My Thoughts:
*The Caps still can't get off to a good start in a game as they gave up the first goal once again. It is ridiculous that this team can't play right away in games. I have said it before it needs correcting, it is starting to become unacceptable because this team is capable of more.
*T.J Oshie scored his 21st goal of the season after a great pass by Nick Backstrom on a power play. Alex Ovechkin also got a assist.
*The Caps would get another power play, but Dmitry Orlov got beat and a 2 on 0 breakaway by the Sharks was converted when Joel Ward found Patrick Marleau.
*Caps would tie the game again when Evgeny Kuznetsov made a great pass to Justin Williams who beat Jones for his 20th goal of the season. Andre Burakovsky got the secondary assist.
*The 3rd period was one to forget as the Sharks scored 3 goals, and walked away with a win. The Caps in two games again the Sharks this year gave up 10 goals. That is an embarrassment.
*If I sound salty today it's because the Caps are better team than this and they have showed it to us all season. If they are serious about being a championship team they need to act like it day in and day out. Don't making being board of the regular season an excuse to not show up in the first period.
*Alex Ovechkin is in a slump lately and again I think its because the teams the Caps are playing are fighting for playoff positions. The Caps are just coasting into the playoffs. Bad habits might set in, I hope not because then this season would become a waste if they lose in the playoffs early.
*Overall the Caps finished the road trip 2-1-1, which is not bad. They will come back home now to try to bounce back from losing two in a row.
What's Next: Tues. Mar. 15th vs. Carolina 7:00 p.m on CSN
