Meh, he's been a waste of a roster spot. Yes it's amazing he's skating at all, but from a player evaluation standpoint, lousy.
At this point Patches is a black hole in the lineup should be going to a youngling.
I would have definitely trolled Kulak as a diver if I was Oshie right after the blow.
Game over. Cannot give this team that many PP ops. Ah well.
Really need the Kraken game. I will be there, first Caps game in a long time

Tonight: Anyone. He and JC420 are on the same moronic wavelength.

as somebody who has done it, that was a dive expecting another shot.
In my defense, my "dive" was against a goalie who liked to try to push people's skates around. First time I thought it was n accident, second time I realized he hated traffic, third time I went in there looking to be an obstruction and felt my skate get shoved, so I just ate it. Easy call, don't regret it for a second.
dude here just bellyflopped on half assed crosscheck

Good screen on that last goal by Edmonton. Caps are generating some chances and just inches away from good bounces but this is kinda what happens to a slower team.
Not sure why the didn't just have Fever play with Jensen to shelter him a bit instead of being on the top pairing.

valid, unless his practice reps were indicating otherwise. trouble is, you practice against the same guys a lot, and in this first game against other guys at NHL speed he's getting blown up a little.
sucks but I have moderate faith in him as a player and anyone can have a bad game, this is a great excuse for one. It's not just adjusting to NHL speed vs practice reps but fast NHL speed tonight.

$23 million is nice. But what's so valuable you can't put a price on it? That's right: my game puck, which I am awarding tonight to Rasmus Sandin who as of this moment holds a 90% xG share tonight.
Honorable mentions go to Dylan Strome and Sonny Milano.

Woulda gone with Miro or Malenstyn myself. At least they were going full speed, trying to make something happen

I know this game isn't his fault by any means but Kuemper.....is not inspiring confidence.
It never fails with cup of coffee former Caps scoring on them.
He was sold out on a few, however before the game I had doubts. Not quite VV or Sammie level though.

What a spectacular time to start a Western road trip with the time change.
We all knew the road trip would be ugly, but give me more Ovy and Miro goals.

He's broke right now. It's up to the goalie coach to get your slumping goalie to work on basics and maybe he picks himself up again. Maybe in the offseason the Caps retain some his salary and trade him for another bad contract. I still believe Kuemper can bounce back with a different goalie coach.

I'm wondering if the Caps didn't try to shop him and expected too much in return.
