I’m starting to miss when Semin would just shut up and play.
I think that was supposed to be amusing, but he’s just annoying at this point for this Caps fan.
Semin seemed like he avoided talking to people, Kuzy is the opposite.
Thus my comment about missing the Silent One.
Kuzy is endearing when he’s not loafing....otherwise not so much.
Vrana a healthy scratch in an elimination game.
Lmao this is actually insane. They scratched Vrana for being a “dick”
I peeked in the Czech roster talk thread on the main board and a couple of posters mentioned they thought it was the coach and national team trying to push some of the Czech league players over the NHL guys. I didn’t think that made a ton of sense considering a majority of their lineup has NHL players.All our beat guys are coming back in that they can't believe that at all. I generally think this is some big shot in the Czech team trying to put over their team vs. the NHL. I can't think of anything that'd give the implication Vrana's like that at all during his time in Washington.
“The biggest difference between fans of the Russian National Team (not everyone) and NHL fans is that Russian fans absolutely have to dump on everyone if the team loses, whereas NHL fans support their team and favorite players no matter what the results,” Nastya wrote in the caption as translated by Graham Dumas. “We need to be proud of our countrymen, who are idolized by millions of people around the world and serve as examples for young people! We need to know how to take a loss with dignity and value the work of other people. I wish everyone well, and good luck to the guys tomorrow!”
