You don’t get gifted a better chance then that against Washington. We’d probably face the worst Capitals lineup in any game this entire season both before and after this match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping we might squeak in to the playoffs and then...who knows? Because of that momentum thing I talk about and the fact that we have Demko. Under current circumstances? Our top players have to start scoring some points, plain and simple. If any of them get hot, things can starting looking a whole lot different. But they aren't trash as some would have us believe.

Team is going to get hot to take us there. Round 2 exit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timråfan Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I like the time, now I don’t have to be like a zombie tomorrow. Horvat/Petey/Höglander will cause a mayhem tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oshie and Carlsson are out. Still that's a big loss for caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even pushing B. Without him firing on all cylinders, we're probably on the opposite end of C and straddling D. We're certainly not the E we were playing like for the first couple months though.

Playing the best teams is exposing their deficiencies. It's not a coaching problem, it's a player personnel problem. They just aren't good enough yet. Benning was desperate and made some poor decisions, and now here we are. Waiting for JR and crew to make the improvements. I think JB's biggest mistake was working so hard to get out of contracts while improving the overall skill of the forwards and bringing in a bunch of Dmen he kind of glazed over the bottom 6 hoping it would all come together. It didn't. On paper our PP should be pretty awesome but it's gut wrenching to watch. Someone has to get through to these guys to shoot the puck. Hughes needs to shoot a bit more but Petterson especially. I'd also take Bo off and put Garland or Podz in there. If Bo isn't getting that bumper pass he's not much of a PP guy.

EP was neck and neck with Aho. If EP took the next step and starts to dominate his competition like Aho, we would be a top 10 team. I think we have very good support pieces but it assumes EP-QH-TD delivering. So far, QH and TD are delivering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need to be that good to make the playoffs. We need to beat the ducks of the league and the flyers of the league. I agree. We played ok against the Panthers, good against the Lightning and I think outclassed against the Hurricanes. I didn't see a point where we just gave up and floated which is the most important thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO several of our top players were quite upset with our owner’s decisions no after the 2020 bubble. Now our owner adds the postponed games so he can profit more.
