In this edition of Locked on Capitals Dan talks about the Caps most recent loss. This one to the Toronto Maple Leafs. It was a game that saw that Capitals get the lead early by a Nick Backstrom. That lead was shot lived however as it was reviewed and deemed to have had goalie interference. That started the negative wheels in motion as the Capitals drop to 1-3-1 on the season. Later Dan talks about the historic night for Alex Ovechkin as he scored a goal and had 14 shots on goal. It was his career 300th power play goals and it also tied him with Gordie Howe for the most era-adjusted goals of all time. In the last segment Dan talks about how Hunter Shepard will get his first ever NHL start against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night.

Season is over imo. This team is helpless. A product of a lot of bad contracts by GMBM
Definitely not the start I was expecting. It’s been interesting to say the least. I do think trying to implement such a scheme change is challenging so I’m just going to sit back and let’s see what happens. Just piecing things together.
14 SOG is atrocious. How many missed the mark? Probably had 20 total shots. I'm sorry but Ovechkin is done. Quality over quantity. Toronto only had 17 shots and had 4 goals. Shooting from everywhere and anywhere just doesn't work.
Ovi needs a 2 goal game and get going this is atrocious trade him or help him get him that goal record having terrible players doesn’t help get some play makers
One game they’re getting the shots, but not the goaltending, the next they seem to be able to comeback. Etc, need to get the good things to happen at the same time. Win two in a row and they’re .500. Being early in the season I can see it happen cause Ovechkin is still great. It doesn’t look good, but I think they should give the team 10 games before any drastic changes.
Ovi needs to go on a 3 month “injury”vacation and do a boot camp that would make Rocky Balboa jealous.
Capitals are officially insane.
Trying the same thing over and over and expecting different
There’s no leadership.
Ovi looks depressed and Wilson looks sad too.
Someone needs to start hitting and yelling!!!!!
The caps have the worst management.
They let the assets value of certain players like kuznetsov and mantha drop before trading.
Who are the capitals top 3 players??
No body knows
Wilson needs to show he is ready for the Captains role and step up and lead this team!!!
Get physical!!!
These comments are all depressing, not very “fan” like… my favorite- “the season is over imo” I laughed out loud, I may be the optimist and try to see / figure out what what we’re working with, as I’m sure the team is. But season over, already?!? Geez man. The irony is we have some of the best career players, and kids that have never played an nhl game before. Tough mix if ppl aren’t “meshing” Idk why, but I hated the lines last night, none of them clicked, so I hope they change that up. …ovi’s shots on goal was kinda scary and don’t wanna see that many misses again. I see how him not giving up is an example, but it’s Ovi! …coulda gotten a couple more of those in. Leafs were piled up in front of net almost every time. Dan love your optimism. As they say in football, “any given day of the week (Sunday)” lol. POSITIVE momentum is def what we need also.
I’m hopeful tonight’s change in goal will be a spark for this team.
The offense was working well last night even so they scored only once but 3 goals on 9 shots from the Leafs ?? Washington needs to get the goalie issue fixed!!!!
One thing I noticed last night….. That was a SILENT barn. The crowd was not at all into the game, and you could hear a pen drop I swear.
Carlson has been the only consistent player so far. Some key guys need to step up and lead. Wilson, fresh off signing an extension mind you, TvR and Jensen need to get things going. You can only point to the positive stories with the young guys in Phillips Haman-Aktell and McMichael so much. I think it's time for a players only meeting held by the captain.
The last thing Mac needs to do is panic. He’ll hopefully keep the long term growth of the team in mind. In my opinion, the team has until the trade deadline to put something together. If they don’t, major change is coming. Let’s face it-we knew there was a good chance the Caps would struggle, but we also hoped for a surprise. There’s still time, and the Leaf’s game was a major improvement. Let’s hope the trajectory stays that way…
