Canadiens @ Capitals 7:00 PM CBC,NHLN, US,TVAS,CITY,CSN-DC, TSN Radio 690

[kinot-1]

Tinordi is playing.

[habby67]

12-1 would be laughable in most situations but these days it could be feasible considering how bad the Habs are playing. Everyone looks like same with the exception of some of the young call ups.

[Guest archey]

Tinordi is playing.

Petry's number stands for iron. That's a lie.

[kinot-1]

Holey Moley, Pleks!!!

[habby67]

Pleks, uhhhhh

[kinot-1]

UH-HUH,,, and it starts.

[habs_93]

We've had worse starts recently.

[kinot-1]

Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd it begins.

[habs_93]

Just brutal in general.

[kinot-1]

Just brutal in general.

Par for the course.

[Woodenhhead]

12-1 Caps.

C'mon, at least be somewhat realistic:

12-0 Caps

[habby67]

The Caps are toying with them.

[Fencesitter]

It looks to me as though they really don't want to play hockey. These are guys getting paid HUGE money, and yet they don't look like they're really making an honest effort! This is disgusting...

[habby67]

[EDIT] Beaulieu, clearly , in my opinion is the D leader out there.

IDK, I thought they looked really sharp during the national anthems.

[Guest archey]

I guess we all saw that fight coming.

[Woodenhhead]

What an amazing scoring chance there.

Oh wait, it was just another limp wrister from along the boards.

[habs_93]

Fantastic save by Condon.

[BigTed3]

Condon with a really nice save after another turnover. This isn't just about goaltending. It's much more about poor scoring, bad turnovers, and terrible penalties (we already have two in the O zone tonight).

[kinot-1]

Did ov just play with a broken stick?

[habs_93]

Condon with a really nice save after another turnover. This isn't just about goaltending. It's much more about poor scoring, bad turnovers, and terrible penalties (we already have two in the O zone tonight).

Yep. The team's 5-on-5 ES save percentage was until recently right near average.

[BigTed3]

And Chimera hits Condon twice after the whistle. Habs have been called for that a couple of times. Not the Caps, apparently.

[habs_93]

Good on the Habs for going after Chimera a bit there. The puck was clearly frozen, and that's garbage. If the NHL isn't going to prevent that from happening to our goalies, we'll have to do it.

I look at a team that does that for its goalie and I have a real hard time accepting the "they're just lazy/not giving effort" explanation. I see plenty of effort from the team, when the games are in reach. I also see that effort being wasted by factors outside their control.

Desharnais has to get a shot attempt out of that.

[BigTed3]

Hard to picture any line other than the Galchenyuk one scoring a goal right now.
