Caps win 3-2, not that it matters at this point

Thanks for the GDT Alta!
Generally, as far as it’s affect on the season, I agree that these games don’t matter much, at all.
I will say though, that behind the scenes, there are quite a few individual player situations, that can garner a little interest.
Seeing Ovi, Wilson, Backy, Hagelin, Gudas, and a few other vets, play with some noticible good energy and motivation, in some personally, and relatively, meaningless games to them, is pretty cool.
Our backup goalies getting some exposure, for the fans to judge, not only how each of them plays, but it also sets up some natural comparison, to get an early feel of how the Caps may fare, without Holtby. Granted, it’s not much of a look, but better than no look at all. It’s also a possibility that we may have to deal with, as well! How much of a possibility, no one knows?
For me, another one is closely watching Kuzy! I am honestly hoping for him, and the Caps, that he turns it around, whatever the issue is, or was! BUT, DAMN!
I have to say, though, that again, he had ANOTHER, lame game! For any other Caps skater, I would say, no worries... it’s early... he’s rusty... etc.
For Kuzy, however, IMHO, if there’s ANYBODY, in an NHL uniform, that has good reason, to show IMMEDIATELY, AND, from the git-go, for himself, his family, his fellow players, management, and the FANS, that he is SERIOUS, about turning things around....IT IS HIM!!!
I believe he possesses a level of talent, so good, that he can damn near turn it on at will!! IF HE SO CHOOSES!
The fact that he hasn’t taken advantage of trying to look REAL good, early on, when preseason games are chock full of inexperienced, young, hopefuls, many of whom, Kuzy can outmaneuver, on his WORST days, is just sad to me! It looks too much like good fruit, just starting to rot!!
Right now, other than #92, I’m ok with what I’ve seen, so far, with the Caps! (Ok, well, I’m fibbing a bit, here. Carlson hasn’t caused my eyes to open much either)! 🤣 Damn ‘lude-head just exudes ATTENTIVENESS, doesn’t he?? BWAHAHA🤣😂🤣
AND....WE’RE OFF!!!!! CAPS 2019, BABY!!!
