Prolly been mentioned by others, but Ovechkin's goal was a Captain's Goal.
Lappy's missed opportunities in a high pressure game had me feeling like he's a prototypical Cap.Without Chucky, we are sucky. Probably not even sniffing a PO spot without him.
Think Lappy's line starts scoring again next game. Too many close chances generated.

When he missed that wide open net I yelled, "F off!" Like it was a playoff game.
I ain't down on Lappy, it's more a commentary of the high stakes nature of the game.His first real year as a Cap. Shit happens. He's made some stellar plays too.
At least he's creating chances.

I thought he played pretty well.
I think he just hit the sophomore slump/wall. Probably same with Protas, though he at least has a defensive line and defensive game to fall back on with his size.think if anyone needs to 'step up', it's MickeyMike.
He needs a small ladder…..Nah, don't bs, you were getting crappy on Lappy. haha "Lappy's missed opportunities in a high pressure game had me feeling like he's a prototypical Cap."
It's cool...think if anyone needs to 'step up', it's MickeyMike.
What are you a mind reader? Lappy missed a wide open net and I reacted as any normal hockey fan would. If Ovie missed an open net in a big game I'd get excited as well.Nah, don't bs, you were getting crappy on Lappy. haha "Lappy's missed opportunities in a high pressure game had me feeling like he's a prototypical Cap."

He's got the IQ to go along with the physical tools. That's what separates him from the other kids right now. Can't wait to see him alongside Lenny.Lappy might be our #1 prospect / player up from Hershey, He always looks very fast and making scoring chances. He's gotten much better each season and very excited to see his next jump in development.
IndeedProverbial have to weather the storm on the road heavily outshot than BAM an Ovi goal silences the crowd.
Its April 10th and the Caps are currently in a playoff spot. Zero people predicted this in October. A whole lot of kudo's to go around for the club.I think before Game 1 of the season no one saw them being in a playoff spot this late in the season so that’s neat.

I am still damaged goods from 2010 Montreal. Green and Semin (maybe Ovi too?) couldn't hit the side a barn trying to pick the top corner and missing the net posts ringing like a doorbell or crushing the glass over and over on countless high quality chances the entire series.I ain't down on Lappy, it's more a commentary of the high stakes nature of the game.

apropos.... but also, Jimi's in his first season. He will continue to improve.I am still damaged goods from 2010 Montreal.

The cup eased 40 years of suffering but the slate was not totally wiped clean.

And if you don't have a sense of humour about the Caps history of underperforming in the playoffs, I feel bad for you.
lol. Whoopshahahaha I can't believe you read my reply...including using 'crappy on lappy' and a 'haha' and walk away with: 'This guy doesn't have a sense a humour'. Derp derp!
But at the end of the day the only reality that matters is the standings and where they sit, which is in the final wildcard spot with one week left in th regular season.I'll give props to Lindgren and a few others but let's not pretend the team is actually better than we thought they'd be. They have the 4th worst goal differential at 5v5 in the NHL and have average special teams. They have been extremely fortunate to sequence their goals almost perfectly in order to squeeze out a .500 record.
If they play like this next year they'll almost surely be a bottom 8 team.
Missed opportunity - you could have said "ice sheets, not spread sheets"2023-24 Washington Capitals - the game is played on the ice not on spread sheets.
ow, my helmet. better grab my face

I think most people here thought they would finish lower than last season (13th in the East with 80 points).
So they are actually better than we thought they'd be.
(And I know what you're saying - they have some really ugly stat lines and this probably breaks the spreadsheets, but sometimes shit happens when it...shouldn't?).
