The Caps, tonight, looked kind of like the leaves in my yard this morning: getting blown all over. This is another game where there was just nothing positive to be said.
They couldn't get out of the defensive zone, they couldn't keep Toronto out, they couldn't get into the O zone, and they could rarely stay there once they made it.
The end result was getting absolutely demolished by a team they should have beaten.
Where do they go from here? I must admit, I don't know. They didn't look good in any phase of the game, or for any significant part of the game. The penalty kill allowed three goals. The power play not only didn't score, but allowed a short-handed goal as well.
I don't know how many turnovers there were from the forecheck, but it was not a small number.
The last couple of games, the Caps have not looked like a team widely picked to be one of the top two or three teams in the league. In fact, they've looked like a team lucky to be in the NHL at all.
Hmm... Thanksgiving is coming up soon. How comfortable are you, Bruce?
