All things considered, I’m very surprised with how The Caps are playing in front of the rookie tonight.


They haven’t allowed many (if any) quality shots, so Sams hasn’t needed to stand on his head like the Caps goalie normally does.  They also haven’t been making the normal amount bad turnover, extra passes, bad shots etc. that we come to expect.


I gotta say cheers to Reidon after that period

Vrana is really looking good but we need more out of our bottom 6.  They haven’t done much in 4 periods.  Have created zero scoring chances.  Defense is looking solid again especially Carlson and Siegenthaler.  Also Fehrvary for his second game has shown a lot of poise.

And they seem to be energized to shoot the puck a bit more!!


I definitely don’t miss Kuzy holding that puck too long without taking a shot either!!

Hey 4Caps!!
 How you been man?
 Good to see you back!
 I think this bottom six is going to change once Kuzy comes back. I figure Kuzy will be in line 2 with Vrana, and Oshie.
Then possibly, a combo I really like, would be Eller and Hagelin on line 3, the Dowd and Stephenson on 4. We’ll see!!

I agree that when Kuzy comes back and Eller moving to the 3rd line that should improve it.  So far I have not seen much from Panick.  Hope he picks it up.

I love Gudas' constant effort. Never liked him before, but he's quite a fit for the Caps. Kind of like Hagelin was for me. These Caps are hanging tough on defense.

Samsonov looking good, it is a shame Islanders got that fluky goal.  Hopefully we will shut the Islanders down in the 3rd period and Samsonov will get the win but I am sure the Islanders are going to throw everything they have at him.  Hopefully, the Caps don’t sit back but continue to attack and get a couple of more goals.

Tomorrow's game should be a very tough fight. Canes are dirty, nasty, and they will bring all that since they can't play hockey. So expect a tough fight, but an easy hockey win.
 :snicker:


I thought Gudas was hustling pretty well tonight, as he did last game too. I find it amazing that this 31 year old has grown an inch since last year. Was listed as 5'11" last year. This year he is listed as 6'0".

Here's a few that grew since last season. These are from my records. All wen't from 5'11" to 6'0".

2018-2019
Travis Boyd            72   C    R   5' 11"  185   Sep 14, 1993    Edina, MN, USA
Shane Gersich        63   LW  L   5' 11"  175   Jul  10, 1996      Chaska, MN, USA
Carl Hegelin           62    LW  L   5' 11"  186   Aug 23, 1988    Sodertalje, SWE
T.J. Oshie               77   RW  R   5' 11"  195   Dec 23, 1986    Everett, WA, USA

2019-2020

I'm happy we're going with Samsonov as backup. Even if he's not as polished or experienced as a guy like Copley, I'd rather have a young guy with room to grow getting the opportunities to grow here, than have a guy who's halfway through his career and has already hit his ceiling.

Has anyone heard, did Copley clear waivers?


He may have been sent down, but he's sill an important piece of the organization if there is a goalie injury.


To answer my own question, apparently he did.  He is listed on the Hershey roster, along with Vanacek, as the goalies.  That is a pretty strong AHL goalie tandem.

As long as he gets enough work here to continue his development.  Interestingly, the Caps have only 12 back-to-backs this season, so the team is going to have to find a lot of other opportunities for him to get in there.  Hopefully the goaltending load will be split perhaps about 2 to 1, with Holtby getting, say, 55 starts and Samsonov the other 27.

I fully agree. Let the kid play and give him some opportunities to develop. I'm excited because he's young and has potential. Plus, I honestly think we need someone available to be the new starter because I'm doubtful we'll be able to extend Holtby (because he's going to cost $10 million a year and because honestly I think Backstrom should have priority over Holtby). As such, getting Samsonov ready to roll as an NHL starter this season will be vital.


Plus, the year we won the Cup, Holts had a pretty light load during the season (mostly because he was having a bad season and Grubauer was favored over him). But maybe that extra rest made a difference. So yeah, let's keep Holtby to 50-55 starts and let the kid get the rest.

Agree totally Zero, with you and Black, on getting Samsonov some good playing time.


Also think that keeping Backie over Holtby, for overall team value is the greater good.


Good post
