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."

      I’m gonna say it… I’m proud of Bryce.

      Y'all are funny. and dumb. The argument I am seeing now if he can only be considered good if he WRs are trash or the play call has to make it hard for him? WTF haha

      No it's not, there isn't a single coach who's only job is to win games, because no coach is going to win games unless they're also improving the quality of play out of their players. For coaches with contending teams, winning is their #1 job, but I think it's a more than reasonable take to say that coaches of not yet contending teams winning comes second to making your players better. We have 11 games left, if you gave me the option of winning all 11 of the games in terribly ugly fashion to where we don't improve the quality of our players vs we lose all 11 games, but do so in spectacular fashion where our players show significant improvement, I'm taking option B every time. Because option B is the path to future and long term success, while option A is a path to short term happiness at the expense of long term franchise stability.   And yes, that is clearly an extreme example that could never actually play out in either way, but you still know what I mean.  And no, it has nothing to do with draft position, it's about how good will these players be a year, 2 years, 3 years, etc, down the line, when you hope to be a true contending team, because nobody actually thinks we're that type of team this year unless you're literally crazy
