Michal Kempny cleared for contact, likely to return next week

After being placed on the ‘injured non roster’ list on Tuesday, Capitals defenseman Michal Kempny has finally been cleared for contact.

Kempny was skating on Wednesday morning, wearing a dark blue contact jersey, according to The Washington Post’s Samantha Pell.

Samantha Pell
@SamanthaJPell
Todd Reirden said Michal Kempny, who was skating in a regular dark blue jersey today, is cleared for contact. No update to whether he plays later in the week vs NYI or CAR, but Reirden didn’t rule it out.
1:40 PM - Oct 2, 2019

While Reirden did not rule out that Kempny could return as soon as Friday’s matchup against the New York Islanders, or Saturday’s home opener against Carolina, NHL.com’s Tom Guilitti reported that it was more likely that the Czech defenseman will return the following week.

Tom Gulitti
@TomGulittiNHL
Reirden confirmed Kempny has been cleared for contact.  Didn’t completely rule out him playing in one of the games later this week, but said likely he won’t play until next week.
1:37 PM - Oct 2, 2019 · St Louis, MO

The road to recovery has been slow and steady for Kempny, who was injured after getting tangled up with Tampa Bay’s Cedric Paquette in March. The resulting hamstring tear required surgery, and Kempny spent the summer, and all of the preseason, rehabbing.

Kempny passed his conditioning test on September 28th, but Reirden stressed that they did not want to rush him back before he was ready.

“We’re still hoping things continue to move in the right direction. Just another few days to get him past the opener there. Then [give him] time [so he’s] been through contact and a number of different situations so he’s really comfortable on the ice,” Reirden said. “We don’t want to put him out there unprepared. No preseason games for him. We’ll practice and put him in situations where there’s a lot of five-on-five play.”

While Kempny continues to move closer to his return, 19-year-old defenseman Martin Fehervary and Jonas Siegenthaler will be in the lineup for the season opener after both players impressed during Training Camp and the preseason.

as we know, when the nhl says 8:00 they really mean 8:15, and with the Blues raising the banner tonight I expect 8:30 at the earliest

Pheonix Copley placed on waivers; Ilya Samsonov set to make NHL debut Friday against Islanders


Carlson was named an alternate captain yesterday by the Caps.

Wow! I thought they liked Copley quite a bit. Was that due to salary cap issues?  How did we get under - I thought we would have to make a trade?

Just a stupid move.   About the only good thing about it is he’s less likely to be claimed this early.


GMBetaMale is betting on, and will market this kid being a goalie messiah making Holtby expendable.   This all fine and good for a team hoping to just make the playoffs and sell a few jerseys, but not a team that expects to win a Cup

Caps are currently $150k under the salary cap I believe. Samsonov's cap hit is $175k less than Copley's. I doubt this is the reason.  They must really like Samsonov. It seems they've been grooming him for the future and like what they see. I have to say that watching him I like him too. I'll miss Copley though.

Copley was a cap issue, they are hoping no one picks him up. At the conclusion of this season Holts and Backy will need contracts too, but there is no reason to get excited about it until after the Seattle draft.

This seasons pretty much gonna come down to Reidon.


Him not adapting his system and style to his new roster, and to what the other coaches are gonna do is will be a bigger weakness than it was last year.


The stat-padding crap he did last year, won’t make it to game 7 of the first round this year that’s for damn sure

Let’s be honest, this is going to be a tough game for the Caps to win.  The Blues will be fired up after this pre-game ceremony just like the Caps were last season in the opening game against Boston which the Caps won 7 to 0.  The start will be the key tonight, if Caps score the first goal that could be huge.  GO CAPS.

Always loved to help. This year I am in the same boat as you. I tossed out my cable company and saved big $$$.  I was going to pay for NHL.TV, but found out they black out all local games. So I could watch ALL NHL games EXCEPT for the Capitals if I bought their service. Just when you thought the NHL could not  be any more stupid.  These livestreams are finicky and unreliable as hell. I missed first 5 game minutes of pretty much every game so far. Even the working ones drop out every few minutes and sometimes when they return sends you back to before the cutout, even when you go "LIVE".  We need a good livestream option. Sad that the only option is to get a free unreliable connection.

Report: Pierre McGuire removed from NBC’s No. 1 NHL team in favor of Brian Boucher

As per a report from The Athletic's Rick Carpiniello, Pierre McGuire will still reportedly call games for NBC, but not on the No. 1 team. NBC's statement didn't confirm or deny the report, but said that Brian Boucher will again work with the top team of Mike "Doc" Emrick and Eddie Olczyk on opening night.

There’s a report out there from Rick Carpiniello (The Athletic’s New York Rangers reporter) that would represent a massive change in the U.S. hockey broadcasting landscape, with Pierre McGuire off NBC’s top NHL broadcasting team and Brian Boucher (also a long-running NBC analyst) replacing him. McGuire will still reportedly be calling other games for NBC, though.



So for old times sake:

A few years ago I had the NHL tv thingammy  I try to always do things right, if I can, but I had the same issues.  I got into a discussion with them, citing that I wasn't actually in the US, or Canada, or een on the same continent, so how could I lge blocked "locally".
Totally illogicl, right?
Totally stupid.
I don't have money to pay for games that I can't see.  As much as I want to do the right thing and pay for the privilege, the NHL doesn't exactly help.
Besides, watching games have to have  the personal touch.  The GDT's where w get the carrmeraderie, the TEAM spirit.

I watched the game on about 2 hour delay, so couldn't join the board party.


Boys looked good I thought.  After the first 10 minute onslaught anyway.  Figured the BLues would bring it being in their barn and the cup thingy and all.  Honestly I figured us for a loss in this one.
Seems the Caps are playing a more aggressive play, which I like.  Might get burnt here and there because of it, but definitely seem to be on the attack more.  I was a bit worried that will fade once the roster settles in and everyone has a job.  The youngins at camp were trying to earn a spot so you figure they would put in the effort.
Time will tell, but I like what we've seen so far.  Jake looked good.  Ovi looked good.  Hell, everyone looked pretty good.  If Jake and Willy live up to what they could be, this could be an exciting year.  Stepho looked good I thought too.
One more thing, with the roster moves we've made, our penalty kill should certainly be better than last year.  We have so many guys who are/can be good PK guys.


I was shocked to hear two of the NBC talking heads pick the Caps for winning the East?  Didn't think they garnered that much respect.


Good Game.


Go Caps

A few observations regarding last night and the season:


For those concerned about the Caps shooting enough, the shots last night were 34-22.  However the dominance in play went, the Caps did the job in shot suppression.  This is going to be a big deal going forward, because the team was retooled this offseason with defense in mind and the offense most likely will regress a bit.


I understand Samsanov will get Friday's game.  Obviously, the Caps are taking the Salary Cap opportunity afforded by Kuzy's suspension to get a first look at him.  Samsanov has to get all the looks the team can get him this season so they can figure out how they move forward WRT the goalie situation, but the team may be limited in that regard by the salary cap issue.  They are obviously going to try to take every chance they get.  And I presume that Samsanov will get a lot of work in Hershey when he is down there.


Having said that, the Caps must be diligent in how they handle the backup goaltender situation this season from a standings point of view.  Last year Copley went 16-7-3 as the backup.  That's 35 standings points in a year the Caps were 9 standings points away from missing the playoffs.  Regardless of how good of a goalie one thinks Copley is/was last season, he was good enough to make an enormous contribution in a year where Holtby was OK but not great in the regular season.  It is not realistic for fans to expect the backup goalie to produce that level of standings support this season, regardless of which player(s) man the position.  Which means that, to make the playoffs again this season the Caps probably need to get more from Holtby.
