Frank in, Milano out. And there may be some line changes for tonight.
On paper, the Caps 5 on 5 scoring is some of the best in the league. Special teams suck though. The PP is now 1 fer 19 in the last 6 games and 7 fer 46 on the season. PK wasn’t too bad until the Pittsburgh game.

There's not much to say. They simply can't score. In 44 combined games, McMichael, Lapierre and Leonard have 4 goals and 9 assists. Having three guys they were counting on muster a total of 13 points over 15 games is utterly pathetic. Management rightly deserves all the blame they get. They simply crossed their fingers and hoped these guys would do the job when they should have been looking to bring in one or two proven producers.

Yea, McMike has been a big disappointment. Didn't really expect much from Lappi. Still hoping Leonard turns into a star, but kid needs ice to do it. Carbs, Im afraid, is caught up with keeping everyone's ego in check.. Carlson and Ovi both need relieved from PP1. Let the kids lead, even if they fail. (Can't be worse than it already is) Maybe someone surprises.
