Biggest game of the year and the Caps decide to take it off. Pathetic.

Hopefully the next time they decide not to show up, they'll let the people in the stadium know so the fans can go do other things with their night.
I'm just thankful I didn't spend any money to get downtown and watch that pile of crap they brought out tonight. It'd be one thing for them to lose 5-4, but 6-2? That's just ridiculous.
Then again, what did we really expect? This is the team that went down 3-1 against the Rangers, a team that couldn't find the net with a map, GPS, and On-Star guiding them through.

Holy SHIT... LOL.
Leave it to the Caps to really fuck this one up. I 100% agree with the above poster; a one point loss is fine. 6-2 is terrible.

Not only they were badly outplayed, they didn't show any heart - except for Ovie, as usually. Can you imagine any other team going down just like that, w/o any scrums, fights and 5 mins penalties in front of home crowd?

I wouldn't say they suck overall. After all, they were SE Conf. champs, made it two rounds deep in the playoffs, and took the Pens to 7 games. They just sucked last night. I guess Brucie didn't teach them that game 7 is not the time to mail it in.

The Caps have had a suspect defense all season, and it came home to roost last night. The team couldn't rely on a rookie goalie to carry them forever. He had a bad night and the rest of the team simply didn't step up on defense to help.
I have always had an issue with the hype about Mike Green being a top scoring defenseman. A scoring defenseman doesn't mean shit if for every goal you score you let two or three get past you. A defenseman who scores but who can't defend is like a tight end who can catch but who can't block or a safety who can blitz but who can't cover. It looks great on a highlights real for that player, but the team is going to lose in the end.

I can't argue with that, but having an inconsistent defense does not a sucky team make. If the offense can step up when the defense is having problems, you can still end up with a W. Problem was nobody stepped up in any fashion last night. Offense was weak, defense was weak, goalkeeping was weak. I didn't watch much past the first period, but from what I saw it looked like the Caps were almost panicked with the puck. It seemed that whenever a Cap got the puck, all he wanted to do was get rid of it as quickly as possible - usually right on to a Penguins player's stick. The Pens went for the throat and destroyed us.

Well, Green was +24 for the regular season (-5 for the playoffs though), so he's not as suspect as you think. The only player with a higher +/- was Semin with +25. In comparison, Ovetchkin was +8, Kozlov was -9, and even Schultz was +13 in the regular season. Make of that what you will, but we're certainly no New York Islanders. That's a team that sucks.

The problem with the Caps offense this whole series was the Penguins' defense. It seemed like many of the Caps goals were just dumb luck slapshots from out of the hinterlands. They didn't play very close to the net or pass much in the Penguins' zone because they would get picked off.

That's true. Nobody camped out in front of the net to capitalize on rebounds or deflected shots. Until the Caps are willing to get beaten up standing in front of the net either screening the goalie or battling for rebounds, we're going to be a rush-in, shoot, retreat team. Pitt figured out all they needed to do was stall us up at the blue line and we had no clue what to do.

The worst part of the game was watching OV give up on defense and let Pittsburgh score the sixth goal. I never thought I would see that from Number 8. It was very disappointing to see a great player call it quits like that with time left in the game.

I'd turned the game off by that point. By the second period, it was no longer a toss-up, the growth of my toenails was much more entertaining.

It was so blatant the play-by-play guys ran a replay in slow motion and commented on it. You could just see OV give up and skate away.

What are you talking about? He didn't give up on defense, he was looking to take a shot (in the Pens zone), lost the puck, then got tripped or fell (it was hard to tell). Sure, it was a bad play, but he didn't give up and he didn't "skate away" (he was flat on the ice).

I wasn't referring to the Crosby break away. Maybe it was the 5th goal. I'm talking about when OV was down by the Caps net and he stopped his pursuit and the Penguins came back around and flicked it in behind Theodore for a goal. OV just gave up on the play. It was sad.

Back in '98 they made it to the cup and lost...sure it was a great run...but they ended up getting run over and railroaded by Redwings. In the end, it didn't amount to much...an almost...but still, a fail. Same thing this year. SE champs...big deal...it's a weak division anyway IMO (except for maybe the Hurricanes). The comeback against New York was motivational. I was hoping they would do the same against the Pens, but they are no New York. The Pens had their number...CASE CLOSED!

what are you talking about dude? who made it to the cup in'99? neither washington nor pittsburgh. pittsburgh was ousted in the 2nd round and washington never even saw the light of playoffs that year. the stars beat the sabres for the cup.

Until the Caps get a Dale Hunter-like center to get in that crease, get physical, pound, grind, and get those garbage rebounds, they're the equivalent of a "run and shoot" team. I've seen a lot of Caps teams and this current crop has a LOT of potential. Hopefully the make a few tweaks personnel-wise, learn from this experience and go deeper next year. Of course, I've been thinking that for over 20 years.

The Caps got out-hustled the entire penguins series. Seems like every time a loose puck was bouncing around, a penguin outraced a Cap to get it. Happened over and over and over. How do you teach hustle?

One of my coworkers got a ticket to the game from our company, but had to give it back so the owner could take a customer to the game. I told him he could make a stab at the tickets but they were pretty pricey. He was a little upset about the whole thing, but got over it pretty quickly once he saw that the Capitals didn't make it to the game either.
