Not for nothing but everything has sucked since they got rid of Bruce
Backy should not be on the PP
This gives them a chance to draft Anton Silayev.
Remember when the GM said we are going to be competitive while OV is still on the team. Pepperidge Farms remembers!
We’ve actually played an OK game tonight but you can tell this team has zero confidence or juice right now. Age, injury, new coach, whatever it is, they are absolutely not feeling it out there.
I am sure there is no changed in the line up after 2. No changes needed i am guessing.
I like how we paid all this money for a decent goalie only for the rest of the team to go to shit
The Caps have actually played pretty well tonight. Just can’t seem to get past that brick wall called Jake Allen
Caps were shut out twice in 82 regular season games last year.
17 minutes away from matching that in 4 games this year.
Seems like Burke and Herbert Bank will not be donating too much money this year…
That call is ass.
We need to actually drive to the net and have more bodies in front. Montreal’s defense in front of the net is not that good IMO.
This power play is the most pitiful thing I’ve seen in a very long time fellas
Auuuugh so close!
Why are they so slow out there on the ice? Wheres the heart? Need more power and speed or this team wont achieve anything.. I bet ya they wont even score a goal today.. they need to not show up to any more games until they pulled themself out of the trashbin they are at the bottom at right now.. hory shet I never seen such weak will to win, or even score a goal.. wake tf up

Cookie nooooooooo. 😫
I agree, Spence.
Immediately get off a PK, immediately go back to a PK
That call is very ass.
Milano is the only bright spot on this team price me wrong
….. i really just put the habs jersey on…..
Super obvious boarding penalty totally ignored but gotta call a random arm bar by Akell because the fans demanded it.
missed crosscheck. OKAY REFS
#ENOUGH FUCKING PENALTIES
Not good
this team is hot garbage. i am not enjoying this at all
Ugh
I know the Caps have been generally awful so far this year, but we’ve been unlucky with the posts and the refs too.
Well, This isn’t fun at all.
Buckle up. It’s going to be a long one.
This team is so bad
FOR FUCKS SAKES
I mean these officials are clearly only interested in one thing tonight.
This team is trash, but these zebras are a joke.
When this gets out of hand the refs are to blame
So…looks like Tom Wilson will have to drop gloves with the ref.
AND NO EMBELLESHMENT WOOOWWWWWW
HOLY REFS
Radio commentators saying Matheson dove. “Mr. Flopzilla.” 😄
That was a dive and a half
Trying to break record for back to back to back to back penalties
So call everything on us and be wrong a little as well OK FINE I CAN DEAL WITH THAT PIECE.
BUT DON’T FUCKING MISS THEM SLASHING US THEN IF YOU’RE GONNA CALL LITERALLY EVERYTHING ON US
EDIT: THANK YOU, YOU FINALLY GOT ONE RIGHT
amazing refs
Thanks for the make up call after you make the third period as one-sided as you can
lol at the makeup calls now
*Washington Number 8 minor penalty for farting*
These calls are so weak
Bit of a makeup call there but I’ll take it the zebras are trash
Dude, I remember being so hyped for Tom Wilson to being able see his career go from 4th-line winger who some were calling a bust, to getting special teams time, to moving up the lineup and being a top-line guy.
Feels like he’s back to 2013 levels of play to start the year
*Washington number 77 minor penalty for sneezing*
