Embarrassing shit with the season on the line. I wish I didn’t go to this game.
fucking ass game behind a fucking paywall during the NMIXX concert, glad I missed out on that shit
It’s Capover
let’s lose out the rest of the season and make sure toronto doesn’t get a top 5 pick just for the laughs
On to the next game
Caps need to shed the dead weight in the off-season. I would even go as far as moving on from Strome. Caps desperately need a #1 C. Ntm some fire power
Letting LT down after a Vezina caliber season
Just a mediocre team.
Season on the line, many of the other games going the way we need them to, and this is how we perform. Atrocious.
You can’t lose that game. You have to play that like it’s game 7 of the final. Jfc
It is how it is sometimes I’m afraid.
They just weren’t going to be perfect down the stretch. And it wasn’t their night
Can’t wait to see Strome in a package deal for Matthews
Good. Didn’t want to have to fork over $$$ for one embarrassing round of playoff games.
Absolutely embarrassing from a team that would want you to think is fighting for a playoff spot
Wtf was that.
Needed it. Fuck lol
Am i inconsolable? Sure. Will i ever give up until 19:59 in the third on april 14th? No shot
Season hasn’t ended yet
This team pisses me off. A scrappy win a couple days ago, followed by virtually every matchup going the caps way yesterday, and they managed to translate exactly none of that momentum into a good game.
I’m concerned about the teams leadership. There doesn’t seem to be anyone in that locker room who can rally the team in big moments. I know some fans dont mind them losing for a better pick, but under no circumstances do I want the players to be ok with that.
I wonder if Lindgren gets moved this summer. One start in Feb (Olympics, not a nig thing), but then he also only had one start in March.
Ovi has outscored everyone on the Devils team this season to date. That’s extremely impressive as he is almost a decade older than everyone on that team. Was getting into it with a Devils fan on Ovi’s record. Either way you put it, Allen was a wall tonight. Caps had many shots from where I was sitting and it didn’t go their way. LT let it open early and they capitalized. Sad day, but such is life.
Sucks they used their one loss on NJ. Guess they gotta rip buffalo a new asshole.
