G61 Capitals @ Devils 1:00pm Sat Feb 22, 2020 NBCSWA, MSG+

[RavenCp]

Caps turned to mediocre team, something has to be done.

[KollieOlizig]

And that's gonna be game.  5 v 3 and they will score and we didn't.  Bullshit call but you expected it.

   Kempny could have been called twice before the ref finally made the call.

[apace41]

Can't do this two days in a row.  I'm going to find something else to do rather than watch them get their balls stepped on by a much better team that will be pissed for ITS OWN bad effort today.

Absolutely, but did you SEE what Palmieri did to provoke him?  They cleaned out Samsonov and he held Kempny's stick for the entire PP.  Should have sent both off but due to lopsided penalties they only sent Kempny.  Of course his slash was a penalty.  He should sit tomorrow.

[KollieOlizig]

Nick no stick and 72 out there.  It was 5-2.

     You must mean 92. Kuzy did try to give his stick to Backstrom but  Backstrom either didn't see it or just couldn't get it. That is the only smart thing I've seen Kuzy do this season.  Maybe the lowest hockey I ever.

   Kempny did retaliate but that is call the refs always make. Very selfish play by Kempny.

Before that Kempby vlindsided him and punched him in the back of the head.

Yes.  Meant Kuzy (who has sucked since return from injury).

Agreed.  Very selfish and cost them a point.

Somebody moved the deys on my keyboard again....

Yes, but they both fouled and both should have gone off.  The league claimed to have cut down on letting fouls go based on game situation but the NHL talks out of both sides of its mouth.

[apace41]

Bottom line, as I said before, is that if they don't make a serious change at the deadline or change out the coach, this team is dead and buried and will be watching in April in one of the historic collapses in league history.

Palefce spek with forked tongue.

Rob Carling summed it up when he said it was a laundry list of repeat problems that aren't being fixed.

[Surreylily]

Well, we know Kempny will be sat tomorrow.
I would be okay to sit Nicky too - call it a maintenance day.....

That's coaching.  The team wasn't ready for the playoffs last season because he sucks and they are in a freefall because he sucks.

I'd prefer to sit Panik - for the rest of his contract.

He hasn't been great lately, but then who has?  Apart from Eller and TJ.... 
There are others wou I woud put ahead of him in that queue.

    Eller has been playing well but was bad today. Mind you pretty much everyone was. I think our best all around player right now is Wilson.

I'd go with Oshie, but as you say, slim pickings right now..
