Dumpster Fire v Dumpster Fire

 

[malyk]

Nucks team bus broke down according to the team twitter feed. Everyone hailing cabs to get back to the hotel.

Also, Kesler out "a few weeks" with a knee injury.

Must win game for both teams.

 

[Blades of Steel]

Also a must lose game for both teams

 

[fedfed]

It's like... nobody even cares.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I expect a big win tonight...if they lose...let the axe fall...

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

really glad we burned a year of Kuzyas 900k contract to waste him on the grinder line.

vegas says caps should win -146 gambling is the only way to make this stinker watchable

 

[Acallabeth]

The season is lost already, move Kuznetsov to the 1st line and Wilson to the 2nd...

 

[FloridaCap]

lol, Kuznetsov on the 4th line still. Comical. He outplayed EVERY skill forward on our team last game, Ovechkin and Backstrom included. And we're playing an equal train wreck of a team -- perfect to increase his minutes, but nope. Because Oates.

I almost hope we're eliminated from playoff contention ASAP so we can see Kuznetsov and Wilson with more ice time, but I don't even think that will happen. Because.... well, you know by now.

**** Oates.

Hmm, sounds a lot like Wilson, too.

Nothing quite like burning valuable cheap years of contracts to play them on the 4th line. Brilliant asset management.

 

[hb12xchamps]

Really don't care about watching this team anymore. A win against a Vancouver team that is struggling worse than the Caps wouldn't really do much for me. I kinda think the Caps are expected to win especially with Kesler out now.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

Torn. I want to see Kuznetsov play well, but I also want the Capitals to get destroyed in hopes that there is a shake up. Which might be the key to Kuz progressing anyways.

Always liked GMGM, but its over. Bring in a new Gm with the ability to hire his own coaching staff.

I thought it was burned no matter what....


A few games to get his feet wet isn't killing him...

12 - Number of wins the Capitals have since their improbable December 15 win over the Flyers, the second-fewest wins in the League over that span (more on that in a moment). That win pushed the Caps' record to 18-12-3, the high-water mark for the season in terms of points percentage (a 96.9-point pace). And the one team with fewer wins since that mid-December date? Tonight's opponent, the Vancouver Canucks, who have won just ten games in that stretch....

Just ****ing lose.

 

[SimplySensational]

He's miles ahead of Wilson, he's 21 going on 22, and coming off $5M per year contract with a 13% flat tax.

Lets piss him off by trying to keep him on a cheaper ELC for longer. Can't argue with that kind of logic.

And the team travel accommodations are to die for!

Just ****ing lose.

Seems to the motto of both teams fans.

And do it in regulation!

 

[Halpysback*]

And the team travel accommodations are to die for!

Which explains why he's dead... that or sitting on a pile of money he wouldn't have otherwise and only having to deal with being bound to this dysfunctional organization with a 1.25 year ELC.

As much as people hate the idea dude played the game of life as well as he could have given the circumstances.

You missed the point. We don't want him not to play so he doesn't burn a year
We want him to play more to make the burning of a year actually worth it.

Cue Torts speech: "As bad as we are, as bad as we have been, no fuggin way we lose to these guys. This team we're playing, the Caps, they turn guys like Aron Asham and Brian Boyle into offensive superstars. You just have to breathe hard on them and they'll run away and hide. Pummel Green, shadow Ovie until he gets frustrated, and run their goalie with impunity. And no one, no one, should lose a board battle or a puck battle tonight. This team ...this team, they make Charmin look like sandpaper and barb wire."

 

[g00n]

We win tonight. Not sure of the score, but it's a "W". Book it.

 

[ChibiPooky]

Go Caps.

 

[strungout]

4-3!
