haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 I thought the same. Let's hope it bites them back. At first I thought it was just a fluke formation as they were changing guys or something. But it's been a lot of one forechecker with the other four back in a box. I guess they're content to try and counterattack. 1 wings_fanatic reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gowings00 545 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 Caps are playing a 1-4 with 17 minutes left in the period. good lord. I actually think Trotz is the best intellectual coach in the NHL. His moves and line changes are usually spot on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 I actually think Trotz is the best intellectual coach in the NHL. His moves and line changes are usually spot on. I think Trotz is a great coach but I'm just surprised he's using a 1-4 trap at the start of the 3rd. Especially given the firepower of the Caps. 1 gowings00 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,803 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 One good chance the whole period, and that was Datsyuk's move where he got hurt. Not scoring on that 5 on 3 looks big now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 So the Caps strategy is to trap with 4 guys back and keep icing the puck? You'd think this was an offensively limited team who needs to hang on to any lead they get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeBFan 5 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 Hey guys I know it is usually bad form to go on other team's boards but as a Caps fan I felt the need to chime in. I look at fan boards of opponents most games to see what they think of the matchup and I gotta say, you Wings fans have a number of great qualities. 1. You complain about officiating about 1/4 of what other fans do, and about 1/10 of what Pens fans do. Yes I know Caps fans ***** a lot also. 2. You guys understand what you are seeing better than about any other fans. I learn interesting stuff reading your posts. I hope we meet in the conference finals. I'll seldom post but I will lurk. 5 Aethernum, derblaueClaus, WingsAlways and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
