Washington Capitals head coach Barry Trotz made a sarcastic remark about his team’s slow start in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Saturday.
The Caps fell behind 2-0 to the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first 10 minutes of the game. It was already 3-0 before they scored two goals to make it respectable, and they lost by that count — 3-2.
After the game, Trotz remarked that his team was probably looking at an 8 pm start instead of 7:15.
Trotz said the Caps were probably looking at an 8 pm start instead of 7:15. Then he sorta slammed his water bottle down on the table.

Losing Game 5 really hurt. Washington had won the first two games of the series on the road and lost the next two at home. Now they need to win two in a row to reach the Stanley Cup Finals, which won’t be easy against a quality squad like Tampa Bay.
