Could be coincidental, but Nicky has played well when Mojo is his LWer, and poorly when it's Ovechkin. I think the reason Nicky shoots more with Mojo and Oshie or Williams at his wing than Ovi or Bura is because there isn't a natural sniper there - no dominant player he instinctively tries to make a pass to. But Mojo and Oshie both have great shots if Nick wants to pass. It encourages him to be more than a playmaker. Let's hope Kuzy and Ovi start working better together...

Kuzy is a black hole right now.

Ovi isn't in much better form.

So they are gonna start calling Bobrovsky for interference now too right? Every time the Capitals try to forecheck the ****er leaves the crease and grabs Caps players.

Paul Carey is impressive. His speed is sick.

He was impressive last year too in the few games he played for the Caps. Probably would have come back up for a couple had he not suffered a season ending injury. Not a bad idea for a regular fourth liner down the line if none of our prospects work out.

What a stupid, lazy penalty by Connelly. Instead of moving his butt to the puck, passing it back to the D he obstructs.

And as for the team it's clear to me that the Pens game was a fluke. Was an issue of them being in a groove that day but the same issues have continued since then.

Who cares, Brouwer got called on similar plays all the time, except in that case Saad intentionally stopped behind him and threw the shoulder.
