Apoc Wrote:The ironic thing about it is their defense hasn't been that bad. I personally think Green has been horrible, but the rest of the defense has played fairly well. Aside from a couple shaky goals, which were mostly Theos, the goaltending has kept them in a lot of games they shouldn't have been in.
Yup. Add to that the fact that the Caps have yet to play one game where they've given 60 minutes worth of effort and it's just downright aggravating. Really the only consistent players they've had this series have been Backstrom/Ovechkin/Fehr/Carlson. They just seem to think that they can still get by as they did in the regular season, floating for a period or two and then turning it on and winning the game.
Oh, and for the love of god please do something about the powerplay. It is infuriating to watch Green receive a pass at the blue line, take a huge unnecessary windup, and then either turn the puck over or take a shot thats going to be blocked. Or, Semin along the sideboards where he either tries to force a pass to someone that is picked off or takes a shot that has zero chance to get by Halak.
