We were out at dinner with friends last night, so I'll be watching the re-air broadcast this afternoon. Raining all weekend, I don't feel guilty.

We played exactly like I thought we would. A confused first, a solid second and a dominant third. Which is the opposite of what the caps wanted us to. 
 

Frankly our first wasn’t even that bad, their first goal was TDA barely phoning it in, and Drury getting caught. You couldn’t beat their second goal even though Pyotr almost did. Nobody expects Ov to pass from his domain(slot).

Just rewatching the post game show to find Rod’s interview. Honestly, I don’t think Tripp was toasted last night. I think he had a toast over from New Years and the NY trip. NY is a dangerous city for him. 
 

Also Orlov definitely lost a toof. He was trying hard to hide it in the interview but number 10 is missing.

Like I said… TDA sighting… I know it wasn’t his guy to cover but like dude… 

To be fair, Backstrom was coming right down the slot behind TDA and had TDA taken the shooter, it would have been an easier goal from the front doorstep.

Yeah, he was lazy, but he knew better than to put himself way out of position trying to make up for it.

He missed the neutral zone puck check is what I’m saying though. The rest ya, super lazy. But he didn’t even try for that board battle. This is a team of board battlers… 

Over the middle we slack sometimes but on the boards in the neutral and D-Zone. Good luck.

Oh, I completely agree. Maybe that's why he spent most of the night on the bench after that.

3:53 TOI last night

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Drury's lack of awareness to cover his guy open in the middle of the ice is far worse.

Yes, TDA could have done better with the board battling, but there is no excuse for Drury to just be meandering on the boards behind the caps board player when the Caps player is clearly going to be the first one to the puck...

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
