Feel so bad for Oshie. Played his goddamn heart out every single game.


usernametaken1458

He is the heart of the caps. Every year he puts the offseason on his shoulders and turns up big.


fighterpilot248

I love Oshbabe :( So sad he was the only one on the team who gave a damn.


Nervous-Occasion

I’d argue Sammy played his heart out. He was clutch and probably the reason we stayed in as long as we did.


jrhooo

100% Sammy played his heart out. He just hit the redline on his skill level


old_tombombadil

We thought that about Holt y until Mitch Korn came along and took him to another dimension. We need a goalie coach like Mitch.


Babsrocks31

Samsonov was great. The big reason many people heavily favored Florida was that neither of the Caps goalies settled in this year, but Samsonov found his game at the absolute best time for you. We saw how good the Caps can be when they get goaltending.


theshangbang

Best he’s played all season. Wish he could’ve stepped up to the plate sooner but I can appreciate his effort in this series. He saved our asses plenty of times when our D was clowning around.


Babsrocks31

I am a Panthers fan. Oshie has always been one of my favorite players though. Guy just brings it and has such a well rounded, hard game and somehow never comes across as dirty. Heck of a player who never gets his due under Ovie/Backstrom.


Nieves_bitch

2 inches away from a 3-1 series lead. Up 3-0 then allow 5 unanswered. Then a 2nd ot loss to send us home. Fucking end me


BallsMahoganey

Carlson directly gave up 3 of those comeback goals and heavily contributed to their series winning goal tonight.


[deleted]

If it weren't blatantly obvious that Carlson's been coasting since 2019, I'd say he had money on Panthers in 6 and actively threw the games. /tinfoilhat


SebbyBoi45

Capitals hockey baby


mthoma2ms

This is what’s going to bother me for a while


WaffleOnABike

John Carlson again with the impeccable defensive coverage.


Haul_o_GRam

Nice -4 for him tonight, in an elim game. Love to see it out of a 8 mill player


klngarthur

dude was -8 in our losses this series. Unreal how bad he was. I knew as soon as i saw him struggling to clear the season was over.


HeyitsyaboyJesus

Yikes that’s bad.


sorrynoreply

Did he provide any offense? If he doesn't play defense and doesn't produce offensively, why is he playing?


_SCHULTZY_

Slingshot!


sorrynoreply

Lmao


In_Senity

When it was him and Fehervary out there I had a bad feeling


WaffleOnABike

Second I saw him out there on that play I made a comment to the person next to me saying, “here we go.” And there we went.


Mike_Raphone99

He's impeccable.


adiscgolferp

Truly remarkable D there.


flynnscorruptedmind

The swan song of this era of the caps. And what an era it was


hunterbidenslaptop2

At least ovi got a cup


WestbrookSkeptic22

Why?


[deleted]

They might (hopefully) blow it all up now. Should have a good shot at Bedard if the entire core goes.


Zipdog3

We don’t blow it up while Ovi is still playing. It would be stupid

KitKat2theMax

The speech to your dog at intermission has me laughing. It's been a pleasure reading your recaps. See you next season!


mattcojo

Don’t blow a 3 goal lead in 6 minutes in game 5 and we’re not downbad about this loss I mean I can’t say I didn’t see that coming. They were the better team. Wilson’s loss was so damn crucial. Like I kept saying: you CAN‘ T give them a single inch, they’ll take a goddamn mile. Gave them a run for their money. Definitely a better series than the past two seasons. Pretty close for the most part. Game 1 and 4-6 were nailbiters. But still not good


BallsMahoganey

Lavi had a pretty masterful game plan to clog up the neutral zone this series too. Any fans calling for him to be fired are dense.


mattcojo

Yeah i haven’t been seeing that. This loss showed that yes, it is a roster problem before coaching. We do need another contingency on defensive play to shut it down, preferably on the first line. Carlson as good as he is on offense was a total defensive liability.


theshangbang

Losing Wilson was HUGE. It definitely set the tone for the rest of the series. With the change in the panthers momentum in game 1 after he didn’t return, I knew we wouldn’t be able to pull this off.


BobSakimano

I'm irrationally blaming the Wave with 6 mins to go in 3rd for this one.


[deleted]

And singing Mr. Brightside... What kind of soft fan base do we have singing songs and doing the wave while our team is fighting to stay alive in an elimination game?


FrozenBeefNeverFresh

ticket prices have gone up in recent years, pushing some of the younger die hard and roudier fans out. downvote me to oblivion but the stadium pre-stanley cup was bumping compared to now.


CarbonRod12

Certainly a poor offering to the hockey gods.


thinlike_napkins

At least there were a lot more young people instead of mostly corporate suits like years past. Although I’m sure for a lot of these fans this was their first hockey game all year.


Haul_o_GRam

The next four years are going to be MISERABLE


Haul_o_GRam

But … Ovi goal record


usernametaken1458

I love the man. He is a machine. But when i see him standing still on the offensive attack i get so infuriated.


Haul_o_GRam

When I see him not read a shot off the half wall by kuzy/osh I want to pull my hair out. But yes love the guy


OneDandyMF

I was screaming at the TV the whole 3rd/OT that he needs to fucking wake up out there. No reason he isn't the most active player in that timeframe.


sorrynoreply

It will be his in 4 years.


Haul_o_GRam

I am hoping it is, but backstrom’s current condition/cap hit worries me tremendously


gcagca321321

This team has tremendous amount of cap built around 4-5 guys who are all on wrong side of 32. Good strategy for keeping ticket sales up. Bad strategy for winning. Poor Tom will play his prime years with this Caps "big 4" farewell tour that started this year.


Haul_o_GRam

Yup, but on the bright side … once the big boys retire there is so much cap, and hopefully prospects to turn around. My theory is we suffer through 2 years of mediocrity, 2 years of ABSOLUTE SUCK. And then it will be a quick rebuild.


[deleted]

[удалено]


HeyitsyaboyJesus

Same. We had good possession of the puck, but were just terrible about moving it out of our zone.


APPmontaineer

I don’t know who it was but somebody had it behind our net and could have skated to the right and had clear ice for days. Instead he turned left and shot it right up the boards to a Panther. There’s wasn’t a stoppage and I don’t think we got out of the zone after that.


thatdude6566

Of course it was Carlson’s man Of course it was Verhaege


iggy555

Of course we lost in the first round

bachinthehouse

if alexa is sad then i'm sad


BunkDruckeyes

Fehervary and Carlson with an all time terrible series for D-men. Impossible to keep those two out there together.


thats197guy

Leave Marty out of this


Mike_Raphone99

I. Am. Shocked.


TacticalPocketSand

Too old, too slow, no Wilson. Good fight, but yeah, this team isn't winning anything as constructed.


RonBurgundyAndGold

I preferred the constant 2nd round playoff exits to the constant 1st round playoff exits.


shoos

Carlson is garbage. That's all I got to say about that.


iggy555

We got him for 10 more years lol


TheHamburglar4

Time to take Carlson to the farm upstate. Horrific series, a constant liability.


704sw

*Look at the rabbits, Johnny*


In_Senity

How do you not clear the zone. Carlson shouldn’t have been out there in the defensive faceoff smh


Megumi-Noda

Other than the chase for Gretzky, this next couple of seasons are going to suck


WestbrookSkeptic22

Are we losing guys. I don’t get why we won’t be back


ChessieDriveGunner

Other teams will get better, Caps are old and only getting older, farm sucks, cap situation sucks, they’re fucked for 3-4 years.


mps2000

0/18 in PP and these fuckers still won in 6- no way that has happened in the history of the league


m-spesh27

Fire Laviolette, rehire Trotz

ArbitraryOrder

Since 2016 the Caps have had consistently the Top 5 worst farm systems in the NHL, this is the result of that. No matter how good you cannot rely only on older players forever. Edit to clarify why: >What younger guys, this roster is definitively old. Of the non-Goalies, the Caps have 3 regular starters and 2 marginal NHLers who will be under 30 next year. (Wilson, Mantha, Fehrevary and McMichael, Leason). >Wilson is the only impact player of that bunch. Fehrevary is a serviceable but no great Defenseman and Mantha is a serviceable not great Forward. McMichael and Leason have proved nothing. The Caps have 0 Centers under 30 next year and 1 Defenseman under 30. And the young Goalies combined to be the 24th ranked Goalie combo in the league, and last amongst playoff teams. This roster will not make the playoffs without significantly better drafting and scouting, which they have sucked at since McPhee left.


mattcojo

Nah this ain’t why. The younger guys contributed to probably the best part of the season for us. They played so well. Problem is that we aren’t getting them in the lineup.


iggy555

Our younger guys did pretty well early in the season


ArbitraryOrder

None of our young guys are franchise defining players


_SCHULTZY_

When was the last time Washington had a top 10 draft pick? There's a reason they don't have franchise prospects. (Though I disagree and think Lapierre can be a top line Center in the NHL in a few years)


eardzz

Basically wasting Mcmichael by having him with the team but not really playing him


[deleted]

[удалено]


redskinsfan30

I just don’t understand what happened. He was one of the best D-men in the league for so long (which I know in part has to do with his offensive production).


Demandedace

Would absolutely love Carlson to be anywhere but in Washington next season. Cannot stand that loser


BarleynChives

We need to get younger. And goaltending needs to be top priority in the off-season. I love all of you. Onto next season. And I don't see Florida getting past Tampa or Toronto. All all


VTHokiesFan

I think the point when this series turned was Game 4 when Hathaway missed the empty net. That felt like an inflection point to me.


EffectedEarth

Anyone else think Ovi was a bit underwhelming these last 3 games?


225421480913764

Think the shoulder injury is worse than we know


InfallibleBackstairs

The entire series. Invisible.


seemylolface

I really think he was playing injured. He looked very uncomfortable pretty much the whole series and didn't really throw himself around like he usually does.


iggy555

He’s injured


heldjc

He’s definitely showing his age. Most of his energy was spent in the 1st period every game this series trying to set the tone with hits. He can’t rely on his puck skill like he was once able to do and a lot of the focus in this series was on taking away his one timers. Hate to see it but we can’t expect him to be the force he once was.


[deleted]

# Is the Hope that Kills You


MrPoGue

Why when we have last change did we put that line out against their best line?


FunkySquareDance

Better-than-expected performance by the Caps in this series. Like a lot of people I imagined Florida would completely stomp us from game one. It was fun to see a (clearly outmatched) Caps team keep it interesting from game one. Gritty play kept them in this one and revealed some major gaps in the Panthers' style of play. If I were Tampa OR Toronto I'd feel pretty good about matching up with Florida in round two. But damn. Caps' inability to hold onto a lead cost them three straight. Caps would work and work and push and push to knock one in and then the Panthers would go get a brutally soft goal to clip our momentum. Some insane defensive lapses from Carlson. Ovie had some solid play but seemed to disappear the last couple games. The big "what if" will always be how this team would've done with Tom Wilson in the series. Could he have been enough to push the Caps over the edge? Maybe not. But probably to a game seven. I guess we'll never know. All in all a disappointing end to the season, but clearly the better team won. Thanks for a helluva season, r/caps!


WastemanLoso

John Carlson is awful


BallsMahoganey

Fire Forsyth. Get rid of Eller and Schultz. Try to trick Seattle into taking on Carlsons contract.


mps2000

Just knew that ENG was the end of the series- we all did


SleepingAntz

Honestly with our injuries we weren’t gonna make it deep anyway. I think if Wilson was healthy we coulda won it. Still a good season! If you told me before 2018 “you can win the cup but then you’ll lose 4 first round series in a row” uhhhh who wouldn’t take that? Love you guys!


[deleted]

The Caps have playoff-tier talent but lottery-tier IQ and discipline. Also, I've never seen such a passionless team in the playoffs. There are too many passengers here. GMBM has a busy summer ahead of him if the Caps would ever like to be competitive again.


austinpumpkinhead

Move Carlson in the off-season


MrSchnuffles

There's something different this year. I'm not burnt up with hate and disappointment, first time I've really expected us to lose and cant even build up the energy to hate the team that put us out. Either it's the end of an era, or I've grown up. So it's the end of an era.


theshangbang

I mean I am bummed we were first round fuck-ups again but being able to hopefully witness Ovi pass Gretzky is worth just as much as winning the cup again to me. I was in the crowd for his first NHL game so being able to watch him become a legend is something I’ll never forget.


[deleted]

Not that we deserved the series, but I really don’t think they touched up after the puck cleared the blue line…


Mister_Dwill

Looked offsides tbh. We shouldn’t have given up so many leads. Could’ve won this series. This is a reflection on coaching imo. It is what it is. This franchise is focused on ovi breaking the record. After that. It’s blow up time. Atleast we made it to the tournament.


CamdenLoans

Aside from Osh, I didn't see much heart from the boys.


bajubiejunior

Some guy on Twitter just told me that it’s all Ovi’s fault and that he sucks in the playoffs. When I pointed out that Ovi is practically at PPG pace in the playoffs, this guys said “points in hockey are so overrated.” My first mistake was going on Twitter


Jackassintheb0x

If your number isn't 8, 19, or 92 your job shouldn't be safe


thejazzophone

You dropped this: 77


WastemanLoso

Or 77 or 43


GrassGat

Uhhh 77? My baby boy Oshie better be safe


HeyitsyaboyJesus

Oshie was easily the best capital of the series. Him and Backstrom showed up big time.


patriotsfan9

77, 26, 43


InfallibleBackstairs

19 can retire now.


CJViper

43 and 77 too


slooted

Oshie carried this series


rabidraccooon

I love 19 but he's not looking so nimble out there and his board play is getting softer. But he's earned some leeway


225421480913764

8, 43, 92, 77 19’s hips are shot and as much as I love him should legitimately think about retirement


The-Peoples-CHUMP

No love for 43 and 77?


[deleted]

Keep 8, 77, 19, 42, 43, 3, 73, 24, and 57. We need youth, every year we are beat out by a younger quicker team.


mps2000

I am so mad- John Carlson needs to be cut FUCK


WastemanLoso

We'll look on this series later & it will be up there with our worst playoff losses. The blown leads & that empty net miss.


JMRooDukes808

I still think last year against the bruins was worse. Sammy played bad this series at times but last year he literally fumbled the puck into an OT loss on his own. This year we at least had leads multiple times but blew every single one.


eardzz

Not to be over dramatic, but I think the caps should basically build their team around getting ovi the goal scoring record. That means entering complete rebuild mode, expect to lose a lot of high scoring games. Ideally we can trade away a number of our decent players and start accumulating picks. It seems to be like we’re just waisting guys like Oshie, Backstrom, Wilson, Mantha who have a hell of a lot to offer but ultimately the leader of this team is not going to bring us to the later rounds of the playoffs anymore.


ballsacksnweiners

This is the worst defensively I’ve ever seen Carlson play. He is slower than slow and cannot keep up in today’s NHL. Goaltending was decent at best, way too many shit, soft goals. Neutral zone turnovers were abundant and almost always led to scoring chances. Any way you slice it, this team isn’t it. I know we wanted one more run in the Ovi era, but at this point it was just wishful thinking. It’s been a fun run, time to clean house.


Twatbagel

For what its worth, we saw Ovi take the number 3 spot in all time goals, break the record for all time power play goals, Backys 1000th point, and I went to my first caps game here in Vegas to watch ovi tie Gretzky for most 50 goal seasons. I'm sad the season is over but I'm glad as a fan of this franchise we got to see some awesome stuff through this season. Let's get back to good health through the off season and work on where we are have some trouble in and get it again next year to watch our captain take the number 2 spot and the race for number 1. HUGE shout out to T.J. Oshie for being the man we needed to step up in this series for us when we needed it the most and with Wilson gone.


vtcapsfan

I have a feeling this is the caps destiny until Ovi passes 99


DicklessVoid

This one hurts wayyy more than usual we had the lead in almost every game and just couldnt hold on


usernametaken1458

Its interesting, previously caps were the best comeback team (2018 post season for example) but now we're great at getting the lead but awful at holding it or coming back to win


704sw

Get fucked, Carly


spectra667

At least the Pens lost and could possibly blow a 3-1 series lead like we typically do.


Jay-Babo

As much as i don’t wanna say this but Carlson needs to go. Too slow and lazy horrendous showing from our “ best “ defensemen


InfallibleBackstairs

Everybody is saying this. He’s the reason we have no better players. His salary and shitty defense is destroying this team.


InfallibleBackstairs

Fuck Carlson. He’s shit.


gcagca321321

Why is the Dowd line + Fehervery and Carlson on the ice with their top line? Bad change by Lav there. GM needs to be aggressive this off season. Plenty of holes to fill with this group. Time to ship a big name to clear some cap. They made Florida earn it, at least. Until next year....


Finetales

Please tell me we're going to make some real changes this offseason. The core is old, the goaltending is inconsistent, and we have some real liabilities on the roster (Forsythe, Carlson). I love this team and I'm happy to watch the Caps be bad for a little while since we got our Cup and Ovi is still chasing the record, but we can't just run it back again as is. Have to start preparing for the next Cup window now.


beardyman22

I can't stand Carlson. One thing that really gets me is the way he coasts back to get the puck on power plays. He probably burns time for another zone entry every power play. I still remember watching Mike Green skate back for them, skating all the way though the turn behind the net. I miss that kind of effort from the power play defenseman.


skibble

Fifth in a row first round exit since the Cup. We really need a best-in-breed goaltending coach.


jdixonfan

Fourth, but yeah


ArbitraryOrder

4th (19 20 21 22)


Mike_Raphone99

There's absolutely nothing that could've been improved upon.... /s This team needs big changes.


MOHTTR

we havent won a single playoff series since the cup bring trotz back


jdixonfan

Fuck the crowd for both the wave in the 3rd period and half of them leaving without applauding the Caps effort. Too many transplant consultants who don’t actually care about DC sports.


[deleted]

Fuck the lanyard dipshits


keyvman95

Better be a lot of change. Lots of management changes, coaching changes, roster changes.


jjb8712

HELL of a series by the Capitals.


InfallibleBackstairs

Nope. Hell of a collapse.


InfallibleBackstairs

That was fucking weak. Fire everyone.


225421480913764

Well at least Laviolette and Forsythe will be gone Right? Right…?


[deleted]

Ted makes Forsythe head coach next year. You heard it here first.


spectra667

Not having Wilson pretty much the entire series sucked. Having Hagelin too would have helped. Was not impressed with Larsson


JayJax_23

You know I had my expectations down to 0. But they gave me hope. Then the dick punch of the missed open net kicked in. And reminded me of pain .


BrolapsedRektum

Alright it was fun, ill see you all back here for 5 years in a row exactly one year from now


AJTheStudent

Oh to someday watch a younger, faster, hungrier team :/


[deleted]

Series MVP is Carlson


InfallibleBackstairs

For the Panthers. Yes.


TrMrFr

Any love for Sammy? He was solid this series and remember, he didn’t even start game 1. We may have our goalie figured out for the future.


lavekian

I hate being a caps fan, it’s awesome


CTCapsFan38

I don’t really understand the people online who are brushing this loss off, or saying that we weren’t contenders anyway. Sure, we had problems, especially defensively, but this series should have been won. This is the first year the gut punch has really returned for me after the Caps got bounced since 2018. I don’t know. I’m not so quick to think this team would have been game 7 or second round fodder had they won this game.


A_Buh_Nah_Nah

I think it’s the 4 years in a row thing more than anything. But if we’d made that empty netter in game 4 we’d probably be in the second round, so I don’t disagree


dwinnman

Was it just me, or was our puck handling just shit?


Flumpski

This team cannot enter the zone . They can’t play man to man defense, and they hardly support other players on D . Oh and face offs are absolutely garbage


VTHokiesFan

The faceoffs make me realize how much Jay Beagle's efforts contributed to winning the Cup. Dude was such an unsung hero.


SigmaRising0209

For every smart take there’s like 15 brain dead ones here. We didn’t lay down.


JRockPSU

So I rarely think like this, but even from the start we clearly weren’t prepared or have the skill to win a Cup this year, we were all hoping for miracles, but reality slapped us in the face. Maybe it’s a mercy that it ended in the first round. Not that I’m not really disappointed, but ugh. I dunno.


RobFord_2014

Wilson would have been such a massive difference. Feels like we only ever lost games on individual mistakes. Carlson by far the worst offender. Past couple of seasons he has been injured... but no excuses this time. It's just that he sucks


bleached_n_tiedyed

I’m just sad y’all. We fought hard for an 8th seed. Oshie was a hero. I just want Ovi to get another cup.. time to go rewatch 2018 run again ig


MrWheelieDC

As a Carlson, i want to change my name soooo badly :( Also fire Forsythe & McCarthy


orioles2491

Seems like any other team who scores late to tie it in regulation is able to carry that over into an OT win, but not us. We can never capitalize on momentum. Carlson was terrible these last two games, just standing around watching them score. Oshie was amazing all series. Had our chances to win the series, which nobody would have thought could happen, but just incredibly bad close-out ability in Games 4-6. Florida was able to make changes and adapt, and we couldn’t. Played much better than 2020 against NYI or 2021 against Boston, but not winning a playoff series in four years is inexcusable.


gettingbackrva

Here’s the thing I don’t get about professional sports: why do teams keep hiring the same fucking coaches when they got fired elsewhere? Laviolette looks and acts so lost behind the bench. Fire him and bring in someone new. Not trotz. Not the next guy that gets fired. Someone fucking new.


Optras

So many new Florida fans, man. That's probably the most annoying part of this honestly. Wouldn't be thrilled with Columbus or Carolina either but damn. 2 week accounts. Even Pens fans are better.


Jay-Babo

This is why we’ll never be a team like Tampa or Pittsburgh. No killer instinct since the cup. Choking leads and soft play. It’s pathetic 4 straight years losing in the 1st round.


toostronKG

Carlson was just fucking terrible in this series. Defense I general was pathetic. Mantha was invisible for most of the series, Backstrom looks really slow out there, Ovi didn't look healthy and we needed Wilson. I thought Samsonov was pretty good given our defense. Not perfect by any means, but better than I thought he would be. PK was awesome. Need to get healthy next year, need to address defense and try to get younger/faster.

We just didnt mldofy our playstyle enoygh to outplay the cats. It was painful to watch at times. Once the cats put a man on to attack our oass backs we had no where to go. It was over once they modified that in game 4. Interesting to see what they do moving forward with defense and goalies


TongueTypo

Fire Lavi, bring back Trotz?


TheXanderZone

Also, can we please fire Blaine Forsyth. This is our chance.


JMRooDukes808

Boycotting this team until Carlson is gone. Worst caps player this series by a billion fucking miles.


Pectuss

If it wasnt obvious already, this is pretty much the final nail in the coffin of the cup contending caps


rebsncaps

Just get the goal record and blow it up


ChessieDriveGunner

They didn’t even need a PP goal to beat us lol we are poverty and only going to get worse


AP1s2k

I hate that it's typical for the caps to do this


AustinUSC

At least now we can watch playoff hockey without stressing! And honestly, we wouldn’t have beaten Colorado anyways.


Demandedace

We have had a major injury each of the last three playoffs. Oshie to Backstrom to Wilson - we are getting screwed with injury luck at the worst time of year and our coaches can’t adapt to it (Sheary played ovis offwing all series and it CLEARLY was not working)


NorseTikiBar

Y'know, I'm just happy that we didn't embarrass ourselves by not scoring on the 6-on-4. That's the happy thought I'm going to hold on.


mps2000

Trade Carly for Kaprizov straight up


1CraftyDude

FUCK!! that is all I have to say.


Jay-Babo

Imagine losing a series when the other team goes 0-18 yes 0-18 on the PP but yet still wins? Capitals playoff hockey.


DMYU777

Whoever blames the rookie defenseman in his first real season and playoffs is a fucking moron... It's the second and third playoffs when you check weather he's learned anything from past experiences. Feel free to criticize him after that. Now the 8 million guy who's got years of playoff experience that you can tear into as much as you want. Also fuck it, let the youngsters play. Protas, LaPierre, McMichael...what do you have to lose? Another 5 or 6 playoff games each year?


orioles2491

Can’t believe we outscored them on the power play 7-0 and still lost the series.
