Christian Djoos scores one-handed ending 61-game goalless streak
(https://i2.wp.com/russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/christian-djoos-goal-one-handed.jpg?fit=1024%2C512&ssl=1)
Headline photo:

Christian Djoos made his grand return to the lineup Saturday after missing 24 games due to a thigh injury and surgery for compartment syndrome.

Djoos wasted no time getting back in the scoresheet, tallying his first goal since [blows off dust from sports almanac] December 30, 2017 — a 61-game goalless streak.

He scored one-handed.

I’m serious. You have to see this.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_6nWnl-5rE

The goal was 50 percent speed, 50 percent overpassing, which is So Caps.

Evgeny Kuznetsov did the heavy lifting, carrying the puck into the offensive zone and finding Alex Ovechkin ambling down the center lane. Ovechkin then found Djoos, who had joined the rush and snuck down below the circles, with a pass. Instead of shooting at an empty net, Djoos passed back to Ovechkin.

Ovi one-timed the puck, but the shot didn’t get through. Djoos then poked at the puck one-handed…

https://thumbs.gfycat.com/HarshOffbeatGossamerwingedbutterfly-mobile.mp4

I’m pretty sure this is not how Todd wrote it up on the bench, but I’m sure he’ll take it every day of the week.

At intermission, Al Koken asked Djoos, somewhat sarcastically, when was the last time Christian scored one-handed. He got a serious reponse back.

“I cannot remember it, too long,” Djoos said. “I tried joining the rush and Ovi gave me a great pass. I tried to give it back first but just a little poke check.”

Now Nicky is going to have to do this every game.

And because I couldn’t help myself, you guys…

When Evgeny Kuznetsov takes the mic, have the [bleeping] bleep button handy

(https://www.washingtonpost.com/resizer/D8_EGBuUSnFtXetHq5m44q9ngcQ=/480x0/arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/XPTLLPBOOII6TB4BOY3BT4JMWQ.jpg)

At times during his Capitals career, Evgeny Kuznetsov has proved to be as dangerous with a microphone in his face as with a puck on his stick, but the Russian forward’s postgame comments on live television following his four-point night on Monday were free of any four-letter words.

Kuznetsov, who had two goals and two assists in Washington’s 6-4 win over the Kings and now has 12 points in his last six games, was looser with his words after scoring the overtime winner against Colorado last Thursday. During an interview with NBC Sports Washington’s Al Koken immediately following that triumph, Kuznetsov was asked about teammate Tom Wilson sticking up for him after Ian Cole’s cheap shot.

“That’s huge, you know?” Kuznetsov said. “We know Tom play physical and he’s huge for us. When s--- like that happen, he stand up. That’s always nice to have a guy like that on the team.”

    Kuzy is legendary on the mic https://t.co/ynQ5PDSWJv (https://t.co/ynQ5PDSWJv)
    — Danny (@recordsANDradio) February 8, 2019

“If people don’t like it, sorry about that,” the 26-year-old Kuznetsov said over the weekend. " . . . Any other day I’m maybe not going to speak like that, but after a game and during a game, I’m emotional. That’s what I play for, those type of emotions.”

Though it more commonly takes place in a locker room scrum than in a one-on-one interview on live TV, Kuznetsov’s casual cursing often colors his answers to reporters’ various questions.

Kuznetsov on Alex Ovechkin reaching 600 career goals last March: “Holy f---, that’s a lot of goals.”

On whether winning the Hart Trophy was a personal goal: “I don’t give a s--- about that. To be MVP, you have to work hard 365 [days] in a year, but I’m not ready for that.”

On being benched for taking an ill-advised slashing penalty in a game earlier this month: “Uh, that s--- happens, right?”

“If you look at [other players’] interviews, they’re all pretty same, right?” Kuznetsov said when asked about his cursing habit. “If I talk to media, especially after a game, always emotional and that’s all me. I don’t want to give, like, kind of form [response] like they teach you . . . I’m pretty sure the kids already know this, right? It’s probably not a bad idea to teach them, but that’s all me. That’s nature. I think that people want to see that, the nature of the emotional.”

Kuznetsov’s emotions — and nerves — got the best of him at the Capitals’ Stanley Cup victory parade last June, when he was unexpectedly encouraged to say a few words to the assembled crowd. His impromptu speech began innocently enough and concluded with the most R-rated (and hilarious, depending on whom you ask) line of the day.

“For some guys it’s been a long way to get to that point, but we’re never going to be there without our parents, without our fans, without our families,” Kuznetsov said. “And let’s f--- this s---!”

    "Let's f*ck this sh*t!" is my new life motto pic.twitter.com/Ej1qS3p3R9
    — CJ Fogler (@cjzero) June 12, 2018

“I was nervous a little bit,” Kuznetsov later told Sports Illustrated’s Alex Prewitt. “And every time I nervous, I swear. That one funny. You can see where it’s natural, right? Those words, I wish I can speak better so I can give a good speech or prepare. But that was first come from my mind, that’s what I said. You don’t have to explain anything. It’s natural. Everyone understand right away.”

Kuznetsov didn’t speak English when he left the KHL to join the Capitals in March 2014, four years after Washington drafted him in the first round. He regularly swore growing up and some of the first English words he learned from his new NHL teammates were, naturally, curse words.

“I know even better words,” Kuznetsov said with a laugh. “ . . . That’s the problem. When you talk like that for so many years, sometimes you just don’t even think what you’re saying. It’s just normal words for you, but for some people I guess that’s bad.”

While many Capitals fans appreciate Kuznetsov’s unfiltered nature, Kuznetsov told reporters last March that Capitals VP of Communications Sergey Kocharov didn’t appreciate him dropping the f-bomb when talking about Ovechkin’s 600th goal. A few days later, after scoring an overtime winner against the Rangers, Kuznetsov appeared to stop himself from letting a bad word slip during a G-rated locker room interview.

“I can’t swear anymore, you know?” he said with a grin.

    Kuznetsov was also asked about Ovechkin and 600 goals again. Mentioned that “our PR guy doesn’t really like my answer when I said bad word ...” (referencing his “holy f—-“ line)
    — Isabelle Khurshudyan (@ikhurshudyan) March 24, 2018

Nearly a year later, Kuznetsov as a polished interview subject remains a work in progress, especially after a game.

“I’m trying to get better, but sometimes, like I said, it’s emotional,” he said. “[Sergey] know me. When he put me out there, he know it’s 50-50.”

So, since we want to send a message to BJ's for their last "performance" on our home ice....
Well I am sure as hell glad we are scratching anyone that shows any grit on this team (Jaskin).   :clap:




We have Tom Wilson, backed by......(crickets chirping)


Well, we always have Eller if things start to get really chippy.  :raspberry:






Go Caps.

Jaskin, one of the harder working bottom 6 on the Caps, is scratched again. Which makes me question Reirdon even more, but also means this team has enough forewards. If GMGM actually makes a move this year, how much you wanna bet he gets another foreward?

I don't get it.  I mean they TRADED to GET Jaskin.  Now they don't want to use him?  Maybe the dude has a bad attitude or something we don't know, but some B/A on the ice would be nice.
He's not the greatest, but he hustles, and works, and digs, and fights for the puck.....something this team is severely short on. Also hits people...also something we short on.
I don't get it.  He must be boning Rierdon's old lady or something. :P

We didn’t trade for Jaskin, we claimed him when St.Louis put him on waivers.  I think the reason Stevenson and DSP play in front of him is that they are better penalty killers and Stevenson is more defensively responsible.

Alarming how we get flat dominated on the forecheck. Then all the stupid penalties.. Hooking no less. I looked up "hooking" in the dictionary and it says "Lazy fucks style of hockey"  :-\ If your going to the box at least get your monies worth with a roughing call or boarding or something. Cross check?  :snicker: Assholes..  :raspberry:

Caps are fortunate to be tied after one, I was afraid that Columbus would be fresher having two days off and we are playing back to back.  Can’t say that I am optimistice about the outcome of this game.

As in the last few games the penalties tonight were crap imagined calls. The refs have managed to get worse just when you though they had reached the pinnacle of crap!

I think in the last 3 games the Caps have been victimized by some bad calls against them and some non calls against our opponent.  I still can’t get over the non call in the game last night when Stephenson was tripped on a shorthanded breakaway.

This is a pretty pathetic offensive effort.  Still only 7 SOG, AND none of them from any closer than the face-off circles.  It's as if no one has any legs at all.


I'm sorry, but efforts like this aren't on the coach.  I don't care if he's a stone wall, the team ought to be able to generate more than this simply by being on the ice.  If this is all we can get because we don't have the oomph to keep up in a back-to-back game, then we'd better start thinking about getting younger.  Of course, Kuzy/Vrana/Wilson/Bura/Stephenson aren't getting it done tonight either.

I feel like screaming at the lackadaisical play by these Caps.  They honestly don't deserve to play in this league this year, much less make the playoffs.  I think these guaranteed paychecks take away incentive to play well. Make the money dependent on individual and team success and we'll see more effort.  They don't seem to realize the importance of this game or even care.

Before they scored the second, I was thinking this was the most lopsided 1-0 game I can remember seeing.  It may still be one of the most lopsided 2-0 games I've seen.


EDIT:  I was a couple of minutes behind.  Now it's 3-0.  Looks a little more like the domination they showed.

This isn’t going well folks!!  DUH!
So many issues right now.
Say what you may, but the FACT is, All Caps teams under TROTZ, in hindsight, developed issues, like clockwork, around, and just after the all star break! And it BEGAN to look disappointing a bit!!  But it NEVER went on this LONG, without observable correction!!
THEN, like clockwork, they FOUND A WAY, and began winning streaks, and FINISHED opponents in the third period!  This can be regarded as a generally consistent signature of this teams seasonal performance, when Trotz was here! REMEMBER!!


Sadly, yet honestly, we are nowhere NEAR having that kind of team caliber!!! This is mid-Feb NHL hockey. So it’s fair to say, as anyone rightly should, that there is PLENTY of hockey left, and that is a TRUE statement, on its face!


Problem is that there is precious little evidence to be derived from observing the Caps playing as a team together, at this point!  What chemistry do we see? Any shutdown ability on defense, when we have a lead? Any Power play potential? PK potential to improve? Anybody noticing any markedly DOMINANT play for even two straight periods?...... ANYBODY???


There is a prolonged lack of consistent chemistry throughout their game! Not just RECENTLY, but like, for some time now!
Goals, hustle, grit, good crisp passing, and successfully bringing the puck up from our defending end, happen in a RANDOM manner, more often than by DESIGN!  We are unable to generally dictate OUR game on anyone, at this point! The minimal successes we are having lately, come as disjointed and inconsistent, with not much WHY, or WHY NOT, being known!  It just happens kinda Willy-nilly!!


Even more depressing, it appears that the “what to do” to correct things, escapes ALL in the organization, right now! This is NOT a good place to be at, for the team, and fans!


Mick and Zero both alluded to this Columbus game as a true test, or a check for fire-in-the-belly!!
Undoubtedly, and unfortunately, they are CORRECT!


Not normally this gloomy folks, but there’s a time to remove the blinders!


Lastly, I’d love to be, and hope I am, dead wrong!!(said as a true Caps fan)!


Rush
