if they play 60 minutes of hockey for once in this playoffs, this game is not 2:1. Yeah Iam an idiot, chuck.
Yandle totally backs off twice...step up man. And Boyle not checking the stick of his guy. As much on them as it is on a bad rebound by Hank.
If not for that goal he scored today, Boyle would be TOTALLY useless out there. If he's going to be this bad defensively, might as well dress another forward and play them lol.
I like Staal and Klein together. To me I think Hunwick should play over Boyle now. Yes he has a goal, but he is such a negative on D now. Outside of a decent shot, hard to say what Boyle is better at than Hunwick. Okay...moving on. Need to get the crowd back into it and get our focus back. Let's go.
Innocent play turned horrible... Boyle has to share some blame but the puck went right between his legs both times
Yandle should have slid there to block the shot, but he was more worried about getting beat outside and allowing an odd man rush. We look like pure crap this period.
I like Klein and Staal too, but that then leaves Yandle and Boyle who are basically the same player, both offensively talented dmen but bad defensively. You have to split up Staal and Klein, or dress Hunwick and scratch Boyle
It's not their size, it's the fact that we were EXTREMELY sloppy to start this period, and tried to be far too cute and missed great chances. You know that the Caps are gonna score, but you gotta capitalize on the chances you're given. We haven't done that this period.
Good bounce back period by the Caps, which was to be expected. We had a few good chances there at the end, and the final 4 shots of the period. We need to regroup and come out strong in the 3rd. 2 won't win this IMO, I think we'll need 1 more. Let's get it.
