[TRASHCAT]

Strome is the javelin to our tank

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

They should get rid of the lines and call the game based on vibes

Let’s scrap the other rules too….just wing it out there!

Woman to our men

 

[TRASHCAT]

kuz is of course the tank commander

 

[Hivemind]

Locker's drunk. That was Fever who failed at that keep in.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

brutal Fever…..wtf….

 

[Block]

He corrected himself.

 

[Coldplay619]

Incredible miscommunication with Fever and Kuzy....jesus.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Magic McMike looks sooooo much better this year…..

 

[Neil Racki]

Dang that’s just some more bad puck luck f*** me sideways

 

[Block]

Looking at the replay, that pass never got to Fever. Got put in a tough spot.

 

[Coldplay619]

I know Bmac said he wanted to get another top-six guy but maaaan, we need a top-four defenseman.

 

[HTFN]

Magic McMike looks sooooo much better this year…..

Yeah that's called being able to play in the third period and getting coached. Caps nearly ruined this guy

 

[Empty Goal Net]

Magic McMike looks sooooo much better this year…..

chicken or egg ... looks better 'cause he's gotten better, or is playing better 'cause he's trusted and getting more minutes than under He Who Could Do No Wrong?
(seriously, I believe the Calder run helped him mature, although he was readier than he was given the opportunity to show last season)

 

[Devil Dancer]

Haha I love it when Willy (or Ovie) scare players into turnovers just through the threat of a hit.

It was both, when you had multiple guys noting that his confidence was really low and he needed to build up I think there's a very evident reason for that, based on his use while up here last year.

Once he got the confidence back he just kept pushing, which is great, but that's the biggest standout change for him so far.

I’d say last year was invaluable for his development. He’s right on plan IMO.

 

[HTFN]

I wonder if Wilson just put them 4 on 4, I missed the exact moment the whistle blew but I thought the first one was on Minnesota

I'd say there's a different route equally invaluable that didn't involve a player having to regain their confidence in the AHL while the guys they played kept playing at the rate they played. It could have been handled at the NHL level with exposure and quality personnel management.

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

Strome didn’t have much choice but to run into Fleury there.

 

[shtorm2005]

I hate when they go commercial when it's still hot on ice.

 

[HTFN]

Strome didn’t have much choice but to run into Fleury there.

Strome 100% shouldn't have been called for that as anything more than incidental if something was scored, looked like he was carried in there by forklift

 

[g00n]

Ah there we go, the Tom Wilson rule in effect

 

[tycoonheart]

Strome was pushed into MAF.

 

[Devil Dancer]

A bit lucky on the PK with Kuemper coughing up rebounds.

When a player shows up and underperforms, you do what you have to, to get him back on track. There‘s not just one path agreed, and it appears his was invaluable getting prime minutes, barely 21, winning a professional championship.

I’m just happy he looks so much better….his explosiveness is so greatly improved.
