This 100%. I don't post a lot here anymore, but this post and the original post by Gaskal are spot on. Not only that, but the Caps ONLY seem to run those plays, and once our defense caught on... they shut it down with ease.
I was fortunate enough to attend the game live, and I too was watching that and it seems the theme of the Caps and now makes complete sense why they cant get out of rd 2 of the playoffs, they're very predictable even though highly skilled.
Mike Smith made some big stops, Giordano and Hamilton are special players. Jagr at age 90 will be better than 90% of the NHL, what a special player. Johnny and Monahan are quite possibly quietly becoming the best tandem in the entire NHL. Remember a few years ago when everyone wanted to trade Backlund? Yeah, about that...
Great game, this is a fun, fast, exciting team. Love the attitudes, just care free and having fun. This is a special lockeroom, don't be surprised if this team goes deep.
