What happened? Dirty hit on Kuznetsov?

Dumba caught Kuz with a blindside hit, mostly shoulder but still dirty I’d say. Oshie gets the penalty and a misconduct for instigating. No call on Dumba for his hit

 

[Misery74]

I guess it’s time for McMichael to get a few games if Kuzy is out.

That won’t happen. Protas will move to center and Mantha will draw back in.

Our coach can only see 6 inches in front of his face.

 

[pman25]

But he did hit the head

I can’t tell, but I believe it. Someone will have to post a clip

 

[Holtbyisms]

The amount of times I think Kuz has a f***ed up shoulder after a hit and he just comes back, Ive lost count. That one looked pretty painful. Blindside hits are legal if you don’t hit the head I guess

Looked like his hand was trembling too. He had shoulder problems in Russia before he came over. Seems like an ongoing issue for him.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

I guess it’s time for McMichael to get a few games if Kuzy is out.

I almost want him to finish the season in Hershey. I really like the line he’s on now and think they’re all gonna be capitals next season.

 

[Neil Racki]

Tom wants no part of reaves .. and for good reason

 

[BallardEra]

That was a lucky save by Fleury on that deft deflection by Ovie.

 

[Raikkonen]

Locker said Carlson could play next week, right?

 

[mad4comp]

Matt Irwin proves time and time again he doesn't belong in the NHL.. still retains starting spot. Shameful coaching really.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Locker said Carlson could play next week, right?

I have no idea why he would try to play again this season take the summer off Johnny

 

[mad4comp]

Locker said Carlson could play next week, right?

Why even attempt to let him play? Backstrom and Oshie already destroyed the team. Might as well let them finish the job.

 

[RedRocking]

This team can’t do anything at 5v5. Sad.

 

[pman25]

Long time to play hockey again. He pretty much said there’s nothing left to heal and wants to get back to it. Give him 10 games to make sure he feels alright going into the offseason

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

Hard to believe a guy on the NHL Fantasy on Ice podcast predicted before the season that Kuzy might lead the league in assists.

I mean the blueline is decimated by injuries and trades. Any warm body at this point. Sandin is -12 in his last 4 games btw

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

The real tank test comes Tuesday at home against Columbus.

 

[Langway]

See...you can (unintentionally) tank and still chase 895.

 

[bacchist]

[Corby78]

2 for Ovie, I’m happy

 

[Capsman]

Tom wants no part of reaves .. and for good reason

No need for him to engage Reaves. Just spend the rest of the game targeting Dumba. Don’t worry game outcome, it’s over. Make it a priority to catch Dumba with a legal hit that will end his season.

 

[RedRocking]

Oh plz get #40 on MAF.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

2 for Ovie, I’m happy

40 in sight.

 

[troyerlaw]

Lindgren bruh. Make a save. I know it was a breakaway but step up and make a clutch save

 

[Brian23]

Lindgren mad at his defense there, kinda surprised. Man has been awful since January.

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Strome seems to have loaded up on stupid pills since signing his big contract. Tried to do way too much with the puck inside the line while Wild players were closing in.
