Around the League Report

Spoiler!

Troy “Shankapotamus” Brouwer

BROUWER YOU HEEL. Please kill this with fire, Caps.

Jagr and Brouwer. A parade of the hated ex-Caps in DC tonight. I don't really hate Jagr, some of us do but I wasn't a Caps fan when he was on the team. Brouwer though, his stone hands and his "leadership" can go kick rocks.

Hahaha. Totally.

The original Shankapotamous.

Confident he doesn't score tonight. I would bet virtually anything…

Capitals Quadrophenia:
- Forsberg
- Varlamov
- Boudreau
- Brouwer/Jagr

Also I trashed Brouwer in last season's GDT before the game and he ended up scoring. Sorry for the incoming Brouwer 3 point night.

He hit the post against us last time we played the Flames.

Hit the nail on the head there. Flames fans already have him pinned him up as the local whipping boy for next THREE years

Johnny Hockey, Balloon Party Porcupine

Didn’t even have time to login to celebrate the first goal. Hell yes mr danish. Vrana does not want to get scratched again.

Damn! Holts didn't even flinch. Weird!

There goes the brilliant start…

Anyone else get slightly perturbed when "Johnny Hockey" name gets thrown out there? It’s like fingernails on a chalkboard..

People really think Gaudreau is a more exciting player than Kane? I don't see it, Kane can has amazing hands like Gaudreau and his shot is much better.

Kane might be flashier but he isn't as good all round.

Carlson is ####ing useless. Just stare at the puck in the crease

And Orpik and Carlson were both on the same side of the ice and no one was anywhere near the shooter but Holtby has to have that.

What were 44 and 74 doing?

Blown coverage by 44 on the goal by Gaudreau

Hey brooks, wanna line, try to catch Johnny at all? No? Okay cool.

Why was orpik over on othr side of ice? Gaudreau had clear lane

Well we seem to be getting the better start. Gotta kill this. And Orpik is a worker, but he cannot hang with a team that has a modicum of speed anymore.

The “Almighty” PP

So much offensive blah

JUST SHOOT!!! What is wrong with y’all??

KUZY SHOOT THE GODDAMN PUCK QUIT PASSING ACROSS THE ####ING PAINT

Clang...

That's an issue I've had with Kuzy for a couple seasons. He used to make some magical goals, but even when he has an open net now he just passes.

This reminds me of the time when that thing happened,

IDK what it is with this team wanting to make the highlight reel every time they get the puck.

Monahan vs PK

4 Caps just standing around looking around not tying up guys or knocking them on to the ice allowing guys to keep taking shots till they eventually score.

Charmin soft in our board battles

Goddam it! Holtby had it but didn’t realize.

Please just get it back guys.

Way to piss it away. This is frustrating

Caps looked like a herd of deer in the headlights. No fight for that puck!

A midget wacks away at your goalie and you don't plant him in the 3rd row ..... WTF kind of ******* do we have playing for this team???

Old Man Clinic

A 40-Something year old Jagr just out skated/worked Carlson .... WTF is going on with this guy? Except for the PP he'd barely be a good 5-6 defender.

Jagr and his line are putting on a cycling clinic and our young defense can't keep up... so funny.
I am at a really weird place. I want the Caps to be good and succeed but I also kind of hope that they continue to get trounced so changes will be made because right now every win seems to just push on the inevitable a little longer.

Jagr has that fat arse. No one can move the guy

Lets see ... we've stopped skating .. we're reaching and holding ... the Flames are dictating play ................ Yup, sounds like Caps Consistency.

Lady Gaga Concert Hangover

Lady Gaga played last night. Makes for ####ty ice. Not like good ice would have made any difference

Welp ... Ovie's seemingly take tonight off. F'in Half-Assin Prima Donna.

True [ … ]the turn over by Ovechkin set that up

Another game where some of our vets dont seem very motivated..

8 getting so many grade-A chances last 3 games.

Gotta think pucks will start going in again soon, and hopefully in bunches

Did Ovi forget how to score?

If he's not scoring goals he isn't doing **** out there, and he hasn't scored in like 9 games now.

Ovi might as well be in a rocking chair since he doesn't skate at all.

Backlund on the PP

Well ####.

Nice effort, holts

hear me out: Chaisson isn't nearly good enough to play in the NHL

pathetic

Way to bring it boys....garbage.

Good grief... do Caps struggle when they score first?

Participation mode.

Does this team care? God they suck

Looks like we are currently in full on participation mode

Gio steps on a gnat

Bs... on top of bs...

Hey team, let's #### ourselves while we #### ourselves!!!!!

Prediction: now we will start trying hard

So what are we good at this year? We aren't good on the PP, we aren't good on the PK, we take more penalties then we get, were not physical, were not solid defensively, we go stagnant 5v5, we don't make adjustments, and we aren't motivated. Is there anything we can hang our hat on?

Full scale implosion

Ok – I’m on board. It’s about time to chuck up ye olde dueces to Barry. Perhaps a quarter season coaching change would provide a spark, because this is garbage on ice.

Another chance to move up in the standings and they blow it. Game 7 mentality lives on.

Zero fight in these bums. #leadership


When the going gets tough, look ahead to the next game.

The Flames are a bunch of buttfaced miscreants.

GET OUT!

Flames are looking damn good, wish we had their team.

GET OUT >

Flames are 5-2 in November. They are miles ahead of us. This year is just freaking terrible

To be fair, their team is at least consistent. Just being slight better than average gives you a fighting chance in the Pacific.

And they can score more than 2 goals. We have McDavid netting 3 points and we STILL lose

fingers crossed OV puts giordano on the IR

stay classy...

Just tuned in to see Calgary go up 2-1 against Washington.

Commencing my continuation of binge watching Brooklyn 99.

Calgary will be up on us by 10 points soon. Just the sad way it is.

and he scores. Great sequence for Backlund. Has such a punchable face

I think Calgary would spank us right now.

Yep, never been so disappointed with a team in my life. And been cheering for this team for 30 years. It doesn't help watching the OOT scoreboard either. Other teams seem to overachieve with their assets (Flames).

Just had a look at the box score between Calgary and Washington. Another 5 mother****ing powerplays for Calgary so far when the Oilers didn't get one in 2 games against the Caps. 4-1 Flames. Barf.

Good teams earn PPs
