A better performance last night than the one in Carolina but still pretty bad resulting in a 5-2 loss. The third period was much better than the first two but we still seem to make too many mistakes. The first goal was a softy Vokoun allowed and the second was a play Wideman needs to make instead of allowing his guy to go right around him basically unmolested.
Special teams continue to be a HUGE concern. At least, they didn't quit and showed some life in the third period and getting two goals (including one off of Perreault's chicklets).
So the Caps will come back home and play a Friday night game against Montreal followed by a Saturday matchup against Toronto. These are two games we need to win. If we do, we may actually find ourselves back in the playoffs but we just need to put together all around good efforts for the full games. The home game will be interesting because the Caps have lost 3 in a row and I believe 5 of their last 6 and there is no question there will be a different vibe at Verizon. If we struggle, the fans will let them know. It will be a bitter pill for this team that is so used to success and fans appreciation. I do feel like this team is pressing and frustrated so it's going to be interesting to see what happens.
UNLEASH THE FURY!!!
