Bo and Pearson work, no point fighting it. And Boeser needs to get going somehow. Him and Bo have shown chemistry in the past, it’s worth a shot. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yet will play young guys on 4th line and give 2nd round picks away for cap dumps instead of fixing our biggest need in last 2 years I had enough of it Edited October 17, 2022 by Scottydzik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickinson woulda been fine on 4th line and probably woulda helped pk that 2nd plus Hoglander surely could bring us serviceable and capable top 4 d like mayfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dickinson didn't earn a roster space in camp, and people would also be complaining about giving up the young assets to get Mayfield, who would require giving up a first rounder. The ultimate solution is likely to be a hockey trade, which will require some patience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Stillman guy apparently likes to fight. Really? He don't look that big and nasty. Joshua? Where is PA finding these guys? Looks like Brenda Gaunce out there, all that size and plays small.

I know a lot of people say it is the D that is awful but the fact that JT Miller was on the ice for all 8 goals against says a whole lot about certain forwards helping. People forget that if the forwards do not help the D will easily get swarmed and look terrible 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An extra goal in either of those games and we’re waking away with at least a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 This isn't the powerhouse Caps team of old and they are totally beatable but the Offensive has to show up with some real snarl and determination. You know Ovie probably gonna get the hattie on the PP, so we got to be disciplined, put the puck away every chance we get and improve on all the details and we can get that first W of the season.

JTM has been the worst one who sulks after a bad pass and doesn’t hustle back to help correct his mistake. The scary thing is he is trying to be more of a w00 ft player and this is the result. Bruce needs to lay it out for JT. Do the simple things first early in the season, as the team gets into its groove the fancy plays will come but beginning of every season there is adjustment phase, simplify your game at the start of year. ‘He will turn it around this year what worries me more is that in 5 years when he loses a step, the bad passes and weak defensive efforts may be all that will remain.

Agreed! Bad plays, bad passes, lackadaisical back checking, ......, happen throughout the games to BOTH teams. The fact that our "powerplay" is so crappy, with the one seemingly go-to play, SPEAKS VOLUMES! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
