Bob Chill Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Tonight's MD loss answered some of my questions... Will they be subject to a #1 ranking or 1 seed curse? Nope Will Trimble enter the draft and be gone next year? Nope Will we win the B1G regular season? Nope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdsofprey02 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Sorry to say, but the Terps are way overrated. Mostly fluff wins and some bad losses. Trimble and Carter should both receive seeing eye dogs after their combined 6 for 23 performance tonight. Pretty sad. This was the first bad loss. Wisconsin was a good team, saw that one coming. 3,4,5,6,10,13,15,21,23 all lost this week. I wouldn't say MD is overrated, they're definitely one of the most talented teams in the country. It's just frustrating to watch. Melo having a rough stretch, he needs to put it back together now. Wouldn't be shocked to see this team in the final four, yet really wouldn't be shocked for an early exit either. Sent from my phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 that is certainly the caps M.O. and they typically are a letdown in the post season as you know this year, there is no other eastern conference team that can hang with them all facets, offense, defense, goal tending, forecheck, backcheck, power play, penalty kill, 4 on 4, 3 on 3, they can dominate at will injuries of course are wild card. but they have sustained key injuries and are still the golden state of the nhl. hope beagle comes back as he is a beast in face off circle and that is really important deep in playoffs this is the year they won't collapse in the first or second round I don't see a weakness on this Caps team, like you mentioned, they basically have it all. What impressed me most about last nights game is how strong they are once they have a lead. After Ovi scored his second goal they never gave up another good scoring chance, except of course the tying goal which was a lucky bounce that landed right on Franz Nielson's stick. I saw they are 32-0-1 when leading after 2 periods, which is just outrageous. IMO that's one of the most important stats and is a good predictor of playoff success.

WinterWxLuvr Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 You can't simply dismiss Yoda's point. The Caps are a great regular season team. This isn't the first time that's happened in the past few years. That's about as far as you can take the compliments though. It's on them to change that.

I just can't picture anyone in the East beating them in a 7-game series. But you're right, things like that have probably been said by a lot of people in previous seasons.

Yeah, I can't remember the year, 09 or 10, somewhere in there, they were the #1 seed and laid a total egg in the playoffs. And heaven forbid we have to play the Rangers in the playoffs. That traditionally doesn't end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a huge Ovie fan, I respect the Caps, they are a solid, well-rounded team. However, for whatever reason you guys struggle against the Flyers. And while still a ways away talent-wise, the Flyers are growing hungrier and hungrier. If they can sneak in this year as the 8th seed, I would actually be a 'little' concerned, though in a 7-game series and on paper I would think the Caps win handily. Nothing would surprise me tho.

clskinsfan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Indeed. Kuzy is one of the highest potential players of the last few decades, in all off hockey. The caps are putting together a beautiful season. It is insanely difficult to win 42 of 56 nhl games. The scary thing for me is now is if they dont win the cup the season would be a disappointment for a lot of fans. And that beautiful season is lost to the books with the rest of the Caps failures.

At least you didn't lose your non-SC winning team to freaking Texas, and then watch them hoist the cup.

Almost as bad as the Nordiques moving to Colorado and instantly winning a cup. But hey, at least you have the Vikings/Twins/Twolves and all their success .
