--- Quote from: richkrt99 on Sunday April 18, 2021, 03:19:54 PM Eastern ---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

and he's overpaid by at least $3M a year

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

It isn't working. Players have no awareness of their surroundings and they put themselves in vulnerable positions all the time. Whether it's turning your back towards an on coming head or skating through the middle of the ice with their head down. Players have to start taking some responsibility for their own safety.

post game, tarik asked Willy about the Kuraly "hit",
Willy: are you serious? it was a nothing play, he's fine
I've never been impressed with Tarik as a sports reporter

What are you going to do if 74 ever gets moved? You will have no one to complain about.
You didn't complain when he got 4 assists yesterday. I don't think you gave him any credit either.
