He probably wants nothing to do with this sh*t show. In reality I think he signs.Do we still have a chance to sign Frank?

why not? the more compelling question is how long until this board hates him and his deal?Do we still have a chance to sign Frank?

Roflmao. It's not just this board, it goes way back to ESPN etc, but yeah we need to be more patient with youngsters and potential future Caps.why not? the more compelling question is how long until this board hates him and his deal?
Indeed. A loooong history.Roflmao. It's not just this board, it goes way back to ESPN etc, but yeah we need to be more patient with youngsters and potential future Caps.
Pretty dismal. Their pre-game huddle must have gone something like this: “we’re having a lot of trouble scoring goals”. “Right so let’s be sure to pass up as many shot opportunities as possible so that we will score that 1 pretty goal that makes up for all the ones we’ve failed to score in 2023”
I don't want to play the GMGM were you even in the game card...but one of the most fundamental things you learn as a dman is to use your partner and to use the wall, never out front of your own net unless you're skating it and possessing it and there's no pressure coming if you do so. You don't flip a pass to a forward surrounded by multiple opposing players in the most dangerous part of the ice in front of your goalie. That was a McIlrath level decision. I get it Kuzy is playing poorly right now but call it what it is...whole team needs to be better not just him.Oh wtf ever….that’s a routine play in the NHL if your head isn’t up your ass.
Easiest money you'll ever make... one of the hottest teams vs. one of the coldest teams. Dylan Larkin tried to gift the game for us but even without him it was a rather easy win for the Wings.Well…..I bet the Wings.….knowing damn well this was likely…..I feel dirty, but well paid.
Every Caps forward except Ovi has gone 600 straight decades without a goal and only have 1 goal in the last 15 eons.
I’m all for being patient with youngsters, ie not kicking them to the curb. Some may turn out to be serviceable NHL players. But it’s painfully obvious Maclellan and his staff have done a very poor job procuring high level talent through the draft in these 9 years of drafting. The difference between McPhee and Maclellan in similar draft positions is striking. Yes McPhee struck out on occasion and yes the Forsberg trade was unforgivable (btw Maclellan has admitted he had a willing role in that), but he also has picks like Carlson, Holtby, MJ, Orlov, Eakin, Kuzy, Grubeaur, Boyd, Djoos, Bura, and Stephenson. Not including Wilson because he was a 16. Sure the jury is still out on some of Maclellan’s picks but so far they are looking meh.Roflmao.

Wasn't that Jensen who made the pass from behind the net to Kuznetsov. I know Locker between periods focused on Kuzy fumbling the puck, but after the score it seemed Kuemper immediately turned towards Jensen and said something to him, most likely WTF. Maybe it was Jensen's "don't trade me move", because such a move doesn't help his value.I don't want to play the GMGM were you even in the game card...but one of the most fundamental things you learn as a dman is to use your partner and to use the wall, never out front of your own net unless you're skating it and possessing it and there's no pressure coming if you do so.

He said “dude…..he couldn’t have been more wide open, not your fault.”……..Wasn't that Jensen who made the pass from behind the net to Kuznetsov.

This goal was like a microcosm of the terrible stretches of play this year. It doesn’t feel like opposing teams “earn” most of their goals against us. Either we turn it over in prime scoring spots, or ridiculous seeing eye shots hit 3 guys and go in.He said “dude…..he couldn’t have been more wide open, not your fault.”……..
ouch.Mantha has gone 15 straight games without a goal and only has 1 goal in his last 23 games.
He needs to score at almost a goal a game pace for the rest of the season while playing for a bad team.Guys, forgive the dumb question but I've been outta the loop for a while.
If Ovie gets back tonight, does he still have a shot at a 50 goal season?
He said “dude…..he couldn’t have been more wide open, not your fault.”……..
welp...these are the best players in the world
Eh, this is the NHL, passing to an open guy in front of the net happens all the time.View attachment 654909
Option A, keep to your strong side since Jensen is a righty and go up the wall hard to the teammate just out of frame. Option B, pivot the hips slightly and reverse to Marty Party off the boards to avoid the fly-by forechecker and brace for a possible hit if he doesn't fly. Option C pivot the hips and go hard around to Milano. The big red blob is where basically every coach I ever had would bag skate me to death if I passed the puck to. Jensen has several options here and he took the least desirable. On film breakdown day I'm hoping he gets a similar visual.
