  1. Just want to hop in here and say that it’s just the first game of the season, it’s fine.

  2. Special teams shit the bed.

    PP was soft and PK was straight garbage.

    Either way, 18 shots in goal ain’t gonna do it.

  3. Bring back Miro and Haman Aktell. Get LuJo, Malenstyn and Mantha off the roster. Move McMichael to Center. Move Kuznetsov down. Put Strome back on the top line between Ovechkin and Wilson.

  4. rough game. on to the next.

    that was definitely a capitals hockey game and i know that for a fact.

    mikey and osh with some good chances. this game goes much differently if those were scored

  5. 2018 and 2019 were so fucking validating as a DC sports fan that we could have nice things sometimes, but goddamn I swear we’ve just been immediately choke-slammed back to reality after decades of disappointment

  6. This team is just so tough to be fan of lately. Revolving door of coaches/bad hires. Refusal to let young players play. And signing bad contracts and old players. This team is slowwwww and it showed tonight. Mantha/Kuzy/Backy/Oshie contracts are killing this team.

  7. Did anyone else see that ESPN postgame discussion on what they ate for lunch and salads?? What an absolute joke

  8. That one possession where we literally skated circles around Pittsburgh in their own zone for 2+ minutes without registering anything close to a shot is going to be something I think about all season. It may be an omen for the season. We’ve improved in some aspects but we still can’t figure out how to capitalize on chances. Nobody is scary from an offensive perspective on the Caps.

  9. Did anyone feel we were good the first 8mins, then began to fall back into our old habits the rest of the game??
