No disagreement there, but I like to see someone seriously argue against me that had Chucky been in net, this would have been maybe a 1 goal loss or maybe we at least steal a point and force it into OT. I wasn't expecting the Caps to shutout the Rags again if Chucky was in net, but he has an advantage over Kuemper with his reads and quickness, which are something a goalie needs to beat the Rags!While I agree, this team still needs to find a way to score goals. Badly.
As I stated before, if the Caps start generating more capable offensive production from their back end, then it has to open up some space for the forwards to score more. Opponents still don't respect the idea of the Caps D being scoring threats so they basically collapse/cheat closer to their goalie to suffocate the Caps forwards trying to generate scoring threats below the dots.
Another thing, Kuzy is paid almost $8 million per year to have top end scoring production, yet he's showing almost nothing except in the measly shootout! BMac, ship his @SS out of here! If he aint gonna produce, then he can do his on/off switch routine somewhere else! Look, it might be a contract year for Mantha but at least he's stepping up and putting up points! Mantha looks like he might be finding his niche in Carbery's system and he's smiling having fun doing it. Kuzy is just becoming a total @SS and really getting annoying wasting a roster spot doing nothing, while we have younger players trying to bust their butt for the new coach and stay in the lineup!
Amazes me how the Devils team keeps bailing out Vanecek's suspect goaltending, which we all knew from his time here.I was gonna say, ‘At least Devils and islanders both lost in regulation.’ But the Devils tied it late. And then won in OT
