My fear is that 92 is still a little bit immature and might see it as a "demotion" -- taking the other top player off his line. If I were Todd I would not be fucking with the lineup that won the Cup because if the team does go south he's going to look like a dickhead. This team will only go as far as 92 will take them. He was their best player during the Cup run and he has to be their best player consistently for them to be elite. He was for the first couple of weeks but he's been having more of the old "hissy fit" stuff of late:
- too much overpassing
- bitching at the refs when he doesn't get a call
- not working hard enough on the defensive end
A young guy with a world of talent and a brand new 8 year $62M contract is a recipe for disaster if guys like Ovie don't ride him hard. He needs to step up -- the past 2 weeks have sucked.

If Kuzy is to immature, then he needs to grow the fuck up and realize that not only last year was last year, but as long as #19 is here, he will always be the number #2 AND second best center regardless of the lineup card. While he’s popular and gets a few points, he’s simply not a 200ft center.
The more this season goes on, the losses of Wilson, Beagle, and Chaisson are exposing the lack of depth on the roster. Backstrom, Stevenson, Oshie. DSP and Boyd can only do so much to make up the sloppy and morbidly idiotic play of every one else, and drag them along at the same time

If there is one thing that I have learned about arguments on the internet ( or in real life)......... Neither side is ever at fault LOL.

Rush I think your analysis is spot on. As I recall last year, after two terrible losses on the road to Nashville and Colorado which occurred at about the exact same time as now, actually I just looked it up and the loss to Nashville occurred on November 14 and the loss to Colorado occurred on November 16th, the Caps turned it around. So I am still hopefull for this season, I think getting Willie back will help both on the PK and even strength play. I think the lines will become more stable and that will help. Also I think we miss Orpik on the PK and we should be getting him back in 4 more games. I think Carlson’s description of the Caps play in yesterday’s game as being blah is perfect. I am worried about this upcoming road trip though, the first three games at least are going to be very tough and the Caps will need their A game to win. A performance like yesterday’s will result in 3 more losses.

Your continuing to quote/comment on something/someone you're supposedly "done with" seems like what you really want to do is have a confrontation? :clown: :wackysmile:
On a side note, sorry to hear about you getting snake bit Alta!! ??? I imagine that's some painful shit.. Saturday I was told their was a coral snake out in the hedge, so I rushed out there expecting to point out it was actually a king snake.. Nope, fucking coral snake. Tried to kill his ass but he was too quick. :-(

I only saw the last 10 minutes, but I notice they gave up 2 more PP goals??? WTF is wrong with the PK? I know they miss Wilson, but it seems like they can't stop anyone, anywhere on the PK this year.. Are they last in PK %??
