Description
We are in a bad spot we have so many important guys out. If we could just survive to Wilson and Carlson are back I think we can win more games but they need to change up the lines cause they have been losing and leaving the same lines. Kuzy and Ovi need to be reunited. Jensen and Orlov need to be together again and Carlson and Fehervary need to be united cause those pairings were good. I think eller Mantha and Protas has been a solid line but Protas is more of what they already have. But Protas isn’t and offensive weapon and that’s what they need right now. I want to see Snively in he was good last year and he hasn’t gotten a chance this year(2 games on the 4th line doesn’t count). Also, does anyone know when Sonny Milano will be up. The power play is a problem. Once they are set up they are fine but the system they are using to gain entry and set up is awful and needs to be changed but they won’t change it and they need to but the right guys on the power play, Protas shouldn’t be on the PP.

While I agree with most of what you said in the description, I slightly disagree with the following:

1) While I wouldn't hate Kuzy and Ovi being together (which would hopefully get Kuzy going), the Ovi-Strome-Sheary line was BY FAR the best line last night. Finally, it might seem they are starting to get some chemistry. I'd let them rock for another night.
2) I think the 2nd line is where the Caps need to switch things up. McM is clearly not ready (or trusted) enough to play decent minutes. I'd give Snively-Kuzy-MoJo a shot. That would be a very fast, smooth-skating line.
3) Jensen and Orlov looked great last night so totally agree with that. BUT, now this is knit-picky, while I would also link Carlson and Feh back together (becasue there is no other option), in no means have they been "good" this season. I think they have been the worst d-pairing, by far.

As far as Milano, I have not heard anything about a call-up, but if I am the Caps, I am sending McM down and bringing Milano up. Yes, Milano doesn't play a lick of defense, but neither does McM. At least Milano has some offensive finish.

Yeah I just feel like with all the injuries my biggest thing is I want them to bring Snively in and give him significant time cause he fast and he puts up offense. They really need more speed. I get your point about Ovi and Kuzy too

Well, I was wrong. Last night's game was brutal for Ovi-Strome-Sheary line (5on5 wise). Need a switch up. Especially need Kuzy to perform like a 1c...

I think putting Kuzy back with Ovi would be a good idea and might get them both going.

Yeah, I agree. Sorry for disagreeing with you slightly lol

Ovi has gotten a ton of great looks. Just bad puck bounces or great saves by goalies. They will start falling (I think he pots 2 in Detroit on Thursday). I also think Kuzy pots one on Thursday.

I wouldn't mind seeing Mantha and Strome together - would be a pretty dangerous line. Throw in Snively for that line, and could be great.
