Well at least somebody pulled a stasny to end a playoff game in OT. 

Sweeps are hard..... I certainly don't expect anything more from them but it would be nice if the caps can take just one.

Seriously… I don’t even remember which company/product this is despite having heard it like 500+ times.

I said this yesterday but wanted to bring it back. Is anyone worried about Kuzy?  The guy is at the bottom of the list in plus minus every game. I’m starting to feel he just isn’t good at hockey anymore.  Also, KK playing is like nails on a chalkboard.   We just aren’t a good team when he plays. Do we call up Suzuki?

No. He’s already been called up as a black ace, we aren’t going to Suzuki because we lost one flipping game. KK is playing better than you think, just because he missed a goal doesn’t mean he’s bad. Kuz on the other hand, has some issue and I don’t know what it is. He’s not playing crisp, he’s either trying too hard or not enough. I’m not sure you can say he’s at the bottom of +/- every game because he’s not in the playoffs.

KK is not the issue here. He's played well.

There is reason he was benched this year. He hasn’t been playing well at all. Maybe…maybe a game this playoffs. The groups fascination with KK is wild. He isn’t good.  If he was that good he would have been benched for Kuzy when we traded for him.

I mean seriously, if we benched players for missing an empty net once a game we wouldn’t have a roster to start. KK isn’t great this year but he’s been serviceable, hopefully he’s just having a Necas slump, but I’m not too sure he hasn’t hit his ceiling here unfortunately though. Moral of the story though, KK is what we got. We aren’t throwing a perennial AHL player into the playoffs without a practice since like training camp. It’s far more likely we put Comtios in and move Drury to center a line in a HYPOTHETICAL situation.

I strongly disagree with this maybe if you are just watching points sure, but he had provided a ton of physicality and has played well defensively.....

He is an incrediblely streaky player scoring wise.... your neglecting to mention he also earned his spot back from Kuzy and Drury (Kuzy has his own issues but he adds a ton to the PP he single handily won game 1 for us)

I think rod needs to Reunite SAT and try Guentzel-KK-Jarvis if that doesn't work I'd seriously consider trying something I think he should have already and try JARVIS AT 2C his game is all about right down the middle and he is a natural C.

Idk who this Vancouver goalie is but he’s solid.

I agree we got here with what we have..... KK has played better than point totals he's added needed physicality and defense.... 

 

Check my other post for more on that.

 

This is kinda what I meant telling people to chill the other day lmfao. One road road double ot loss and people are saying crazyniess.

He's been alright but considering how Nash got goalied by there other guy last game I'm not sure how much it actually means.

We don’t need svech on 1 right now, unless they start gooning again.

I’d go Guenz-Aho-TT Svech-KK-Necas

I stand by more original lines, dropping Necas to 4… but.
