This is feeling a lot like the Pens-Caps game the other day.

Washington really has to do something about these lovely starts. It's great that they sort poo poo out by the end of the 2nd period, but you sometimes don't get that long in the playoffs.

Yeah if the Rangers can't stop shooting themselves in the foot they won't get anywhere against the better teams in the league. The Caps are good enough you don't need to give them better chances by trying to go deep on a short handed chance for fucks sake.

I think the Caps are just disinterested at this point. Score adjusted possession numbers suck in the first but are really good in the second and third. Not sure if other teams vary that wildly in score adjusted possession (obviously non adjusted possession rates are worse when turtling)

I doubt they're "disinterested" just because they're not dominating every game from start to finish loving lol

they're a great team but they're not that good

Surely someone in the Caps front office has to notice how often 44 is on the ice for goals...

Orpik is just so bad. It was unlucky but he ALWAYS is either screening Holtby or deflecting pucks into dangerous areas

One thing I've noticed about McD this year is he's atrocious at keeping the puck in at the point.
