Fairly even game. The difference was Demko outplayed Sammy.
Demko's positioning was very good. Sammy not so much.
b2b afternoon games in January with travel in between
I was not expecting a buzzsaw effort
Not worried about standings. Caps still on well over a 100 point pace.
the issue is play and getting better. I don’t see any players “improving” as the season goes on. In fact, I see some players decreasing. Not good.
They need a spark - or a goaltender who can come in and be the number 1 guy. I don’t think any of our goalies can steal a series at all right now... and sometimes you need goaltending to make up for the other stuff.
We are losing to mediocre and bad teams. If they keep playing like this there will be some more beat downs ahead for this team.
Yeah but ... opponents had almost identical previous day's games + travel. The 'nucks' buzzsaw > Caps' effort.
There are some very nice members here but there also some that aren't nice at all.
Sorry guys but this might be the most hostil message board on the site.
Ovechkin….nursing an injury…on the second of a back to back…leads all forwards in ice time. Genius level coaching.
Totally agree that he is our best offensive threat. He is a legend. And yeah it sucks our other forwards are not stepping it up. That’s why we were so good early on in the season.An injured Ovechkin is still better than the rest of the team. 1 goal and 7 shots on net, not bad for a 36 year old guy who was listed as TBD before the game. Others need to wake up and start pulling their weight again.
Wilson’s been a bit more productive lately but we need more from others. Kuzy had 2 assists which is great, but 0 shots on goal with 21 minutes of ice time.
Our 3rd line with Eller is non-existant. They’re getting less ice time than the Dowd line.
The forwards are not even the most concerning part. Our transitions are not as clean as they were earlier this season, and you never know what you’re getting with the shitty goaltending that we get most nights.
No there isn't worse. People here look down at everyone.
Boston fans are some of the most knowledgeable fans on the forum.
The only team you mentioned that might have fans similar to ours is the Penguins.

don't feed the trolllol
I don't think there's a fanbase deeper into their own kool aid, personally.
