I have watched the better part of all three games this season and my conclusion at this point is that the Caps stink. Yeah, I get there is a new coach and a new system and sure there will be some time to adjust to it but this is hockey and it's not like reinventing the game.
I am seeing dumb penalties and just a general lack of effort out there. The top line guys seem out of sorts. I don't see much movement on the PP. The PK sucks. These guys are sinking fast and it shows. Four Canadien goals in the second period did them in. Neuvy played pretty well but just not enough help from his teammates. Guys not clearing out the crease. Too often there are guys in front of our goalie with no defender in sight. On the opposite end we get some shots but very few are quality shots. We aren't testing the other teams goalies. No traffic in front.
The boo birds were out loud and often last night and deservedly so. This team desperately needs to get it together and show some life. I'm not even talking about a win but just some aggressive play. For the first time in some time, I am watching these guys and thinking we don't have a chance. Just lackluster boring play. They are at it again tonight in NJ and they need to get something going soon. Hopefully we see some inspired play tonight.
