Me too. But Trotz is a save looser.

You guys are kidding. You want Vrana or Gersich with Ovie and Kuzy. That line has already struggled defensively. And you want to throw a rookie with them. That makes absolutely no sense.Vrana isn't a very smart player.
waynerivers:
I thought they played better overall than in Game 3. They just couldn't convert on the PP enough. Stupid unnecessary penalty by Oshie to give the Pens a PP, which they scored on. I still don't know what Smith-Pelly was doing on that play. He gave Niskanen his stick and then just drifted around like a spectator while the Pens scored. The standing rule for any guy breaking his stick should be to get to the bench immediately. Guys without sticks are completely useless. Ovie and Kuznetsov were also pretty much invisible last night. They have to be much more impactful in Game 5 which the Caps need to have any chance in this series.

Damn Correct
This shows how poorly this roster was built. There are four forwards that can’t be moved or replaced, and more that can’t play anything then theirs natural position. This is rec-league shit.
Worse yet, many of them can’t adjust to a new player, New line or new system.
Hell, you have 6’4” 200ft powerforward that is an excellent screener, one school says put him with Ovie and Suzy, and park him in front of the net, particularly to screen a goalie who likes to buteerfy and his weak high and high stick. . .
. . . Mind . . . blown. And imagine what the Hens would say. . . ??? :-( :'(
For NHL players to be so unverstile, inwillimg, and unfamiliar with different positions, roles, and schemes is just inexcusable
alta:
When management signed Gersich they said he was brought in to help in the playoffs. Management then gave him a grand total of 32:11 TOI to get him ready for the playoffs.
Despite the locker room talk that not having Wilson has no effect, after watching the last game that clearly isn’t the case. Even if Willy hadn’t checked anyone he was clearly in the heads of the Hens, and they played better with him gone. As May said, the ONLY reason he was suspended was because of the crying from Shitsburgh.
The rest of the games with the Hens the Caps can not afford these stupid stick penalty’s, and that bench minor at the end of the game is an inexcusable mental mistake.
KitFisto:
Simple fact is that with the Caps shooting themselves in the foot and the refs out to help the Pens this series is over in 6. It was expected going in and we just got our usual dose of false hope when they went up 2-1.
