I just can’t root for Boston,I want them to lose. Sorry orlov

Yeah, ok. Whatever keeps you happy. I'm sure you're part of the Caps org and can tell me how many times Korn was a practice working 1-on-1 with Braden and where they went after for dinner and what Braden used to shave that massive neckbeard.

Korn was here when Holtby was in decline. Period.

Appeal to authority? I guess you've never worked in an organization before. But you know of all the inner-workings of the Capitals org. haha Keep spitting in the wind.

Come on dude, these were things that were widely reported at the time. You're pretending like I'm making this shit up.

RMNB has the easiest archive to search thru (RIP the old Japer's Rink site, their archives are all currently mid-dated after the site move ), and WaPo puts a paywall on old articles. So here ya go:

“It’s been a while since Holtby’s been the top of his game. You can see the shakiness in it and the team recognized that Korn was out and about doing other aspects of his job. But they brought him back in and tried to get this thing straightened out before it’s too late.”

Braden Holtby has been pulled in three of the Caps last six games. Barry Trotz says Philipp Grubauer may start ‘for a bit.’

During Tuesday's 4-0 loss to the Anaheim Ducks, Braden Holtby was pulled for the third time in six games. After an excellent…

Mitch Korn leaves Capitals to join Barry Trotz and Lane Lambert with the New York Islanders

On Thursday afternoon, the New York Islanders announced that they have hired Mitch Korn as their new director of goaltending. Korn will…

They literally gave it screen time during broadcasts on CSN leading up to the playoffs. I can distinctly remember Joe and Locker talking about Korn’s role and how he’d come back to the day to day role to polish things. I could be mistaken but I don’t even think he was in town before that.

Getting spicy in Winnipeg.

Didn’t Maurice - who’s been a pretty successful NHL coach - just up and quit with time left on his contract. Basically, did an I can’t coach these guys

Wheeler should probably shut his mouth and push back a little more in game if he doesn’t like his team being labeled as soft by their own HC.

 

[YippieKaey]

Wasn't Wheeler stripped of his captaincy a few years back? Seems like if every coach has the same issues with the same team it's probably the team.

One of the first things Bowness did when he arrived was take the C off Wheeler - so it's not surprising they aren't on the same page. Wheeler seems pretty toxic, and so does Shiefele

The lineup looks good for the Leafs. Pretty much optimal even.

A lot of people thought splitting Matthews and Marner would make sense so we’ll see it tonight. Also getting Gustafsson and Liljegren in the lineup over Holl and some bottom 6 nobodies should help too.

That said, go Lightning!

I think you're secretly a Bolts fan because you live in Florida...

 

[Langway]

Very here for Panger's trash talk reporting.

 

[PlushMinus]

I always chuckle when Panger talks about his goalie experiences. He seems like a great guy but his goalie stats are pretty woeful.

 

[Roric]

I was wondering when stamkos was gonna show up, huge goal

 

[twabby]

Hockey is so funny

My suggestion to the Devils is to stop taking dumb penalties. I’m a smart hockey man

 

[twabby]

Sergachev having a rough game.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Boooooooooooo……evil wins the day in Tampa.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Toronto actually did it.

 

[895]

Samsonov is a series winning goalie.

 

[twabby]

On the plus side that probably means Carbery will be available.

On the negative side, I imagine offseason hilarity will be minimized from Toronto.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Samsonov is a series winning goalie.

Quick get him in the HOF.

 

[Langway]

When's the parade?

 

[Roric]

For f***’s sake vasilevskiy…

I don’t trust bob against toronto either

 

[twabby]

I wonder if they go on a Caps-like run after exorcising their demons, or if they lay an egg in round 2.

 

[Nice]

Would the season be considered a success if Toronto lost in round 2

 

[Ovi895]

Samsonov is a series winning goalie.

Beating Tampa no less.

At least we got a decent return for trading his RFA rights right
