What does it mean that Oshie and Wilson were part of the optional skate today?
None of this sounds very good.
Is Craig Anderson going to have to factor into this? Looks like VV is banged up too.
Still can't believe the latest Kempny injury.I don’t think VV is banged up, I think it was just an unfortunately-phrased tweet by Tom Gulitti that juxtaposed Kempny’s status with Vitek, as both left early. It was an optional that most guys expected to dress weren’t at, so I imagine Vitek was just limiting his workload.
Given their history, I get pessimistic when the Caps go up 3-1.I usually wait until down 3-1 before I get pessimistic lol….

All I can say is despite the criticism and outlook on VV by some posters, I support him until he shows me otherwise he's an AHL starter or NHL backup. He's played way beyond my expectations and shown a good attitude. What a wonderful story for the NHL to cover about a rookie goalie despite not being the chosen one like Sammie. Whatever VV does, please don't try to be Holtby or Brodeur with playing the puck. Just make the saves and not be fancy with clearing. This is his time to shine!
He started 13 games in a row thru February. The team was toast if he couldnt handle the pressure. He proved he could handle the load.
So it seems like Kuzy did get COVID again and Sammy was the close contact. I am pissed at Kuzy but maybe he got it from a family member or some other way that isn't a violation. The only issue with that is I believe Kuzy missed a game before he showed up on the COVID list. Regardless of how he got it, he got it and it seems like the Caps will be without him for at the very least, round 1.
He missed the team event and subsequently got put on the covid list. Hell the f*** yeah, let's blame that idiot for what kind of an idiot he is.Let's blame Kuzya because he got a disease that more than 160 million people had.

For me, it's not about Kuzy getting Covid a second time that makes me want to ship him out; the issue I have is that this is another data point that he's not reliable. Covid twice, getting suspended for missing the team function, getting suspended for the cocaine mess, mailing it in during the bubble last year... this is a guy who can be a top player in the league and is paid to be this team's top line center and has put his teammates in a bad spot a handful of times at this point. At what point do you say enough is enough? They can't risk having ~9.5% of the cap continually dropping the ball.I have my suspicions that he got it doing something stupid, but until the facts come out I'm not willing to ship him out of here like everyone else is.
