The Caps looked pretty good for 40 minutes, but they spotted Tampa Bay a 3-0 lead in the first period and were never able to recover. Rob Carlin, Alan May and Tarik El-Bashir talk about the good and bad from Tuesday's game. Is it time to be concerned for Braden Holtby?
It was far from a perfect game for the Capitals, but they were able to put the ugly loss against Chicago behind them with a win over the Buffalo Sabres. Rob Carlin, Alan May and Ryan Billie talk about 3-2 win, plus talk about the trade for Michal Kempny.
The Caps put together a stinker of a performance on Saturday as they were blown out 7-1 by the Chicago Blackhawks who had lost eight straight coming into the game. Al Koken, Alan May and Ryan Billie talk about Washington's rough night in Chicago.
After a few rough games, the Capitals had a very good response on Thursday as they beat the Wild in Minnesota, something few teams have done this season. Washington's top line completely dominated in the 5-2 win. Rob Carlin and Alan May break down the victory.
On the eve of Valentine's Day, the Caps suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Winnipeg Jets. Washington led 3-1 in the third period, but saw the Jets tie the game with 15 seconds left to go and continue on to win in overtime. Rob Carlin, Alan May and Tarik El-Bashir break down the disappointing night.
There was no way the Caps should have been able to climb back in this one. Washington trailed the Detroit Red Wings 4-1 after two periods and had been thoroughly dominated. They forced overtime and managed a point, but the big takeaway is how they put themselves in that position. Al Koken and Alan May break down what was an ugly game in Washington.
The Caps won in Columbus then returned home to down the Blue Jackets again in the second leg of the home-and-home. Rob Carlin, Alan May, Ben Raby and Tarik El-Bashir break it all down and even dive a little bit into some trade deadline talk.
There's nothing a trip to Columbus can't cure. The Caps now have points in 11 of their last 12 against the Blue Jackets thanks to a late goal from Nicklas Backstrom. Rob Carlin, Alan May, Tarik El-Bashir and Ryan Billie break down all they story lines from Washington's 3-2 win.
The Caps had a third period lead against the Vegas Golden Knights, but then took their foot off the gas allowing Vegas to take back control and hand Washington the loss. Rob Carlin, Alan May and Ryan Billie break it all down.
In a game that looked awfully familiar, the Penguins used their speed to take control and force the Caps into costly mistakes. Rob Carlin, Alan May and Ryan Billie break down yet another loss to those damn Penguins.
