2. So fucking annoying

3. Got goalie’d by Lindgren. It happens; move on to the next game

4. Honestly, what can you even say? It was blueballs in hockey form, Kings did everything except get that 2nd goal, just got goalied to the extreme. Shit happens, they’ll recover. I only wish we didn’t have to sit here and stew about it until fucking Sunday before the next game!

5. Solid effort. Disappointing to not get a point out of that game

6. Go Kongs Go!

7. I don’t think I have ever seen them play better than that third period

8. I mean that was one of the better games we’ve played, just got goalied. And Englund and Roy had bad plays for the first time in a while. Really unfortunate considering there is ANOTHER 3 day gap…

   Painful execution in the final minutes.. Doughty and Kopi were dreadful there.

9. I’m way more scared of some obscure backup than a Vezina candidate

10. That game has fuckey written all over it. Total trap game. Out shot, out played them, and they still got the W.

11. SCREW YOU AND YOUR DUMB RULES.

12. Literally the opposite of Puck luck. Figured the caps would win after they lost to the sharks, kings deserved to win but sometimes the hockey gods decide something else.

13. Some nights, you play your heart out and their goalie is a beast. Caps stole one, and Lindgren better not pay for his own drinks the rest of the road trip.

14. Meh

    Dominated and got unlucky against a well structured bunker team

    This game shows we cannot trade Clarke under any circumstance. He is the type of player who turns this from a loss to a win

    We have the best passing in the league but only Kempe and Kaliyev are true shoot first guys. This was the type of game where we tried to pass it into the net when you wanted a Clarke to just take over

15. Games like this happen. On to the next one. GKG

16. Lindgren was a brick wall. Thats all I have to say

17. Sometimes you get goalied 🤷‍♂️

18. If you look up “goalied” in the dictionary this is what you see. We were by far the better team, but we made a couple mistakes and the Caps took advantage

19. Irritating, but not really mad. The boys played their nuts off and did tie it unofficially. Goalie stood on his head, I feel like that’s a win most nights. That’s how she goes sometimes.

    On to the next. GKG

20. I think Lindgren lands up stealing the starting role from Keumper. He’s absolutely killing it this year. Gotta hand it to him. Robbed the hell out of us.

21. Frustrating. Got goalied. Guys threw everything at him.

    BS offsides rule needs to be amended.

    Gonna lose some. Guys fought hard. If you’re freaking out and questioning their fight tonight you’re lost.

22. There is nothing to feel bad about with this loss. We dominated and were by far the better team. We worked very hard to tie it up and it got called back. Their goaltender stood on his head. You play like that and 9 times out 10 you win. This was the one time you don’t. This team is damn good. Pretty much wherever we lose this season we are still the better team. Park it and move on to the next. It’s just too bad there’s so many damn days off between games this season so far.

23. another game vs a team with a pulse and we can’t pull thru. Dubois looked like dogshit, refs even tried to give us the game. When looking too cute goes wrong.

24. I’m not mad at all. Sometimes goalies will steal games. We just need to keep doing our thing.

25. Getting goalied bye a no name like Lindgreen sucks. Also, Spence doesnt move me.

26. GG WP Caps (Lindgren). Kings can look back at tonight and know it wasn’t their fault.

27. Good lord Lindgren take a bow

28. Worst part of this is that now we have to beat the Avs if we don’t want to start a losing streak. This was supposed to be an easy two points against an extremely old team.

    Of course when Vegas, Vancouver, NY, and Boston all lose we have to play down to a shitty team like the Caps and lose so that we don’t gain any ground.

    The tide is starting to turn on Dubois at this point. I’ve been very patient with him, but that contract gets uglier and uglier every game. He’s non-existent out there. He has one or two drives to the net that look flashy but ultimately don’t result in anything per game and then fades into the background never to be seen again.

    I thought we were getting an all star caliber player. We gave up Vilardi and Iafallo for *this*? Disaster contract if he doesn’t turn things around *soon*. I wonder how long before the media turns on him and he decides he doesn’t give a shit about the team anymore and wants a trade. Clocks ticking.

29. the entire caps team owes Lindgren a 24-pack. one per player

30. Sucks we lost but it was an amazing game

31. Man that sucked. Hard to get too mad though, it wasn’t for a lack of effort.

    Unbelievable performance by Lindgren combined with a technically correct but really frustrating overturned goal, some bad bounces, and an opponent that just put all of their effort into collapsing down and blocking fucking everything.

32. Bah. Could/should have won that one.

33. *smells a loss and comes out of the woodwork*

    Fire TMac!
    Dubious trade was a disaster!
    Byfield didn’t score once!
    When are we going to fix our disaster goaltending!

    *Crawls back under a rock*

34. This team rocks and rolls. The Capitals are not that good of a team. We just had no puck luck today. Called back goal. Nothing went the Kings way and it wasn’t meant to be. People can keep underestimating this team. We’re contenders and it’ll show come playoffs. Shake it off, Kings. Long week next week with 5 games in 8 days.
