Washington Capitals 2011-2012 Ongoing Thread

last game we were unlucky with the posts, this game the rangers were unlucky with the posts, though ovy hit the post as well. excellent, excellent win tonight. going back to dc tied at 1-1. loving the production of the 4th line

I'd like to see us hang 8 on someone every now and then, but i'll take the win. ovi had a great 4 second shot.

I lol'd hard. Very much lol'd

Holtby had 0 ****s to give lol. Awesome.

Last night's game was great. Really nice to see the Caps steal at least one on the road from the Rangers. Now we just need to take care of business on our end and we'll be good. I don't see any reason we can't beat the Rangers this series.

Only reason I see is that we aren't generating enough offense. With Hunter seemingly hell-bent on keeping Ovi off the ice with a lead we're giving up a good chance at putting away games. If this team actually ends up getting deeper into the playoffs it will be on the back of one-goal wins. We get a lead and Hunter's first move is to go into "protect at all costs" mode. That works in the 3rd but in the 1st and 2nd we need to be putting some pressure on the Rangers.

Got to play to win in hockey.

if ovi knew how to play defense and didn't look lost, he'd spend less time on the bench. they showed WHY he wasn't in the game during some spots in the bruins series - that video wasn't very flattering.

Wow. Tough triple OT loss. Watched the entire game.

Same here. I got tired just watching it, I don't think I'll ever feel what the players felt like after that game. It's very disappointing to play almost 6 periods and come away with nothing to show for it.
