This pathetic loss had nothing to do with refs. 

 

This team quit playing...and it is embarrassing. 

Did they? They checked pretty tightly and held the Caps to 6 shots in the 3rd. They were still skating hard. The D's timing was just a tenth of a second off on Kempny's two shots. They blocked Markstrom from seeing the puck and didn't manage the blocks. 9 times out of 10, either the D makes contact or Markstrom stops those.

This falls on Green. Can't prepare the team to play a 60-minute game for 5 games now. He should've called a timeout at 5-4 or even pulled Markstrom. We lost because we stopped playing, and Green did not do anything until it was too late.

Not just him. How many times can he pull out a rabbit out his rear end like he did vs  NYR

 

The team completely stopped playing. They were headed for the showers before they came out for the 3rd.

 

Coaches as well. Why didn't Green pull Marky when he was clearly fighting the puck. 

 

Everyone goalie on out to players to coaches packed it in thinking it was over after 2 periods.

 

It's OK though. 

 

Young team. It's a learning experience. Teams have to learn to win and this was a very good learning moment for them.  And they got a point vs a legit Stanley Cup contender. 

 

Put it behind and move on to Panthers game Monday. 

7 shots for Washington in the 3rd 3 went in, this loss is on Marky AND the team.

the perfect time to call a time out was when they scored a shorthanded goal to make it 5-3. We were still on the PP, but Green couldn't read what was happening with the momentum shifting.

We imploded in the third, and that hurts. No excuses for blowing a 4 goal lead despite some poor officiating. 
 

Shows that We still have a lot to learn. Hopefully this is a wake up call and a lesson that the Canucks cannot sit back in the third; they did that against the Rangers and fortunately Marky was on that night and got us the win. This time, Marky had a poor game and couldn’t bail us out. 
 

This will leave a bitter taste in my mouth for a while. But sometimes you have to learn the hard way.
