LOL...I said the same thing. VERY stupid...just drop back. And that will be a hat trick for Nash. The man is a BEAST this season.
Never easy...post on a wide open net, now a PP Caps which means 6 on 4. Stepan has been great. He has become that # 1 C we needed. 65/70 point guy. Still needs to show this over a full season, but so far he has taken that next step this season. And Brass is a real # 2 also.
Great win tonight. Sluggish to start the 3rd for sure, but outside of that really a strong game. Nash is a beast. Stepan is playing like a true # 1. Brass is playing like a true # 2. 7 straight W's. 8 after we beat the awful Devs Saturday night. Team is rolling. All along I felt this was a very good team, and they are. Not dominant or the best, but very good, and with the right player at the trade DL we can win a cup this season.
They're playing well but there's still a lack of balance at forward just watching them. And McDonagh has to pick up his game as they get past the new year.
Speaking of the Devs, my lord they are awful. No doubt one of the worst 4 or 5 teams in the NHL...maybe 3rd or 4th worst. Dominated by the Canes at home tonight. We better get that win on Saturday night before we head to Dallas for a tough game. Need 8...
Oh stop sc...McDonagh is back on his game the past 4 or 5 games. Zucc has come alive. Miller has added some depth upfront. I think we can still use another forward, but this is a very solid team...accept it....
Three straight ugly wins. Got lucky in the third because of the caps stupidity. Hank has played well but for the love of god, can hank stop letting in soft goals.
Terrible third but they built a big enough lead. At this point, as long as they keep getting 2 points to erase the first quarter of the year where they stunk. Hunwick was terrible in the third. He's too small. Moore would have been a ton better against the Craps bigger forwards. Hunwick was responsible for most of the pressure in the third on those long shifts.
Again, it is not a very solid team until they can prove they can play against the better offensive teams which they have not done by any stretch this year. They have been destroyed vs. Tampa, Toronto and the Islanders.
I kind of disagree Step. Tonight was not ugly. YES the Caps played well in the 3rd, but totally controlled the game prior to that, and then the dreaded 3 goal lead. We rebounded after it was 3-2 and took it with total control late due to PP's. So I disagree. Tonight was a good solid win over a good solid team. Played down to the Canes level over the weekend, but tonight we played well I think.
Chuck you're too easy fooled by a streak. Yes they're a pretty good team but they're relying on three rookies and Hunwick to round out a not overly strong or skilled lineup.
