The Capitals suffered a tough 2-1 overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks, prompting head coach Spencer Carbery to express his disappointment with the team’s performance, particularly around puck control and passing. Despite starting strong and tying the game with a goal from Nic Dowd, the team struggled defensively and faced critical penalties, including a double-minor by Tom Wilson that led to the Sharks scoring the game-winner on the power play. The Capitals, who had recently enjoyed a four-game winning streak, will regroup and focus on improving their game as they prepare for practice and future matchups.

Caps looked half interested and SJ really outplayed the Caps for most of the game, and that late penalty by Wilson was unnecessary, but even without the penalty I think they still would have lost this game based on how they were playing tonight.
After an 0-9 start the Sharks have been 10-4-5 since, so they stepped it up and have turned it around. I like low scoring game and that is more the type of game they'll have to face in the playoffs. Both goalies looked good from the condensed game. There was a time in the 90s when I rooted for the Sharks as well as the Caps. Now let's get the Leafs. LETS GO CAPS!!
The strategy of turnover and try to defend didn’t work as well as we hoped. I think we should ditch it and try something else.
Dan were you at the game last night? I saw someone who looked just like you!
