Post-Game Talk: Peanut butter lowlifes vs nutella upstanding citizens Nucks @ Caps 7:0Xpm

When I compared Kuzy's long smooth strides to Fedorov's in the playoffs last year, I got bashed and people were saying I was exaggerating. Now everyone sees how this guy skates and says the same thing I was saying a long time ago

IMO Kuznetsov does not have close to the power in his stride that Fedorov did. I don't see the power of Fedorov in Kuznetsov's skating or the flat out speed of say a Bure. How about Mogilny for a comparison?

Mogilny was fast as hell too. Way faster than Kuz IMO.

Fedorov, Bure and Mogilny were all stronger dudes than Kuzy. However, from a technical POV, Kuzy's technique resembles Fedorov's. They glide effortlessly on the ice and are very mobile laterally.
Bure was like Ovechkin, they grind through the ice as they skate.

I think this is well said. He doesn't have the raw power in his stride that you see with Chimmer for example .... just brute force and strength. It's elegant and effortless as you said. I do see the Fed comparison but more in the context you described above.

Niskanen's random, for-no-reason "get-on-the-floor, *****" move preceding the Caps second goal was....wonderful.

It's time to be the bullies.

Yeah, I like it when we're the aggressor. I hope Mojo returns to his thug Mojo state in the playoffs.

This!

I love his nasty side.

it wasn't for "no reason"

the ref let it go because of the high hit the canucks player did on burakovsky and he let that slide as well.

33-7-3

Thats just silly to look at.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

I'll go ahead and assert that there's no player in the league better on his edges than Kuzy. Too tough to compare him to players in other eras, IMO

it's phenomenal, especially for a sport like hockey where any night any given team could actually win.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

If you watch the replay you can see Kuzy take a look over his shoulder at Wilson before Burra chipped the puck back to him. That is hockey sense.

Yep I noticed that too, just a sneaky quick peek, then one of the dirtiest backhand saucers I've ever seen.

Absolutely right. That was a sticking up for a teammate move.

Don't think there's anyone close right now. Watching his footwork is mesmerizing.

Jeff Skinner maybe? Other than him I agree with you. Kuzy could give skating lessons to half the league.

has anyone else noticed how many of these games the Caps are winning 4-1? obviously 70 is a huge part of that, but it really speaks to how decisively they are winning. It's the killer instinct to really put teams away that we've all been begging for for years. Now if can translate to games in a series, we'll be in pretty damn good shape.

We were 7-1 in shots in the 3rd period at one point. They're definitely not letting up like they used to in years past.

There was a reason for that though, someone had decked Burakovsky

We're undefeated when leading after the 1st period. That speaks as much to me as our 33-7-3 record.

They mentioned on NHL tonight I believe that the record for wins in a season for a goalie is Brodeur with 48 and that Holtby was "on pace" for over 50. The team as a whole is frightening when they're all putting in the effort and Holtby is playing well.

Caps have everything needed to win the cup, tbh.

#1 stud goalie

#1 stud d-man

#1 stud center

#2 stud center who puts up #1 numbers

#1 stud winger

Secondary scoring all around with guys who turn it up in the playoffs (Williams, Richards) etc

Balanced defensive core


It's gonna be a long road but this is the year. This year and next to get it done tbh, and I think the Caps have the best shot at it.

Without a doubt the CAPS will lead the league in paranoid fans AINEC.

could be level of competition, could be skill up and down the lineup, could be both.....lol

what ive noticed happening on a consistent basis is the total SCHOOLING they put on in terms of puck control at times.

i find myself, saying to myself, its a damn clinic theyre putting on.

i cannot remember the last time this team was like that.

I do remember. There is no last time this team was like this in terms of puck possession.
