At least Schmidt will play.
Blues fan coming in peace. Sorry about Shatty misbehaving. Its out of character, but I think he's struggling to figure out his role on your talented team. I hope he starts contributing.

Thanks. There's a lot to learn and he's trying too hard. I suspect it will settle down Just hope it's sooner than later.
Let's get a true losing streak. 8 game losing streak and Caps can secure the 1WC spot the Rangers hold, and punch their ticket to Round 3.
what seems clear to me is that the Caps game is complicated. It took the team months to get it right and its easy to lose it in a week off. As we are seeing now.
Expecting Shattenkirk to learn it is a real roll of the dice.
I didn't see a lot of the game last night but it looked like Carlson picked his game up on the PP both with his shot and with his wheel house pass to Ov. That's a positive
Following up on a topic from the game thread, I wonder if Schmidt keeps seemingly playing well with Orpik if they'd actually sit Shattenkirk? Personally I'd like to see a game or two with Schmidt and Shatt, but (as was said in the thread) they seem locked into Orpik and Alzner playing over Schmidt no matter how well he preforms.
I'm still cautiously optimistic that this could be one of the best things to happen to the Caps. Its much better for them to hit this wall now then to hit it in the middle of a series.
Taking Alzner's iron man streak out from under him would **** him and the team off. Sit Orpik, he hasn't been contributing much
I'd love to give Justin Williams some sodium pentothal to see what he thinks of this dumpster fire. He's seen the league from many angles, and has seen what it takes to win a cup with different teams. And he looks to give his all on every shift (even if it leads to some stupid penalties). I'm guessing his head is exploding.
1st NHL suspension. Just days after the trade. More bad luck for Caps?
Every experienced fan is lowering expectations right now.
