Lou Fransciscetti?
Hilarious you said that, because I thought of him. We can just say players that did not need to hit, to have a job.

You made it sound like we didn't need Backstrom or Kuzy.What does that have to do with anything? The point we are talking about is playing without Backstrom and Kuznetsov. They did a good bit in the cup run and Eller was outstanding
I don't think Kuzy tested positive before. Earlier in the year it was Samsonov that tested positive.So since Kuzy is the one still on the list, he's the one who tested positive. Must have caught it a second time.
Not sure how you can say VV looked collected. He only faced 4 shots and one got by him. I'm not sure what VV was doing on that play. It seemed like he wasn't ready or expecting the shot.I forgot how intense and fun Caps playoff hockey can be. Gripped the entire time. The entire team - on the ice, at least - was dialled in. VV looked collected until his unfortunate injury. Anderson looked good coming in cold. Dillon and Orlov played one of their best games all season. Willy and Oshie were working, Raffl and Ovi looked like bulls ready to knock down anything in their path...
Love it. Keep it going, guys.
I really like Mantha, and was very happy with the acquisition (even though it came at a major cost). So far, my only real issue is that, as was mentioned earlier, he does occasionally end up getting the same space as one of his line mates--as if he's used to being the guy in that position in that situation, where now he needs to get to a different spot in that situation.

Unfortunate about the injury.
A lot of complaints about the NBC broadcast but not showing Orlov’s high stick on Pasta until the 4th time they tried to do so tops the listHe definitely did.
I didn't see it until intermission though, the broadcasters were more interested in replaying the scoring chance.
This is delightful.Just looked at the box cars and found something interesting... not a single Caps player finished with a minus in +/- for the game. The Bruins had 10 guys who were minus for the game. Pretty big disparity for a 3-2 game. The vaunted Hall-Krecji-Smith line finished at -2, worst among all skaters.
