They could not have picked a worse game to come up so small. Especially after 2 days off.

And after a spanking prior to those days off

Yep, that must be it. They aren't trying and don't want to win. Glad that's now been settled.

I swear, there are times I wonder if some of you can walk and chew gum.

Read may be gone in the offseason.

Well if Phoenix isn't going to take him for their cap floor I don't know who else would want him

The first of 4 games in 5 games. They're pacing themselves. Might not be the right strategy.

Giroux poop it right into Howard's chest not that big of a save.

Fear not. For not only this game, but the playoffs, are still within reach.

Im sure they will prove you wrong this weekend

Starts here, 4 on 4

Shh, no positivity allowed here

I really don't think it's effort. They just aren't clicking at all and and every pass seemed to bounce over their sticks in the first period.

Come on boys

Stick a fork in em

Yeah. How dare he not be 6'4 and 225 lbs.

Mike Richards played with much more heart

I'm going to the pens game Saturday so selfishly I want to see them clinch that day

I still assert that Jake even when he's feeling good 98% he has no idea what the hell he's doing or what the hell he wants to do with the puck

I really don't think it's effort. They just aren't clicking at all and and every pass seemed to bounce over their sticks in the first period.

That MacDonald breakout pass in Jake's skates. (frank).

that's what we said about the PItt game RIGHT RIGHT?

This game, no way. Playoffs, yes.
No matter what let's not lose sight of the fact that we are privileged to be in this postion to begin with.

only saw the end of the 2nd and up til now, looks to me that they've been competing ok, but Howard has played well

No second chances at all horrible work getting in the dirty greasy areas for the rebounds.

What a bizarre story with that guy. Beloved captain falls from grace and shipped off to LA where he wins two cups and then falls from grace again this time facing legal trouble and alleged drug abuse and now is trying to write a comeback story with washington

This game, no way. Playoffs, yes.

It's an honor

That MacDonald breakout pass in Jake's skates. (frank).
- Giroux_Is_God

It's weird. Even though they've been outplayed, it was two weird plays that put them down 2-0

I really don't think it's effort. They just aren't clicking at all and and every pass seemed to bounce over their sticks in the first period.

Yeah, I really think a lot of it is just mental and physically fatigue. They've been playing must win hockey for a month now. Also, with the condensed schedule they've been playing, you have to think some guys are nursing some injuries as well.

WTF Voracek? Act like you've handled a puck before.
