Loading ...Yeah, so I watched regulation and half of the first OT in last night’s Caps-Flyers game.
The Caps, barring a miracle, are toast. Pahtoleipä. Труп. Erledigt. You get the picture.
The problem the Caps had last night is best summed up in the following video:
Not penalties per se–but sloppy penalties.
Now, I will freely admit that the penalty that Kimmo Timonen drew on Kozlov in the third was (as Ed Olczyk put it) a wrong call, and the interference call on Eminger in the first was iffy–but That Hasenfratz Putz was working the game, so I expected at least one or two blown calls. But the rest were just sloppiness on the part of the Caps. Two Too Many Men penalties are possibly the most glaring sign of a lack of cohesion on the Capitals’ bench right now. The Caps are in complete disarray right now, Huet is once again showing that he’s not really playoff material, and I expect the Pflyers to close them out on Saturday.
Memo to occasional (not to mention unintelligent and uncreative) troller capsfan88:
Yes, playoffs are fun–but actually winning a series? That’s even more fun.
Just sayin’.
The end of that game had a lot to say about two of the caps better players. Knuble got left alone at the far post because Green trapped himself behind the net as opposed to the post he was supposed to stick to and Ovi was watching the puck like a mite. Two bad defensive decisions = one goal. Good game though.
