Will be interesting to see how the Caps adjust. They were thoroughly beaten in this game despite it going to OT and they knew it by getting chippy. If they lose game 2 they’re in a hole they might not be able to dig themselves out of. They played old and tired tonight and I think they might get swept. 

I'm not sure they can adjust.... the Canes team speed and forecheck just overwhelmed them.... This was on the road were the canes have had trouble establishing the forecheck in past playoffs.....

In Raleigh we're we line match.... yeah this series the canes are taking.

 

If we take game 2 I think the brooms come out.

Taking game 2 will be a challenge, you know Caps will bring thir best. Canes hit the iron 5 times in game 1 yet won, if they bring the same mojo for game 2 pucks will go in for a Canes win.

Although we dont have as much "firepower" as year past this Canes team has somthing we didn't have in years past which is size in the lower 6 that gives us two legit checking lines....  

In years past we only had the Staal line and on the road we would hemorrhage chances because we couldn't match them up like at home..   I firmly believe our poor regular season road woes were due to who we had in goal... 

19 road losses with a combination of Kochetkov,Tokarski and Martin in net..  

3 with Anderson (all coming at the end of the year when let's be honest we weren't trying to win)

We even have more size on the first two lines because of how Rod is playing them right now. 

Svechnikov is on line 1 with Aho and Blake

Hall and KK on line 2 with Tankoven

The MSJ line 

Forth line with Robinson, Jankowski and Carrier. 

 

They've got size on all 4 lines and it showed last night for sure.

I more or less meant "top 6 players" not were they were playing but yeah the size and physically paid dividends.

This might be my favorite quote from game 1. 

 

"the Hurricanes seem to have it for stretches long enough that you could get up out of your seat, wait in line for popcorn, hit the restroom and get back to the stands — and not miss a Capitals appearance in the offensive zone."

 

Washington post

Who gets food then goes to the bathroom with it.  Washington journalists a bunch of psychopaths.

    • Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others. 
    • I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
