One thing should be abundantly clear and that is that Boyd is better than Panik. He may not score much but neither does Panik, apparently. But Boyd always seems to make smart plays with the puck and is dogged along the boards. Panik is a waste of a roster spot. Plus, you don't tinker with success. The Caps need to figure out sooner rather than later that this was a mistake signing.
On another topic, I'm having grave doubts about Samsonov. He looks unsteady out there and was absolutely awful in the shootout. You can't play inside the net and expect to stop anything. You have to get well out of the paint or you've had it.

I think it's too early to tell on Sammy, he's definitely got potential. but the Caps have already gone to two shootouts, and I think that's about the season average

Sammy did not have a good game...and was awful in the shootout.
He was pretty lights out in some games earlier in the season though. Another reason to get him consistent starts....to see if he gets better or is a Jeckyl/Hyde type of dude.
Mickstix:
Seems like all goalies struggle in SO's when they're green?? Didn't Holtby lose a couple before figuring it out?
As for Panik.. Yea, didn't notice him when he was healthy, didn't notice him when he was LTIR, and didn't notice him last night.. :smirk:

Sammy isn't completely green, he's got KHL experience, but that seems to be a league for NHL retirees and guys that aren't good enough for the NHL
