Settle down, Captain Hyperbole.
By playing Beagle over Kuznetsov?.
I'm sorry if I find it laughable that two players that a lot of teams would love to have are sitting in the press box while two players who could easily pass through waivers are playing.
I don't think being 1-5-1 with Beagle is a coincidence. He effectively neutralizes whatever line he is put on, and isn't even good on the PK outside of the occasional time he gets to drain the clock along the boards.
in football when its 3 and 12, you send in your passing package. for the caps for a road game in Chicago for the tight, defensive game I think they want to play, these ARE their best players.
Brooksie, do us all a favor and go bang ur hot girlfriend and leave us alone. We'll be fine without you.
make fun of beagle all you want to. purely on defensive coverage and safe offensive playing of the puck, meaning no risky turnovers, beagle is better than kuznetsov and my read is that is what trotz is going for.
I am pretty sure kuznetsov isn't getting scratched because beagle is more likely to create offense.
this is all pretty obvious.
If he's not playing here, he needs to play in Hershey. I don't know what scratching him is going to do. I feel sorry for Eric Fehr, too. I have no idea what Trotz is doing - I thought we were done with this when Adam Oates left?
Maybe the Caps are just an unsolvable puzzle.
good...the fire trotz bandwagon is initiated because trotz wants to go more defensive for a game on the road v Chicago. lol.
The fourth line had ridiculous ice time because they were playing very well and in the other team's end. In fact, Alex Prewitt has written an article about it.
