“We just have to bounce back, and we just have to find our way to win the games,” said the Washington Capitals’ captain after the team’s massive loss to the Buffalo Sabres on Sunday at Capital One Arena. A sloppy 8-5 defeat, and Alex Ovechkin couldn’t stop but focus on the bigger picture, as his team’s struggles were more pressing than his own pursuit of Wayne Gretzky’s record! Losing consecutively before the final end? Well, the Capitals definitely need to act fast!
With the playoffs around the corner and concerns rising, the Capitals need to be wary of their stats now that they head into the final stretch of the season. Ovechkin’s personal efforts have kept the game going, and almost close to winning in most of the games, but the question is, with three back-to-back losses, will the Capitals revive their momentum as they head towards the playoffs? After all, with nine regular-season games remaining, the team probably feels at the risk of losing!
Head coach Spencer Carbery couldn’t hold back and thus, offered a brutally honest confession in his post-game interview. “That’s not who we are. And it’s disappointing because when we try to… when we get away from our game and pucks start turning over and we can’t execute at the offensive blue line,” Carbery admitted. Revealing just how disconcerting the current slump is, while raising serious concerns about the team’s lack of ability to compete at the highest level when it matters most!
