Yeah I don't get why they are getting so outplayed. Especially on defense they're always chasing always slightly out of position.

The weird thing is the series is 2-1 but I, and I bet most of you guys, still feel like game 4 is a must win; especially since the NHL did us no favors by having games 4 and 5 on back-to-back nights.

Where the hell has Mike Green gone to? Save for one game, he's had a pretty lousy postseason. The defense as a whole has really left a lot to be desired. We can't expect 35+ saves from Varly on a regular basis.

I think he's been on he's heels trying to defend so much the last few games that he hasn't been able to move up to take extra chances. At some point the other guys are going to have to pick up the slack and let him do his thing as far as scoring goes.

Re: NHL: Round Two, CAPS vs. pens

Bad performance last pm. No worries The CAPS are in the phone booth tonight with the series tied, we shall get revenge! WE NEED GAME 5 AT HOME.

No punishment for OVY....one good move by the NHL.

Varly has to shake off last pm's performance and the rest of the team has to STEP UP and play wide open 60 MINUTES of CAP/ phone booth style hockey!

I don't know if I'd say no worries. I don't feel too good about things right now. We need a big performance tonight.

Where oh where have you gone, Mike Green?

Re: NHL: Round Two, CAPS vs. pens

the caps just can't seem to win in overtime. good game by varly and the great 8 but overall not so good by the defense. if the caps can pull off a win in pitt. monday night then they'll have a good shot at winning game 7 but imo, the pens will take care of buisness and finish the caps off monday night.

Ovie and Varly can't do it alone. Where is Semin? Kozlov? Green?

I would say of the three Semin has been the biggest disappointment - he has completely disappeared after scoring 5 goals in the Rangers series. For the series I have seen a lot of people complain about the refs but overall it really looks like the Caps are out of gas and playing on their heels the whole time. It seems like someone from the Pens is camping out in front of Varly the whole game, yet noone on the Caps is screening the Pens goaltender that much. What is diappointing is I think Fleury is very beatable and we could have really gone on far. What sucks even more is I think Carolina is going to advance and we could have had home ice in the Eeastern Conference Finals as well.
