Then when they lose the first game, their psyche gets damaged and they start questioning themselves even more. They allow the #8 seed to get in their heads and start panicking and then it all goes downhill from there. If the Caps don't get their shit straight we won't be in this very long.

And yes it was a completly unacceptable effort on our behalf last night. Ovi wasn't himself, their D was swarming, we couldn't keep the puck in their zone because passing was atrocious and they kept getting blocked/picked off, and if it wasn't for Teddy that game would've been even worse.

Who is Teddy?
