I think they should give Samsonov more games to play, then Holtby we'll feel that he's not the only one and has to compete. Also Samsonov ganes experience and value.

I could not believe the excuse Joe B. offered as to why the PK was so crappy (in our own zone with nary a clear), saying it was because of a non-call of a hook on Carlson. Unbelievable!  I wouldn't let pee wee hockey get away with that excuse.  At least Holtby stood on his head and kept it 1-0.

Nice PK boys!

Squeaked through it with Holtby's exceptional skill. I guess any PK that prevents a goal is a nice one!   ;)

ETA
Hawks have some incredible speed and skill. They were blinding fast at times on their PP, and our guys were not at their best it seemed.

Caps very fortunate to be ahead in this game.  At even strength we are being outplayed.  The 4th line is the only line holding its own.  The other 3 lines are being outplayed.  Rierden is mixing up the lines trying to get something going.  On the last shift he had Kuzy playing wing on a line with Eller and Wilson.  Hopefully Caps will pick it up in the 3rd period, if they don’t I don’t see them winning this game.  Holtby is keeping them in the game.

The team as a whole looks good. Defensive lapses here and there but overall (compared to the blues) this looks lik a TEAM. PP clicks PK clicks. This is good to see

I totally agree. It's only October and they look much better than any recent October I can recall.  Better even than their current record.

Can’t say enough about the PK, it basically won the game for us.  What a difference from last season.  Also we have improved on our faceoffs, especially Kuzy.  First line finally got it going in the third period, they did not look good the first two periods.

What surprised me a bit was the defense utilization.


I thought when Kempny returned that he would be eased into the lineup and eventually take the place of Siegenthaler as Carlson's partner, which would bump Sieg down to the 3rd pair, where I thought at this stage of his development would be a more appropriate place for him.


Yesterday Kempny's time bumped up from 14+ minutes his first game to 19+ minutes -- but Siegenthaler still played over 21 minutes!!  The loser in this seems to be Orlov, and he has NOT gotten off to a good start this season.   Yes, Sieg has made some mistakes and seems slow to react sometimes, but you have to remember he's played as Carlson's partner in large part during Kempny's absence, which means by default he has had to play against the top opposing lines.  He has held his own, which is a great development for the defensive depth.


The contrast with Bowey is marked.  Bowey was drafted #53, Sieg #57.  Both thought of in sort of a similar fashion as NHL potential, though they are different players.  But Bowey never really developed as the Caps wanted, while early returns suggest the outcome might be much, much different for Siegenthaler.

I watched both weekend games late (on delay).  Caps looked good against the Rags, better than the score as several others have said.  Holtby was certainly better.

THe Hawks game, Caps really did not look like they were all in it, but then picked up the pace.  I thought for sure I would witness another third period collapse, especially after they tied it.  Glad to see the Caps show some fight, and win this.

Anytime you score a PPG, AND a SHG in a game, you should win it.  THe SHG is tough to overcome.  Caps penalty kill saved them this game.

I have to say, I liked most of the off-season acquisitions on paper when they were made, and so far, these guys are performing better than I expected.  They certainly have bolstered some glaring weaknesses we had last year (PK, and overall toughness)  I really had no real idea of these guys' play or abilities (other than Gudas), but did like the type of character and toughness the Caps went after.  Panik hasn't done all that much, but Hathaway looks great, Gudas is looking good, Leipsic way better than expected, and Hags looks good on the PK and has started to show some offensive punch too.  The season is only just begun, and time will tell, but the GM is looking pretty good with these moves.  I know these were forced due to cap issues, but moving Nisky and bringing these guys in is looking pretty good.  If the D (especially the youngins) can hold up, this team is looking pretty solid.

I really wonder what the caps had planned for Stephenson and Djoos.  I know arbitration kind of screwed the Caps on both guys, and the smaller than expected cap put them in a bind, but why the heck are they carrying Djoos?  I wonder if they were just hedging to see how Kempney recovery went.

ANyway, nice to see the PK looking better and the team having a little more grit this year.  Everything does look better after a win though, but I'll take it.


GO Caps

Oh yeah, and our Norris candidate is looking damn good this year.  I always have (and probably always will) give Johhny Q a lot of grief about his marshmallow play, but he has looked good this year.  Surprised we haven't heard the Norris word mentioned in every breath from Locker so far.

Alan May has been carrying the load there! Almost every breath though.

I too, Rich, have to credit Carlson!
Two reasons:
I’ll probably never like much of his TOTAL defensive game. It typically looks slow reacting, with an obvious avoidance of heavy physical contact, when required, chronic unnecessary icing, and so on! Eternally hard to accept, ESPECIALLY with his physical size at around 6’3”, 215!
HOWEVER....


1) He seems to be making an honest attempt at a more overall physical game, and his defensive decisions have slightly improved overall, so far! (Still would prefer to see his fat ass out of the crease, as he can’t commit to the physical play necessary for that role)! But I digress....


2) Even though I would have preferred hearing reports from practice, starting last year, thru present day, that Carly was working of defensive skills, there WERE reports, throughout, that Rierden has focused attention at Carlson, working and improving his OFFENSIVE skills!
Hands down, I have to admit, this seems to have paid off, as we see the start of some league-leading assist numbers, some quite accurate, and deadly, slap shots, and some greatly improved passing, especially in setting up good SOG chances!


I know that if ‘ol Maaco we’re still here on the boards, he’d be having a coronary by now!LOL😂


No worries, he’s still Johnny Q to me! But for now it’s Johnny Q, with some good O numbers!🤣
It’s much easier to overlook some of Carly’s negatives, like we do Ovi’s aimless skating around, sometimes, when there’s a credible, positive offset!!


(Maybe his wife reads our BOARDS)!

Rush - let's not get carried away on Carlson - ha!  I think the assist stat is mostly worthless.  If they just tracked primary assists it would be more meaningful. Secondary assists are just coincidences 90% of the time.  Also, keep in mind that a good percentage of Carlson's assists are passing over to Ovie on the PP - which is a set pattern play.  Yes, he does it well, but I don't consider that a quality assist.


I will say, his overall offensive game is pretty good.  His shot from the point has improved significantly and he is good when he joins the play.


Now, if he would just use that big body in the D zone.....

LMAO, Beags!😂
Point taken!
I agree that those secondary assists are cheap points, and Carly has a TON of ‘em!
What freezes me mainly, to never sincerely warming up to the guy, is two-fold:


1) His God-given size, relative to his RELUCTANCE, yes I said RELUCTANCE, to NOT be physical on defense. It’s not ignorance, in that he doesn’t understand HOW to be physical. He just blatantly, and routinely AVOIDS it! In other words, a CHRONIC PUSSY!!!


2) The fact that he inherited the most GRAVY, of opportunities, from the time he was drafted, evolving further to spotting the PP puck, for one of the best PP snipers in NHL history, combined with the NEVER-ENDING, way overkilled, positive media treatment,(especially from Joe and Locker), that has habitually force fed us, ad nauseam, through the years, over-inflated BUNK, on even the littlest of trifles about Carlson’s play, yet, SIMULTANEOUSLY, we hear crickets mostly, on his frequent and obvious defensive shortcomings, that are too numerous to mention!


 I realize the media part is not Carlson‘s fault,  but it just helps to sour the already bitter opinion, I have held on him over the years! LOL!


Additionally, his synaptically slow, and boring, vanilla commentary, is so predictable, and repetitively void of specifics, as to convey the famous Quaalude induced, lazy, no-give-a-shit, appearance, that draws those fans of our ilk, so WARMLY to him!!! BWAAHAHAHA!😂


I will say that at one point, my disdain for him, was quite visceral!
But somewhere during last season, with the 8 YEAR, we’re-stuck-with-his-ass, CONTRACT, inked and done, I resigned myself to attempting acceptance of the situation, as an overall stress preventative! LOL!


I DID begin to take note that he was developing a pretty wicked slap shot, that was more accurate, than the desperate fling-and-hope shit, he had been doing,in prior years, to try and makeup for his crappier production slumps, that were habitually the NORM for him, beforehand!


That, and the fact that, for reasons I don’t completely understand, practically every Caps player, in the locker room, LOVES the guy! Go figure?


 I’m not too proud to admit that I don’t know why, but it is pretty evident.
 I accept it, and this, any way you slice it, is certainly overall GOOD for our team!


Here’s to Johnny Q!  Inheritor of a silver platter, career opportunity, that he may be just starting to scratch managing it, at over .500!!😂🤣😂🤣


 Good to hear from you Beags,  I trust all is well!
