Well that's a shame. I really dislike the Rangers.
Yeah, me too but what can you do. This game reminds me of Game 7 against the Canes the year after winning the Cup. Holtby choked a 3-1 lead and we lost in 2 OT. Andersen was no different. Your goalie has to make saves at key times in a series and he didn't when it mattered most.Well that's a shame. I really dislike the Rangers.
Good news!
But it f***s the pens and that is always good.Why is that good news? It doesn't help the Caps!
Swayman and Bobrovsky can match Shesterkin, while Andersen is a step below all 3. I don't think the Bruins have the horses to match the Rags. I really want to see a never before team win the Cup. Only Panthers/Canucks are left at that chance.Bummed for that 3rd period collapse. Wanted the Rags to lose and the Canes to win. I'm not convinced either of the Atlantic teams will match up dramatically better in the Rags, although it's possible that either Shesterkin cools off or that Swayman continues to go God Mode and steals the series.
Pretty sure that the Venn Diagram of folks who think...Well, that should end the Orly-Kuzy fawning until next year. Not just here...on the Caps reddit sub, it's insane.
Pretty sure that the Venn Diagram of folks who think...
1. Kuzy should be loved by Caps fans forever because of 2018 no matter what he did the rest of the time. AND2. GMBM should be fired because 2018 was 10,000 years ago.
... is a circle.
If I wanted to be petty I’d point out that it’s hilarious how bad Kotkaniemi has been for Carolina while Trochek, the guy they let walk for KK, just roasted them for 8 points in 6 games.
Oh, and Kotkaniemi will make $4.82M/year for the next six seasons with a modified NTC for the last five seasons. And they gave up a first round pick for him.
But I’m not petty so I won’t point all that out. Hate to see it.
He had 27 points in 78 games this year. 28 points in 88 games if you include the playoffs. Not great for someone who just finished their sixth full NHL season and was 3OA in 2018. Nic Dowd had a better points pace this season and I think we can all agree that this was not Dowds best season.Dude is still only 23….
That aside….suck it Canes.
I'll be beyond shocked if they don't buy him out this offseason. Because he's so young it ends up being less than 900K per season, albeit for 12 years. They could really use that cap space.He had 27 points in 78 games this year. 28 points in 88 games if you include the playoffs.

You’re not wrong though, he’s still young and has time to develop but I would not want to be on the hook for close to $5M/year until 2030 to find out.
12 years lol! No way….they'll move him first.I'll be beyond shocked if they don't buy him out this offseason. Because he's so young it ends up being less than 900K per season, albeit for 12 years. They could really use that cap space.
