I hope Al Koken gives them a good verbal thrashing in post game.
Alan May seems to come up with an excuse every game like this so I'm not expecting much from him.
I hope they make the loffs obviously but finishing just outside of the loffs is no bueno for anyone involved. I hope they really turn it around or lose every game left this season.
Come on man - what is this crap about the extra day off? if they are that mentally fragile then they don't deserve a playoff spot.In hind sight this was too much a trap game! The extra day off threw them out of rhythm. The story of the season has been too many games lack of goal scoring and too many blowout losses.
Agreed.Sadly this is what you get with youth. Why I didn’t want to see a full rebuild. I still love the young guys but this is what you get. gonna have to not resign Patches and NAK who has been trash.
It's not lack of urgency. When you get xtra rest, it takes your legs to get going more when you get back in your next game. This effects a lot of other teams besides the Caps. That xtra day of rest, is good but it means players are not immediately in game condition while your opponent is because they have been playing in rhythm with every other day.Carbs needs to get these guys to pull on the rope harder in this game. This is the second lowest ranked team left on the schedule, except for the one game against Ottawa.
I just don’t see enough urgency for a team that probably can’t secure a playoff spot until game 81 or 82 of the season.
I think it is too much youth too fast. I do think Leonard can impact immediately. I’ll take that youth on. Lapierre has me convinced he is ready. McMichael can fill 3C.Agreed.
My only concern is I don't see a lot of great potential in the youth they have. I see OK NHL players but not great ones. They need more high end prospects to enter the picture (Leonard is one, Cristall is a maybe).

Here we go with the whining naysayers again! Same ppl say almost nothing when the Caps are winning games!
I'll say it ... at least Skinner hasn't scored against us (yet).
NAK is well worth his contract imo, add in Beck and you have 2 promising young cheap 4th linersI think it is too much youth too fast. I do think Leonard can impact immediately. I’ll take that youth on. Lapierre has me convinced he is ready. McMichael can fill 3C.
Miro can go to Hershey and develop a bit more. NAK cut. Patches cut. Find another veteran for a one-year prove it leadership deal. Sign or trade for a top 6 LW or RW.
I have thought that in the past. But he has been bad. He is old enough that you have seen his peak. I have no issue replacing his spot with a grizzled vet. JVR might be good (and cheap).NAK is well worth his contract imo, add in Beck and you have 2 promising young cheap 4th liners
Like Beck a lot!NAK is well worth his contract imo, add in Beck and you have 2 promising young cheap 4th liners
The out-of-town scoreboard isn't doing the Caps many favors. Their future is still in their hands, but tonight they've wasted a wonderful opportunity.
