There's no lesson. Covid f***ed up the cap. So GMBM had a choice: spend what it took to get guys so they could compete this year, or save cap space and ice a lesser roster. He made the right choice in an impossible situation.

At least he has a playoff series against the Rangers win. That was ugly 2nd round against TB that year, however it was nice to quiet the Boudreau haters in NY lol.
Yes he was heading towards the boards behind the goalie and back passed it to Sprong.
Mantha has great hands and a great shot and we'd see it more but he's not a physical player.
We will see if he's worth the picks in the postseason.

I respect your opinion. I felt that way last year and really didn't even feel anything when they lost to the Isles. This year though, despite it being a shortened COVID season I'm different. Getting rid of Reirden and GMBM addressing the limitations changed my outlook and now with the NYR debacle and Oshie's personal loss only has me more energized for a 2021 SC run. Right now I want to see Oshie lift the SC again.

That's was 2 whole periods ago. What has he done lately?

BMAC has done fine.
COVID/Taxi rules allow players to play 10 games without having to clear waivers back to the Taxi squad. So send Carr back and let Scarabosa or Pilon get a game tomorrow.

None from me. I don't expect him to be a physical presence like Tom Wilson. He's doing what I want him to do and be a scorer with big body to screen.
I liked his game with the time he had. I would like to see him back in as well.

Sometime I think the fact that we have been so fortunate as to have the likes of Ovie, Backstrom, Oshie, Chara, and 2018Kuzy makes people forget what really good hockey payers are like. Those guys are elite, each in their own way, and we have 5 of them. Most really good hockey players, Mantha for instance, aren't close to as good as those guys. That doesn't make them shit. It doesn't make them average. But it does give Caps fans totally unreasonable expectations.
Remember when a washed up Housley was the best we could attract to D.C.
? I'm glad times have changed.

I know the solution to our goaltending issue. Play both, but every time when one of them has a really good game, next game play other one. It seems after a really good stretch (often short), they play less stelar.

We're Touched
Prone to slumps, often looks like he's floating out there, doesn't bring much in the defensive zone, lack of compete level, doesn't do much when he's not scoring.
Basically, he's the same as the player we gave up for him

Poor effort but with Elliott in his normal mode and not a vezina type goalie he was tonight, Caps take at least a point.

I think most of us were guilty of piling onto the Mantha train before it had left the station, and he has cooled off from his great start with the team.
But I really want to see what happens in the playoffs before deciding he's a bum

I don’t think he has. He has 2 points in his last 8 games and no goals. He goes entire stretches where he is totally invisible. I don’t see how that is worth Vrana, a first and a second. Vrana has been very good in Detroit too.
