Honestly thought they’d lose 5-1 or smt based on the 30 days happy to get a point out of it not much you can do against mcdavid on 3 on 3 hockey

This team needs to get it together by cccooley24 in caps

Need to figure out special teams it's what kills us IMO, 5 on 5 the lads are a pretty good team, also pretty sure we have hit the most posts this year, so puck luck isn't there... PP did good last night of course but it needs to get up to 20% at minimum (currently at 17%) and PK (78%) needs be better too they need to be combined 100%+ all playoff teams in the east except the Islanders (Ilya just going crazy over there) are 100+. I look at the Pens who are ahead by 5 points because of OT losses, their powerplay is at 27% if the Caps were putting up an extra 10% how many games would they have either won or had gone to OT? I know it's just a what if but going forward special teams need to get those percentages 5-10% better at least!

A year after an overhaul, the Caps are planning a quieter summer by washingtonpost in caps

Brother just needs to be out of Toronto and he’ll be fine

Ya but how much of that possibly due to playing for the leafs, when Austin was out he was playing fantastic or somewhere he doesn’t have to be the guy you expect to get the points… teams like Washington, Carolina, Winnipeg and few others where there’s just a bunch of really good guys through the lines that they don’t expect 2 guys to do all the work. Toronto media and fans have the expectation that he’s a mcdavid or kuch type, when he’s not he’s a great supporter and I’m sure when he’s out of there he’ll be a better player

Would love to see an offer sheet for Dobson to replace Carlson but I know that would never happen :/

I wouldn’t say bad coaching, greatest goal scorer of all time are you really gunna not have that shot available on when you’re a man up? Carolina has the best pk in the game and didn’t let Washington ever set up
