to the lack of depth we had on D. When you have scrubs and tired scrubs on D, they’re going to take penalties. Also, wasn’t the Pens physicality and forecheck a major factor in that series? Weren’t they keeping it in our zone more. I think that the depth that we have added will reduce penalties over a long series, though.
erskine has scored...now i can die in peace
Honestly though, in a 7-game series, I think we will be ok against the Pens.
We are alot better than last year, and they are a little worse imo
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!
We won’t get ok by thinking we’ll be ok. We’ll get ok by maintaining our strengths and holding players accountable to their weaknesses. For Brad’s especially, his borderline penalty does not help his case for playing time.

Should the Caps be worried after the loss to the Stars?
Not really, but this does show that they are beatable (all teams are, of course) and it has exposed the weakness that all Caps fans should be worried about headed into the playoffs: the team defense is great, the defense scores a lot of points but the goaltending is not at the same level as the rest of the team.

Send Varly to Hershey -- recall Neuvirth
Neuvirth is a much better goalie. Varly needs to finish up the year in Hershey. If he can’t hack that, he can go back to Russia.
