[Jfresh] Weirdest team in my opinion this year is the Caps: 3rd in 5v5 goal share, 12th in 5v5 xGoal share, 2nd in team goaltending, 4th in PDO, 31st in special teams, 9th in goal differential, 22nd in points %

it’s kinda crazy how a bad special teams can completely wipe out all the good work they do everywhere else.
Imagine they took 8 and 74 off of the powerplay. Also really need Wilson and Dubois back so we can get some of these passengers (Lapierre/Milano) off the starting lineup.
Why not just post the graphic and stats and credit JFresh rather than posting a screenshot?
This team has been so weird this season.
I’m kinda surprised they’re not DFL in special teams
The power play is definitely unraveling what would be an otherwise decent season. With a D+ power play, they would easily have 10-15 more points
this is why it won’t be surprising at all for the caps to get heat up, make the playoffs, and go on a run.
IF they get/stay healthy, and some prospects step up to replace some of our dead-weight.
yeah wtf
But I was told Forsythe was the issue with our power play.
Well, 3 PP goals in 22 games will lose you more games than you will win.
Honestly wish the Caps could decline penalties lol
