I only care what 2 time SC Goody does in the playoffs. That’s what he’s here for.

[@shawnlewin9057]

5v5 scoring 😁

[@Royale_withcheeze]

Gotta love the Caps depth on defense, when 2 of their top 6 didn’t play in Game 1

[@dotconnector76]

Did anyone see that all the teams over 50% in the faceoff won game 1?

[@Mr.Eeeeeeeee]

The good: - Coaching - not enough credit is given to Lav for sticking with Rempe. He could've sat Rempe after the penalty but kept rolling him out there. Also, we have not turtled as much this year with the lead. Last two years we got bounced due to the lack of killer instinct. This year feels very different with this coaching staff. - Igor - didn't have to stand on his head but made some key saves on HDC. As long as we don't give up HDC, we have nothing to worry about on the back end. - Defense - gave up very little HDC. Need to do a better job of getting the puck out of the zone quickly. - 4th line - boy did they deliver. These guys looked completely different making tic-tac-toe passes. Takes a ton of pressure off our top guys if they can keep generating some offensive pressure. - 5v5 scoring - this is obvious but lots of pundits were counting us out due to our lack of offense 5v5. - Physicality - we absolutely ragdolled them all game with their bodies strewn around the ice. Need to be prepared next game as Caps will not allow us to do this again. The bad: - Reffing - They called every little thing early on and virtually nothing after. I know they want to keep control of the game but be consistent. The ugly: - This is nitpicking but took too many penalties. Caps have a dangerous PP (1st since ASB) and we cannot gift them chances to score. - PP - Only had two opportunities but still did not look great. Lots of passing, lack of shooting. - Caps chippy play - this will absolutely be a factor in the series. I'm afraid of behind the play shenanigans. Remember when Strome was crosschecked and got hurt against the Lighting in game 4? The type of incident that can derail our cup run. Need to be very vigilant.

Ppl need to understand miller is still learning to be a DMAN he was a foward for most of his playing life

[@dankdill8286]

I don’t really think that’s a factor at this stage. I believe more so what was happening was that Miller was adapting to Laviolette’s system. He employs a lot of pinches from the D to support an offensive attack, but you need to know when to pinch. I just think it took him awhile to get in that groove

I would like to find a way to keep gus
