Our whole TEAM looks bad 5on5 except for a select few players. The more I see the more I believe its the "system". Last night we played Hunterhockey. Trap and collapse.

Happy now?
Kuznetsov now listed at 6'0", 172 on the Caps website. I knew I wasn't crazy for thinking he looked smaller than expected.

So the team's own press release overestimated his size by 3 inches and 28 pounds. How the hell does something like that happen?

Listen... do you smell something?
Your right about the whole team, but that just means that OV is one of the worst 5on5 players on a bad 5on5 team. Thats even worse

Based on this image, I'd say he's right about Ovie's height. Ovie's listed at 6'2", but is probably an inch shorter than that in reality.
Maybe the KHL measurements (6'1", 186) are accurate?

I always thought Ovi was a solid 6'2. Maybe not a full 6'3, but close enough. Don't think he's 6'1.
That happened because Tarasenko caught a blindside elbow and was concussed.He was ripping it before that and then this year playing 3rd line minutes.

Mojo isn't really short. He seems smaller than he is because of his play style. He's very comparable to Backstrom in height, and a little lighter (5-10 lbs?), imo.
Those are his measurements from draft year. He has grown up a little since then.

And let all the former whining in this series of threads be put to rest. Kuznetsov has finally scored his first in the NHL.

Definitely looks like a player. This is one prospect where I might agree with McPhee calling him a center. The position might really fit his game.
A nice summer to get healthy and a full TC to get more acclimated and I think we'll see him raise his game.

I agree- I see him becoming a Giroux type of player if he works hard for it... He definitely has a lot of potential...
Just needs to improve his shot and not be too cute on plays.

why is he at winger exactly? he was a center in the KHL and just look at his play, hes a natural playmaker. with backstrom out could we be seeing him centering ovie's line? get some of that rooskie chemistry flowin

I thought he played wing in the KHL? He seems to move and play like a center to my eyes, but I haven't see him take the draws and what not yet. Maybe they're just easing him into the NA game on the wing and will have him practice at the C next year.
Just hope he's not the reason we don't resign Grabo.

Yay hockey!
This kid is a LOT better than I was expecting. Like a lot a lot. I know it's just a couple games, but it's hard not to be excited.

Congrats kid....wanted you to get that 1st one out of the way. Haven't been overly impressed with the shot so far. Hope this helps the confidence and he starts letting em go on net.
