I like this. Still not sold on Chucky being the #1. He wasn't all that great in the playoffs.
Who on the Caps was?

Caps sort of taking the Zoolander approach or opposite, depending on how you look at! Derek Zoolander can't turn Left! Kuemper's left catching glove wasn't good, so I guess get another goalie who catches right?!The rare two righty tandem.
Yeah that’s kinda like saying goalies falter often during a long season and one becomes the lead dog for a while and they might shuffle back and forth.He's going to take the starting job from Chucky at some point. He's a superior goaltender. Question is now...do they showcase them both so they're both tradable at the deadline and they can take the better package? Will be an interesting trade deadline for us. At least Mangiapane, Dowd, and one of the goalies likely on the move now.
Lindgren/Thompson are both kind of aggressive competitive goalies, so both will give each other good competition. Lindgren didn't let Scott Murray screw him up, so I hope Thompson can do the same.Yeah that’s kinda like saying goalies falter often during a long season and one becomes the lead dog for a while and they might shuffle back and forth.
Unless you’re counting on Lindgren to flop next season. A 27 year old great backup, just like Charlie was….one would hope he’s good enough to take the reigns and that’s likely by design by GMBM.
I'm a Flyers fan. Kindly shut the **** up, lmao.at this point im convinced this org will never make another good move as long we have this same FO, its honestly insane
Shepherd isn't an NHL goalie. lol Some guys just have very long successful AHL careers and that's OK.Thompson is a good goalie. I'm just wondering what the Caps gonna do with their logjam of goalies in Hershey and ECHL? I figured Stevenson will be the #1 and Gibson will back him up. Shepard won back2back Calder Cups, but I'm sure he wants a shot at the NHL, as he can't do much more at the AHL level. Wonder if there is something going on that Shepard gets traded?

It's kind of hilarious that THIS is the deal you're hanging your hat on as a bad one by the Caps orgat this point im convinced this org will never make another good move as long we have this same FO, its honestly insane

I appreciate that I can see ignored posts if I want to. when the conversation indicates that a poster who usually just gripes or ruins the vibe has said something of value, I look at it and engage. but otherwise I'm freed from the clutter.What’s the point then? If you’re going to be part of this community, be part of it, don’t shy away from it. It’s not always going to be cotton candy and butterflies when you have a very passionate group of people in one place talking about their favorite sport/teams.
@twabby is in (sometimes) feisty debates with 1/4 of this board some days….I should ignore him because it gets a little messy? Hard pass. Why give up the fun of the debate? Why ignore posters with good content just because they’re polarizing? I only ignore one person whose often disingenuous participation IMO makes this a worse place for me. You could say I eradicated that bees nest.
