Leonard has looked good I think especially considering his age and his time with the team. He has driven the play and been involved offensively, as well as hit some guys.
I did notice a couple times as he heads up ice ahead of play he turns and pivots to skate backward through the neutral zone.  Like he's looking back to see if someone is going to pass him the puck.  I don't know if that's what he did often at BC or if he just doesn't know his new linemates and their tendencies yet so he's looking to see what's happening.
Anyway...I expect this is gonna get him killed if he keeps it up...turning his back and skating across the blue line eventually the D is gonna notice and step up big and clobber him at the line as he's catching a pass.
Saw him do it 2 or 3 times and I just don't recall seeing other offensive players do that.

Hopefully that explains his recent struggle in net. And whatever is ailing him heals quickly!  :cross:

Hunter Shepherd was called up from Hershey to cover for Thompson. I wonder if Thompson hasn’t had a minor issue for a few games now. It would explain how bad he’s looked his past couple starts. Getting run over in his crease by Hall in the 1st may have helped solidify the injury.


The call up was likely yesterday, but when the players have a day off it seems the entire organization takes a day off.

yea, I saw that. We all know the outcome would be if 43 from Washington had done this.

Only thing I've seen today was this piece of bull :poop:

That takedown of McMike was complete bull :poop:  Saw that he didn't get any discipline from the NHL, hopefully the on ice code is enforced next week!


Not sure what's up with the team. Thompson looks like shit for sure. But they get scored on, you'd expect a push back? But, 30 seconds go by and they're back in our own end trying to get scored on again. Rinse repeat. After the 1st period you'd expect some kind of push? Nope. It really will be an early exit if they don't get back some structure and urgency before the playoffs start.

The Caps must be off today, I haven’t seen anything yet about Thompson’s injury

Can't believe the bullshit Chatfield MMA takedown of McM.   Could have seriously done some damaged if his head had hit the ice.  I'm assuming #22 makes him answer for it and #43 and #52 are playing in case any other Cane has an issue with that.

I like the looks of Leonard.  He's going to be a good player.  The team just looks listless like they just want the playoffs to arrive.  That's a recipe for a quick dismissal at the hands of the last qualifier.  That would be embarrassing but could happen the way they look, especially Thompson.
