I get that their last goal in game 2 came from an outside shot that made it through a double screen, but they need better puck movement and have to work on their forechecking. Really, when your top THREE lines have just 3 goals in 3 games you've got issues. Hopefully, they will figure it out---next year.

Yep, those boys, especially their top line have to figure something out, and soon!

I said/asked myself that numerous times as well last night. Too many passes when the opportunities to shoot were the best choices.
I also thought they dumped and chased it way too much as well, but maybe that has a lot to do with the Caps forecheck?
Either way, they certainly aren't playing to their capabilities, imo, and almost look tired/lazy.
Hopefully the coach and the rest of the boys can pull it together real soon!
