Blaming Kuzy already for a game that hasn't even been played yet?
He's actually one of my favorites. I'm not blaming him for anything. Last pens game he made comments post game about how it's unfair they played the pens early and not at 7. It's a losers excuse.

During the last goal seeing Seigenthaler do 360's, get in the way of Sammy and screen him at the same time was priceless. How the heck is that dude in the NHL? Guy is GARBAGE.

That's a joke. Don't overreact. Maybe Reirden gets fired tonight and Kuzy will have a good game as a response.

I love HF Boards, you guys are so dramatic. We were in 2nd place in the league barely 2 weeks ago. Calm down.

"At least Ovi scored"
That what I was thinking in the first years of Ovechkin when Caps were losing games.
Well, if they have a problem to get motivated tomorrow, maybe than they'll need a change

They saw how they needed to play in the 2nd half of last week’s game against the Avs (their last win, I believe), the key to which was upping their pressure, physicality, and battle quotient. And so, having seen what they need to do to succeed, they’ve spent the next 4 games since then not doing any of that. It’s as if getting a glimpse of what they need to do was enough for them - as opposed to actually continuing to do it

Kempny was benched for a long time after the Devils 1st goal in the first period. Then he takes an ill advised penalty late in the game to put the Caps 2 men down. Say what you want about Jensen, but Kempny looked like he was trying to get back at Reirden for benching him or trying to get Reirden fired. Kempny now makes a case to be traded instead of Jensen.
I know Ted is cheap paying coaches, but how much more tolerance does GM BMac/Ted/Dick Patrick have if the team keeps losing and possibly taking themselves out of a playoff spot? I'm seriously ready for hiring Laviolette, who has a good deal of experience coaching in the Metro with the Canes(South East division at the time) and the Flyers. Laviolette has won a Cup and coached two other teams to the Stanley Cup Final. He's a hard @SS but a good coach for what this team needs. Gallant I don't want because he seems to have some fallout with management twice now(Panthers and Knights). Because BMac still looks up to McPhee to some degree, I think he would side with or talk to McPhee about what happened with Gallant and not hire him.

What does his hamstring have to do with his head. Just dumb how he played it at the end to put the team 2 men down!

It's too late to fire the coach lol. We stick with what we have, while trying to improve the roster if we can. Only not please another Erat for Forsberg
Tough loss. I'm probably in the minority but I thought they played fine. Good start, power play was good. Blackwood was exceptional, it happens.
We definitely need a lot more from Carlson. It has been a really rough month+ for him. He was terrific on the 5-on-3 PK at the end so maybe that will give him a little spark. The circumstances of the 5-on-3 were really unfortunate. Guys worked really hard, killed off the first penalty, Backstrom's stick is broken and coming out of the box to give them a hand is.... Kuznetsov.

Kempny was benched for 2 shifts. He played 17mins. That was top 4 mins for the game. Dillon barely played.

Here's hoping that whoever they bring in doesn't have his arm broken by Ovechkin right away.
At this point they aren't making the playoffs. What about their play leads anyone to believe things will turn around? TR says the same stuff post practice and post game and yet they still don't do it.

Kempny and Siegs are the problem now. If Siegs is in the lineup tomorrow over Gudas, then Reirden should be fired before the game starts! Why was Kempny on the PK? Was it because Gudas was not in the lineup?

It's a loser excuse when saying something like, "oh we were in 2nd place 2 weeks ago, so lets calm down".

That trade happened because McPhee tried to blindly save himself. BMac doesn't do desperate trades and he's not in a position where he could lose his job, especially since his team won the Cup just 2 years ago.

They started off 26-6-5. Since they're 11-12-1 and have lost four in a row and six of the last seven. They haven't won consecutive games since the first game back after the All-Star Break (twelve games ago). Continuing on a 11-12'1 "second half" pace would result in 90 points. Not going to cut it.
Fortunately for them NYI/CBJ/CAR aren't exactly on fire but home ice in the first round is certainly somewhat doubtful at the very least.

My point is it started with well relax we are in first in the league. Then progressed to first in the metro. Now it's second in the metro. We should relax while we keep slipping further and further? Ok then!

Oh come on man.... This is just dumb first off, secondly did you not see the cross checking match between Kempny and the other guy? The other guy was also holding Kempny's stick and he just lost his temper. Either way it was a dumb penalty but to say he is "getting back" at Reirden is just bush league.

Certainly not. Other teams have done it, and successfully. I just doubt Caps ownership and front office will be that aggressive. I hope to be proven wrong, but my guess is, Caps would have to miss playoffs or lose in 1st round again to trigger TR firing.
