When the announcer said, “This is why Washington doesn’t want to be down 3 goals. SJ plays D…(etc)”

When would any team want to be down 3 goals? The guy’s off his rocker. As if for some teams, this down by 3 thing is great, but just not tonight against SJ.

its been a rough road, and not many wins of late, but I liked the o generation of late. It is what I personally asked for. But granted 1000x it doesn’t mean a lot if they can’t win games.

I do like watching them work the o zone, and I don’t think its too much passing in general. Just the windups on shots, shot selection sometimes…

Mike Milbury reaches a new low

I literally couldn’t believe the pure horseshit Milbury just spewed out of his mouth.

His macho man bullshit is everything wrong with how hockey people treat physicality and concussions.

And note his silence when Niklas Backstrom is brought up. Also, notice when Volchenkov is mentioned, it’s all of the sudden a “bad hit”.

I hope he’s suspended for that ignorant rant.

Honestly, if I were told to choose the team that I’d least like to play right now, I would’ve probably chosen San Jose.

The Sharks are probably one of the strongest team at center in the entire league. The Caps, probably one of the weakest.

Hunter’s strategy relies on players exactly like Backstrom and Green to move the puck very quickly through the neutral zone and set up great, high percentage scoring chances. It’s going to be a tough road until one of the two get back

Sharks dominated pretty thoroughly, I thought. Completely different class of team.

I thought they did in the 3rd. I don’t think they dominated through 40 nearly as much.

Everything ends badly...otherwise it wouldn't end.

Maybe I’m wearing my rose-colored glasses. To me, Caps started really well besides the terrible goal and had the better play. I can’t remember the rest of the game. I was weeping.

They do have a tremendously solid base of centers — there aren’t the weak spots and/or fill-ins the Caps have down the middle. Saying that, the Caps played a pretty good first 30-40 minutes.

Dingos are involved. Best not to ask.

He’s right can’t say we came back thy didn’t try at all once they got up 5 1

I thought the Caps played exceptionally well in the O zone in the 2nd.

I Heard, Holtby saved the kittens in the 1st.

I saw, the D didn’t hold up their end for much of the game.

God-Fucking-Dammit! Sure, the Stripes beat down on you, but that’s no reason to help them! and you, Stefan Ojay, or whatever the hell your name is, keep your infatuation with Dan Boyle somewhere else! Dear God!

Dammit, Jagr! Burn in Philly!

Fluke goal from neutral zone. Over the shoulder carnival goal and some PP goals.
bummer.

No way to argue that

To me, it looks like the caps have no playmaking ability.

Meh, that is a problem, but could be fixed quick with the (possible) return of Backy; in the meantime, someone’s gotta step up to take his spot *cough Semin! *cough. First problem though is crashing the net.

Backstrom’s not returning this year.

Caps should keep him and Green on IR for the rest of the season, let them get completely healthy.

Lots of complaining about Milbury from you Caps fans but how come you guys never reference this incident as to why he’s a joke? I feel like this one may be more egregious then trying to fight a little kid.

Saw on the Laich shorty replay that he was hooked a little (?). Call? Non-call?

At the time, didn’t look like enough to warrant a call.
