Just got my new Capitals hat in the mail today and I’m ready for the game!
Hi Rush,Thanks AJ!
Good to have you here during the game. Used to hearing your wisdom when you get back home from games.
AJ
"SamSOWnov"... :snicker:
I like Vrana playin hungry!Or replace it with a “$”
Management also needs to add some more letters next to that shiny new ”A” on Carlson’s jersey.
Add three little floating letter, “Z’s”! Just like on the old style Sominex bottles!!😂🤣😂
Rush
Vrana is really looking good but we need more out of our bottom 6. They haven’t done much in 4 periods. Have created zero scoring chances. Defense is looking solid again especially Carlson and Siegenthaler. Also Fehrvary for his second game has shown a lot of poise.
Or replace it with a “$”😂!!
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.
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!!
Rush
Caps seem to be dropping that cutesy, fancy, shooting plague, from last year, and seem more willing to just tee it up!!
I’m liking it!
Rush
Good start. See you in red tomorrow. ;D Night, night peeps. :yawn:
Nice shutdown in the 3rd! 3 games in 4 nights.. Yikees.. See ya'll tomorrow! I'll bring the Bourbon!! :uh-huh:
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.
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.
you aren’t gonna hang around for the rounders game??
