mr norris was a -5

Once again it's all about 74. Was he the only guy that had a bad game?
The last minus was on the empty net goal. I think Ovie and Kuzy were minus 4.

Rask was very good today, but then he's had a little more time.
If you remember, Holtby was not so great his first year or so with us. It as only when we got the "Goalie Whisperer" on board that he started to blossom. These two yunguns may take a little longer.

The Bruins are far dirtier than they used to be They always used to play hard, but never got dirty untill the Rat joined them. Not that I'm blaming it all on him.
Still.....
That last Halfway hit = The guy turned his back right at the last second. Dangerous and stupid thing to do. The plan worked though, huh!

the league has told these guys a couple times to not turn their backs at the last minute all the time

Ovie Kuzy are two of our worst defensive forwards
John Carlson is supposed to be our Norris trophy candidate which is “supposed to be” for the best defensive player in the league
So a -5 for a great defensive player is notable
He was not the only bad Caps player today but he had probably a worse game than anyone
We rag on him because although a good and important player for the Caps and also much improved defensively over say 3-4 years ago...
He is still not a great defensive player. He is a great player who happens to be a defenseman

Yeah. It will be interesting as to whether they will take that into account when they review it. I kind of already know what the :bs: result will be..
