Frustrating. They have zero shot if they can't maintain stick discipline -- that's fundamental when you're outgunned

i'd rather have umberger in there. at least he goes to the goddamn net and will throw the body.

I've said this before too. Read is bringing nothing to the team.

holy (frank) guys

The one thing they didn't want to do. .... they said (frank) it and let's given them some PP time

What the hell was Simmonds thinking with that obvious two-hander? Just a stupid penalty to take.

I'd prefer to see someone else over him..... he is a dumpster fire

Everyone relax. They're just making the Caps more frustrated

Can't give up three penalties against the best team ..

That being said overall not a horrible period and most importantly it is still 0 - 0 on the scoreboard.

Part of the plan? Phew.

where's funmaster to tell me everything is gonna be ok

Now they are blurring the mouth of a guy in a suit in a Hockey game?

40 minutes left! Would love to see the ice tilt in our direction. Would also love to see Simmonds, G and Jake magically appear....some would say they're all due :

Refs will call a few in the flyers favor in the second. They just need to survive this

Would rather have RJ in at this point than Read

G and Jake have to be hurt pretty bad as they look like shells of how they normally are.

I'd they can come from this unscathed, that will be a huge boost

That's one you just can't take

Doesn't mean I want to break out he pitchforks and torches, but that is one you simply cannot take

You know it's sad when you can type that and no one can really disagree

Giroux better win the next draw

Well that would be a nice change

Replace Read with Konecny and Streit with Provorov next year. Its gotta be an improvement.

winning a faceoff on the PK would be nice. they are not only losing every one, they lose them cleanly and make it easy for the caps to set up the PP

I don't want to make anyone a whipping boy, but Read looks like a fourth-liner at best right now

That's a roster slot that needs to be upgraded, stat
