I'm excited, I think we will see a game from Ovie we haven't seen in a while, excited for kuz too, if Oates doesn't stick him with jay beagle for 5 mins a game.

 

[Hivemind]

Hurray for Russian jesus! Coming to save the Capitals!

 

[Vladiator16*]

You should've waited 55 min more.

 

[Sam Spade]

I can not believe how excited I am for these last games. I realize the Caps aren't making the playoffs and they have issues in net and on D but finally getting to see Kuz, (who I have been following since 2010) is just so friggin awesome.

If they ****can GMGM and use some of that freed up money for a decent defenseman and to resign Grabs I will be more optimistic than I have ever been as a Cap fan.

It was already Monday if you're on Chelyabinsk time?

 

[Carlzner]

Been thinking about this game all day, can't wait.

It'll come two hours early for me too which is great.

 

[Bananas]

Play him on the too line and stop being such a bunch of *******.

 

[FloridaCap]

Just hoping for 12+ minutes of ice for Kuzya, and not stuck with grinders.

Realllllly want to see him with Nick and Ovi. Having a winger that may actually be able to hit an empty net on a pass from Ovechkin sure would be nice.

Also interested to see if he gets PP time, and where. I'd assume Backstrom's spot on PP2 or Mojo's on PP1. Judging from some of the drills he did today at KCI, I'd guess Backstrom's spot on PP2. He was practicing getting to those rim-arounds that Ovechkin plays on the PP and coming off the wall shooting.

 

[Raikkonen]

The positive outcome for Kuz this season would be to taste NHL play and stay healthy.

I hope the opponent will opt to still hit Green and not the rookie. For now

I do not feel starting Kuz with OV is right decision. We need points.

 

[MiKE5889]

Can we have this for the front page? Please?

 

[Acallabeth]

Imagine that the game goes to the shootout, and for the final try with a chance to win it comes Kuznetsov!
Go Caps!

 

[RandyHolt]

"Net" as I like to call him doing a sick move in the shootout seems like a fine ending. I can see Oates stubbornly refusing to use him, though. I would rather he pots a goal that ends up on the score sheet.

Tonight could be the best game of the year, or it be the worst. At least we know Ovi is going to show up. I would love to see clearly that Backstrom and Green are giving their full effort as well. Have either broken a sweat this year? I won't hold my breath.

Russians in Nazi uniformes? Are ****ing out of your mind?

 

[RandyHolt]

Yeah after putting in all that work, he kind of overlooked that one aspect.

Back to the old drawing board.

Over under on the line Oates will put Nettie on... Vegas showing 2.5

I am going to take the under

 

[tycoonheart]

Oates is going to throw him on the 4th line and give him 5 mins.

Yeah, next Ward in KKK Hood...

Anyways, i hope he gets his jitters out early, plays a good game and we don't get embarrassed in our own building.

Put him on a 4th line with Latta and Wilson and that's better than our so called 2nd line -which is also worse than our so called 3rd line.

 

[strungout]

Oates is going to throw him on the 4th line and give him 5 mins.

Im getting that vibe as well...because you know...Oates.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Preview of the first round of the playoffs or the nail in the coffin.

You know Orpik is just salivating at the opportunity to rock Kuz.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Give the guy a break, he may be Ukrainian after all.

 

[strungout]

Kuznetsov with Beagle and Wilson at practice.

 

[peterthegreat12]

And Oates has Kuznetsov on a line with Beagle and Wilson. I mean how could you could mess with those top two lines, they have been so great...sigh.
