So who do we think Kempny replaces, Djoos or Madison?

Hooks has scored more goals for the other team than he has for us

I'm almost starting to wonder if Kempny will end up replacing Orpik honestly. Kempny mentioned he shoots left, and would prefer to play on that side and believe Orpik does play on the left side.

This has that Chicago game feel, could be another loooong night.

Also, we are on auto-pilot this period. Caps want some Starbucks sent to your locker room or what here? Let's get going. Where is the physical play on this Lightning team? Get the forecheck going. UGH OF COURSE THEY SCORE ANOTHER AS I'M TYPING THIS.

Oh also since I"m here now....I'll make sure my voice is heard regarding Carlson every time he makes a mistake like that. HE CAN'T SKATE. For a skill guy you can't have no speed and a poor defensive stick/awareness. Carlson is too slow for the role we use him in, he's a PP specialist with a good first pass but the NHL speed game has passed him by.

I'm not even one of the "the speed game is dominating the future" stuff, but let's get real. If you can't play speed you better be able to knock those fast skaters on their rear end and make sure to play defense against them.

I almost wonder DC if you were right in the first place, let's just throw Carlson on a line with Kuzy and see what happens with him at forward.

Geez, wtf is with these guys lately. Trying to finish the season the way they started?

What The fuck was that?

Dump in the middle during a line change?

Real Caps are back.

Absolutely awful again. Backstrom can sit his lazy ass for a couple of games. This team is just abysmal. Holtby stinks as does the rest of this team. No winners..

I'm curious why they put Holts on the back side of this, instead of having him play last night against a weaker opponent where he might get some positive attitude back. Instead Holts will be in net for another lackadaisical slaughtering

Expect less outrage from Alan May and the rest of the crew as we go on. This team is lost and without proper motivation and leadership. Our announcing crew realizes that job security is their first priority. Expect to hear the “third game in four days” excuse.

I think the first thing to do tomorrow, is say goodbye to Trotz. He isn't mean enough. Have Riordan serve as interim and let him earn a contract, or dump all the coaches and start again with a Sutter, Keenan, or someone else with some experience that won't tolerate this optional skate club shangri-la attitude
