Top line needs to get their shit together. Kuzy is fucking being stupid and Ovi is literally blowing his 50 goal season and Rocket Richard win by not putting the damn puck in. What else do the Caps pay him for?

Hey Zero!
Couldn’t agree more with you and apace, on who most shoulders the blame tonite!
For all that Kuzy gets credit for, and he should, he also balances out negatively, often, and even worse, in a variety of ways.
On offense he is a paradox to me. He has some of the SICKEST, and most awesome puck moves, that can obliterate any defenseman, or goalie, AND YET....he also makes terrible pass and puck handling decisions, after crossing the blue line, that defy all logic! Ok, fair enough. If that were the only issue, I could live with it, if Kuzy’s production is high, no problem!
Well, so NOW, we talk Kuzy defense.... He gets beat ALL the time, by his opponent, scrambling down the ice, resulting in EXCELLENT, high chance shots, for the guy he’s supposed to cover on D, skating practically unguarded, with minimal, INEFFECTIVE, defensive effort! He ranks either AT the bottom, or very near it, in Hits, and blocked shots, also!! Almost nil!
So the frustration comes from trying to justify, in our heads, the huge gap of high and low, between Kuzy’s stellar play, and his horrible play! This guy seems to have the WIDEST range, from great to abysmal, I’ve ever seen on the ice!
Of course we want him on the ice, in 3 on 3 overtime. He’s a winning goal machine! But how much can we let his positive value, support “looking the other way”, with his negatives? Its a tough one to call, IMO!
Ovi, looked slow this evening, also! Like he left most of his hockey presence, and awareness, back in the locker room. He had some really slow reactions, to several “gimme” type shots for a goal!! Just completely out of sync with it tonite. Easy case to be made, that Ovi’s issue is temporary. Not so sure for Kuzy!! (Hope I’m wrong)!

Kuznetsov's a lazy ass who doesn't have his head in the game in the regular season.. We'll see if he can "turn it on" when the playoffs start (again) but playing that way is a poor recipe. He should really start the Flyers game centering Burt and Boyd. (And stay there till he looks like he gives a shat)
Ovie hasn't looked "right" to me in a while. Not sure how many games it took to get that 1200 point (probably 2) but it felt like a month.. lol
Holtby trying to check Crosby instead of play goal didn't help much. :huh:
But #92 brain farting the puck away led to 2 minutes of bullshit and another lopsided GA vs the Shitholes from Shitsburgh.. :O=
