Isn’t BB a coach? Why would you think he beats any responsibility?
Burakovsky and Vrana played like meatheads. Kuzy is definitely a game changer but doesn't always play smart either. I do like Orlov but he did get beat on 2 of the goals tonight including the game winner.Ovi was garbage today. Coach needs to focus on the fastest players on the team
-Vrana
-Kuznetsov
- Burakovsky
- Orlov
And have those 4 guys as the game breakers.
Did you watch the game? Wilson was trash. Poor decisions, fumbling the puck, ineffective forechecking, horrible penalty that cost us a goal, and struggled to get the puck out of the zone when he had chances. And calling OV a question mark is way too generous.Really cant blame all top-6 much. Oshie definitely showed up, was engaged almost every shift. Backstrom as alwaysuseful and also two assists. Burakovky despite dumb penalty was one of our best forwards all night. Kuzy with two goals. Wilson with a great PK. The only question mark is Ovechkin. Looked heavy and puckhandling was brutal. Brooks Orpik-level brutal.
If you are talking about the time when Orlov and Carlson were passing back and forth instead of shooting it was because there was no lane to get the puck through.Pet peev is guys in front battling and point guys play patty cake
But skill kills. DSP scored off a great pass but the stars are the game changers in the modern game.
Orlov's defence is shaky. He needs to be used as a 4th forward. He's one of Caps fastest playersBurakovsky and Vrana played like meatheads. Kuzy is definitely a game changer but doesn't always play smart either. I do like Orlov but he did get beat on 2 of the goals tonight including the game winner.
LOL, your angle to defend Trotz. Burakovsky was phenomenal except for his penalty. And Vrana was dangerous in his 7 minutes.Burakovsky and Vrana played like meatheads.

Me too, zero cares given.
I enjoyed this year, the team was fun to watch. My biggest/only disappointment will be the kids not getting games/ice time in these playoffs. I want Gersich in, Djoos, Barber even, eh, it is what it is.
But once Trotz isn't re-signed that should change next season, although if it is Reirdon who knows.
And Boyd. If it is Reirdon more of he same.Me too, zero cares given.

Insert Gersich and Boyd..that would help..can't be any worse than the garbage we saw tonight.Burakovsky and Vrana played like meatheads. Kuzy is definitely a game changer but doesn't always play smart either. I do like Orlov but he did get beat on 2 of the goals tonight including the game winner.
that's just an invitation to be scored on. i want them to be swept. tired pf trotz and his hockey, it's not suited for this team. for those saying it's a core, i agree, but no one wants our chokers. at least, we will watch an exciting brand of hockey5 shots in goal combined in 3rd and OT. They just aren't taught, or don't know how to play winning hockey.
I misread your post..Vrana and Bura had multiple scoring chances and played with speed..I guess you think they were garbage because they outplayed our veterans?..good gawd give me a break.Insert Gersich and Boyd..that would help..can't be any worse than the garbage we saw tonight.
Bottom line Ovechkin's line has to be better next game if they are only getting Jones/Werenski for 7 minutes per game:
Yes, and there were 3 guys unnecessarily hanging around the goal the whole time, nobody moving to the high slot for a pass or anything like that. Static as hell, makes life easy for the opponent and why we need individual wizardry to have any success.If you are talking about the time when Orlov and Carlson were passing back and forth instead of shooting it was because there was no lane to get the puck through.
I agree someone needed to move to nthe slot or the half wall. There was really nothing the dmen could do there. There was absolutely no shooting lane. All they would have done is shoot at someone's shinpads and it would have ended up an oddman rush the other way.Yes, and there were 3 guys unnecessarily hanging around the goal the whole time, nobody moving to the high slot for a pass or anything like that.

Kuzy had some negatives too. I thought our best player tonight was Carlson.Positives:
-Kuzy
Negatives:
-OV
Everything else is somewhere in between.
Vrana and Burakovsky made some very poor decisions in this game. They didn't outplay anyone. If all our forwards played like them we would give up 10 goals a game.I misread your post..Vrana and Bura had multiple scoring chances and played with speed..I guess you think they were garbage because they outplayed our veterans?..good gawd give me a break.
