Kuzy was the worst player yesterday and it wasn’t even close.

Also I think we should look at ld options. I don’t trust alexyev at all.

Dylan Strome is hungry for the playoffs. Also kinda mad at ovi because,


First game I’ve ever been too doesn’t play because of a injury. Prob didn’t feel like playing and wanted rest. No other player on this roster could pull the bs. I don’t care who he is. If you wanna make the playoffs which the team does not the fans. Go play. Also I miss Milano. Reminds me of Daniel Sprong.

Milano Strome Sprong would be a fun line.

Yeah i felt bad ovi didn’t play. He has been incredibly durable and rarely ever misses games so I’d normally give him the benefit of the doubt.

Strome and Osh have been awesome the last 10 games

What are your thoughts on Kuzy. I’m not trying to be like our fan base and hate on him but he can just be terrible sometimes

He’s an enigma. He’s so frustrating because of his effort level and who he is when he’s shown who he can be.

2018 playoffs he gave full effort every game and was the best player on the ice every series.

In my opinion it’s time to trade him, bring up lappy or mcmike and add an elite winger (or two if Mantha is moved)

Strome-McMichael-Mantha will be very exciting to watch. Snively also getting a chance could be quite interesting.



I am very cautiously excited. This team could be quite good... but the similarities to 2004 worries me. Hopefully it isn't another tank midway through situation.

Damn

Nah, this isn't anywhere near the extent of 2004, where they traded anything and everything of value and committed to being horrible for more than one year. This is much closer to a standard re-tool than a full scale blow-up.

A few thoughts:

1. I watched the Oilers v Sharks game last night. It is just amazing to me how much better the Oilers are compared to the Caps. Faster, more physical, crisp passing, etc. Yes I know they are much younger and have the best player in hockey, but just an observation
2. Are we sure Debrincat should be the guy for Wsh? He is having a pretty rough year and honestly, I don't see how his recent play should warrant a 8x$9mil (or more) contract...maybe it is just one season (especially since he is 25)?

Him and strome would mesh well imo.

Also every game I watch that isn’t a capitals one is 100x times faster it’s rlly sad.
