Jake Muzzin is 35 years old.
He's played 4 games in the last 2 seasons and is on LTIR.
Probably not one of their best D-men

We've been having a great March performing well above expectations, I doubt anyone here would've predicted our current position w/heavy schedule Plus Strength of Schedule
Hockey Gods are throwing us a bone with PHI losing to MTL and DET losing in reg too
Bummer we couldn't hang tonight, 1st pd wasn't bad, then bounces/mistakes added up, at least AM34 didn't score on his 23 shot attempts

Hendrix Lapierre gets today's game puck for generally not screwing up.
There will be no honorable mentions.
Pacioretty needs to sit when Wilson and Milano come back. He is of no help.

This was always probably an L, but that could have gone a little better.
10 games remaining. Two back-to-backs.
How many starts does Kuemper get?

Idk, I think his .5 PPG pace is about what should have been expected from a 35 yo Pacioretty after so many injuries.
Problem is mostly his goalscoring. He is supposed to bring goals and only sits on three goals in 37 games.
The seasons before he had 3 in 5, 19 in 39 and 24 in 48. So the years before his injury he was a .5 GPG. Wasnt expected to continue with that on Capitals after injury, but around .3 to .4 GPG was around what would be a successfull signing. He lacks in the defensive part og the game so if he isnt bringing goals he is not worth it.
If he doesnt score I have him in the group with Sgarbossa and NAK who should sit.

Goal scoring is a streaky thing though. Current seasons of Ovechkin and Wilson are two obvious examples. Patches should sit or play in a small role anyway though, as he's very unlikely to be in the club's plans for the future, and we're struggling to fit all our winger prospects on the roster. Max's already earned his games played bonus.

That's why jeff schultz will always be the best defender the caps have ever had. that +55 is untouchable.

But his career was built on scoring goals and that (for me anyway) is why he's been disappointing.
And I'm pretty sure he was signed for that reason.
3 goals on 75 shots. Shooting at 4% is D-man territory (Sandin and Fever).

I know a lot of people don't consider plus minus to be a useful stat but I think it can still provide some info - for example on a per game basis like this one against the Leafs.
TVR had a giveaway that led directly to a goal.
Fever was on the ice for 3 goals against. You could say "well sure he's on the 1st pairing and gets the hardest deployments against the Leafs top line", but....
Something very weird happened in this game, which I don't think I've ever seen before: every single Leafs player was a +1 except for Brodie and Lyubushkin +2.
That means every single Leafs line scored a goal tonight.
For Fever to be out there for 3 of those goals does suggest he might not have been at his best tonight.

Would have been nice if he didn’t waive that NTC. Maybe Frank could have cracked the lineup. Oh who am I kidding they would insert Phillips so he can play 4 minutes a game.
He SUCKS. Brings nothing to the team. Wish he would've waived his NTC. I would've been happy with a 7th for him

I dunno about disappointment. Expectations were pretty low. He's probably another good "this is how you be a pro" exemplar for the kids, especially with 19 gone. But he's definitely washed and surely won't be missed.
Pretty much this. Screw the Leafs. They've got the Caps' number this year, but I don't think they're real contenders. Just glad Philly and Detroit didn't gain any ground on us. Would've been nice to see the fish sticks lose, but I think/hope they're too far back already to be a real threat.

Thought the Capital's goalie was the best player on the ice last night.
I know he gave up 5 but it could easily have been much, much worse with another goalie.

I mean once it was apparent his leg wasn’t falling off, I kinda expected some goals is all…not a ton, but more than this crap…

Our odds of making the playoffs went up despite getting thumped lol
Yeah as our main rivals (Det+PHI) also lost and we have higher point percentage so that means they have fewer games to beat us. I expect Philly to win vs Chicago next, but then they play the Isles. If Isles are able to win their game vs Tampa aswell. Then they might get back in the race with a win over Philly and be 3 points back on Philly with 2 game sin hand.
