Losing faceoffs kills this team.
Hard to fix it other than trade for a different center. I would hope the players are working on getting better but maybe not.yup. Something they’ve been bad at for years and haven’t don’t anything to fix it.
Didn’t mean to suggest that. As I said before I’ve been out of the loop. Since COVID started I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to the Caps. Not sure why.
Thanks for the reply.
Well shit. Screwed up the time difference and missed this one... But it seems maybe that's for the best. Hate the Pens. Whatever. A bunch of guys in their first game back since weeks ago. Hopefully next game is better.
Panik, Jensen and VV need to watch from off the ice Tuesday.
Play Anderson, TVR and Sprong.
You need to shake things up ASAP.
Maybe they play better in front of Anderson.
I’d like to see Sprong and TVR get a sweater. Not sure about Anderson. Other guys just need to play some games together.
Pretty much. I’ve long maintained the bottom six is too redundant and BMac swung the pendulum too far towards “grit and toughness.” None of them are regular threats to score a goal. The 4th line in particular was awful yesterday and gave up both the first two goals which killed their momentum. Their third line wingers when they were a top team were both snipers and now they’re plodders. Not ideal. Barring a trade, I would roll Sheary-Eller-Sprong — I thought Sheary and Eller played well and were unlucky not to get a goal yesterday but Panik is a nothing burger.This team did nothing to address its bad bottom 6, continues to rely on a primadonna 2nd line C, and is trotting out its' 3rd string goalie for the last month.
I think it should be obvious that Anderson is not the solution. That said, I wouldn’t mind them waiving a guy like Jensen (to send him to the taxi squad for a couple of games for cap relief) in order to have Copley as Vanecek’s backup. It’s clear they’ve no intention of giving Anderson a start any time soon, and that puts huge pressure on a guy who entered the year as the number 3 with zero NHL games played. Especially if Samsonov is unlikely to provide us elite goaltending any time soon, figuring out if Copley can win us some games again is important, surely?
I think his Salary cap hit is to large to bring him up over AndersonPoor Copley....all he did was do a decent job as a backup in the NHL and got paid for the good job, only to be banished to the minors for it....I’d prefer him also right now over Anderson.
Not if they waived Jensen – they're currently carrying 13 forwards and 8D, in addition to Vanecek and Anderson. Put Anderson back on the taxi squad and waive Jensen onto it (without adding anyone in the opposite direction) and you've $2,003,456 in usable cap space. That's more than enough to fit Copley's $1.1million in.I think his Salary cap hit is to large to bring him up over Anderson

Why would you waive Jensen? Hes playing pretty well right now
