Kuzy absolutely should have got a 2 + 2 for that high stick towards the end.
Bad reffing is bad reffing.
On a plus note, I had the Cane's feed, so got the face to face time with Big Willy in the first intermission! :-*

I feel guilty a bit guilty about this win. Between the Canes and officials the game was kind of handed to us. Officials have impacted the outcome of games way too often this season. The Caps have actually had more calls go our way than against. In the past it seemed those calls always went against us. Hopefully the officiating will improve.

I think what you are missing is how the lazy turnovers and lack of physical play really, really infuriates those of us that are not Carlson supporters.
I think it is time to wish him well and move on.

I am not in the camp that wants to get rid of Dylan right now. I don't think, as a team, we can afford to.
I believe it was me that coined the term "lacksadaisical" regarding him and that is my biggest issue with him. He has cost us at least one goal from his nonchalantly gliding back to the bench after his shift. Maybe two, but it was so obvious! It was embarrassing, pointless and just plain LAZY! He seems to have a slower mental capacity for the game than many. Everybody makes mistakes, yes, but he has so many brain farts! He's an easy target, for sure, but it's like he holds up the targets for us to aim at.
@ Maaco. You should have been here for the "Throw Mojo into the volcano" years! :P

I probably would have joined in on the Throw Mojo into the volcano. He was one if those guys that rubbed me the wrong. I thought we should have shipped him out a couple years earlier. I felt he was underachieving. I'm second guessing that a but now because we are seeing Burakovsky fail miserably. Maybe Mojo wasn't that bad. I have seen enough if Burakovsky. I wouldn't have a problem if he was a healthy scratch the rest of the year. I really hope we can trade this guy. Sorry if my opinions on him offend anyone but he just isn't doing for me.

Hey Maaco
Totally agree with you, both on Mojo, and Bura! Mojo had up and down, effort issues, as well!
Trotz calls out VERY FEW players by name, when it’s negative, but Bura has teetered in and out of Trotzys rifle scope, every season he’s been here! Mojo did produce 20+ goals a year, although he was lucky to be in the right place and the right time for many of them!
Bura is a different story. I don’t think he has the mentality to CONSISTENTLY play at the NHL level! He’s had 3 personal resets given him, by Trotz, and has never appreciably responded!
Anyway glad to be like minded with you on this one!

4 Caps:
I understand the discontent with Burakovsky but I have not given up on him yet. The kid has shown potential, he just has to find consistency and his injuries have not helped him. The fact is we need him to reach his potential because the only other young player the Caps have who has the potential to be a 25 to 30 goal scorer is Vrana. We are going to need scorers and if Burakovsky and Vrana don’t develop into consistent goal scorers we will be in big trouble down the road. Teams like the Devils, Flyers, Islanders and even Carolina have young forwards who have the potential to be 30 goal scorers in the near future. This is another reason we should not trade our first round draft pick this year at the trade deadline. We need to resupply our system with some top end prospects.
Surreylily:
His time is up.
Surreylily:
I have no problems or doubts with Vrana. Burro canT be gone quick enough for me.
He is Sasha Semin without the skill, but with a whole lot more attitude, IMHO. And without the whole mental health issue.
We have new emotes................
