If anybody is blaming Mrazek or saying he's not really fuging good, you objectively do not understand the game of hockey or this team.

Oh golly I guess I must not know anything then. Thanks for letting me know all knowledgeable one.

Pesce was literally holding on to the goal post, he was damn near in the net. With a clear sight line Mrazek makes that save.

Mrazek could have taken the low man but Orpik had a free shot at the goal because the Caps had all day to find where the player was on our team who didn’t have a stick.

It was just shitty defense.

You're welcome. Glad I could inform you.

Maybe we were better off playing Tampa. Until the playoffs they hadn’t played a meaningful game in months.

Anywho, we were down 2-0 in the series against Montreal in 2006.

Win our home games and streal game 7 on the road.

I'll be waiting on your analysis of how much better we looked in the beginning of this game than the last after allowing 2 goals in the 1st again

Idk, judging from the games we've played against them so far this season, it kind of feels like us playing against the Saints the last two years.

Not so much the very beginning of this game as much as after those first two. We started playing much tighter and looked as good as we have all series thus far.

It’s similar but worse.

We are the youngest team in the playoffs and honestly when you look at our roster we still have a good amount of holes. A lot of guys are playing higher up than they should be (i.e. Martinook and Wallmark).

Washington has a legitimate shot at repeating. If Tampa doesn’t get their head out of their ass then Washington might coast to the SCF.

We have to start better. Playing from behind against a good team is never going to go your way as much as you want. Maybe home ice will treat us better.

Yep, have to start the first period on time and quit playing from behind.

Don’t count out the Islanders.

Lol. Y'all are a trip. 

Mrazek has been a big part of the success of this team. We're not in the playoffs morning this game without him. Dude stopped 16 shots in the 2nd period alone. 

He's going to get resigned in the summer for #1 goalie money.

Re-evaluating after not explaining everything and only focusing on expressing one thing on the last goal because I was super pissed TF off even though I know what happened. Pesce was a dumbass and it's not the first time he's looked like one this series. I don't know wtf he was thinking and should be sent down to the Checkers for that pee wee level type of play he displayed there. Not only standing in front of the goalie but momentarily going across Mrazek's face. The part that I got pissed off about was Mrazek had a glance at the shooter and only a small percentage of goalies can stop a one-timer after just a quick glance. I was just pissed we didn't have an elite moment happen there and went with it.

In the moment I was also pissed we've allowed 7 goals with goalie in net in 2 games. In the past, Ward would be mostly responsible with everyone defending him which was frustrating as hell. This time it's different. Mrazek's at fault for probably 2 of those. I'm  still suffering from frustration of our past players, coaching, and front office.

Also, Pesce in Italian means fish.
