  1. CheetahJaguar90

    Of course its not Gi When its against us

  2. AnaheimCapitals

    seems like Sheppard overreacts quite a bit.

  3. Did the ESPN app mess up? I am unable to watch, Pretty sure I got a notification of an Ovi goal then I clicked the notification and nope.

  4. _StrudelBob_

    I’m going to Friday’s game. Something tells me I won’t have a good time.

  5. #PUNCH SOMEONE. MAKE SOME CHAOS. CHANGE THE GAME

  6. BallsMahogany_redux

    Well if I had to pick which game I’d rather win, obviously it’s last night against the Pens, but this is so frustrating because this has been a very winnable game without Jensen and Shepard competing to see who can suck the most.

  7. Aware-Leading-1213

    Allowing that goal right after they tied the game was a killer.

  8. PigJiggin

    Jensen is a defensive black hole. I don’t know why we continue with the Phillips experiment, he’s got decent hands and speed but he doesn’t have the size and strength to play at the NHL level. Hasn’t contributed offensively basically since October.

  9. Hightowerer

    How many times has Carlson given the puck up tonight?

  10. deepfriedpoutine

    This game just continues to be so frustrating. I don’t want to blame Shepard but he’s basically the reason we’re losing. The turnovers don’t help but holy hell man we need Lindgren back. Amateur hour in the crease and with the Carlson turnovers

  11. BallsMahogany_redux

    Hopefully the past two days have shut up the “Trade Kuemper” crowd.

  12. They lost their fire… either the tie goal breaker took wind out of them or b2b with a well rested team showing up..

  13. HeyMarty10thDude

    It’s always a mystery where the game will be.

  14. Slimy_Butt

    Why can’t we move around the puck consistently like everyone does against us? The amount of dumb passes that get immediately taken away is crazy

  15. capitarider

    Jensen was SO good for like 2 seasons, he’s regressed to the guy I yell about every second. Shep is not it tonight either. This was 100% a winnable game when it was 3-3. Garbage.

  16. Hightowerer

    And that’s why the drop the stick immediately when broken is the dumbest fucking rule

  17. I would recommend not going in on our goalie if your team is from the NY/NJ area

  18. BallsMahogany_redux

    Shepard is poop.

    I don’t wanna hear any more Darcy slander.

  19. Hightowerer

    I’m just happy this will shut everyone up about Sheppard > Kuemper

  20. Aware-Leading-1213

    Another 3 goal loss… 10th game we lose by 3 goals or more.

  21. JerBear81

    Caps stopped attacking the puck from all angles. Need more guys to step up on secondary chances.

  22. maLeFxcTor

    Shep ain’t it. I know he’s only here cause Lindgren is hurt but I’ve seen just about enough of him.

  23. TheBarbieOfSeville

    they stopped serving beer at the 2nd intermission or else I’d have grabbed another this is very difficult to watch in person sober

  24. The-Peoples-CHUMP

    Winnable game if we had either Darcy or chucky back there

  25. SlappinCh33ks

    And y’all really thought we would survive with a Lindgren + Shepard combo

  26. bleached_n_tiedyed

    This was a winnable game if shep doesn’t let that soft one in

  27. Slimy_Butt

    All the stats that show how we suck and are worse than our record is gonna come down on us like a ton of bricks. Either get way better or put this team out of its misery. Man this shit gets to me

  28. FatBoySpeaks

    As I’m leaving the game, I’d just like to say. If Jensen and Phillips play next game, I’m losing faith in carberry. I give him the benefit of the doubt a lot, but I’m through with the Phillips experiment and the Jensen contract

  29. deepfriedpoutine

    Don’t ever wanna see this fella Shepard again. I’m disappointed like an alcoholic father to his son.

  30. CrunchyZebra

    Some really soft goals allowed tonight. Oof

  31. YellowMarkerIsGreat

    Please Lindgren come back asap and inject him with some toradol
