Game 16: 11/11/18 vs. Arizona Coyotes

121. 1. 19. Final. 4

It is a good thing that this game happened so early in the week, because this was easily the worst effort I have seen from the Washington Capitals all season. Despite playing beyond regulation the night before, the Arizona Coyotes came into DC and dominated the home team, winning 4-1.

There is really nothing else to say about this game. The Capitals were beyond abysmal, Braden Holtby‘s struggles continued, and the special teams were anything but, with a 0-2 power play combining forces with a 4-6 penalty kill. Not quite the recipe for success.

The final stats show that Washington outshot the Coyotes 39-22, but to lose 4-1 to a tired team at home is inexcusable. To make things worse, this was not a very watchable game either, as Arizona played in their typical snooze-fest fashion.

This game sucked, end of story. Hopefully, there will be absolutely no reason to come back to watch this game at the end of the season, because the tape should be burned.

Performance: 1/10

Entertainment: 3/10
