If there's any team that can help Kuzy return to form it's Carolina.

 

[Nice]

Seeing this makes me realize if I had ever seen Ovechkin in another jersey, I would be in the hospital. Good for Kuz though

 

[Langway]

Good night for the ex's.

Wow they have really welcomed him to the team , huh.

I remember when his Caps teammates loved him that much as well! Then....shit happened. And Kuzy cares became Kuzy doesn't care.

Let's hope he can stay motivated. I don't want the Canes to win a Cup but I am happy for him to have success playing there.

 

[Hivemind]

Between Kuzy and Orlov, I'm rooting for Carolina in the East pretty easy. It's not like they've ever been a real rival of the Capitals, despite being in the same division. They've rarely been good at the same time. Only ever one playoff series between the two teams. DeAngelo is the only dirtbag on the roster.

 

[DWGie26]

I hope Kuzy does well. Same with Mantha. Good move for caps!

 

[zappa4ever]

Kuzy int
As a fellow human, gotta love his honesty
Plus his wife was in attendance

 

[Silky mitts]

How can you not cheer for that guy?

How many people have quit on a team like this? Comes in this year with a clean slate, still among the worst players in the league.

Yeah I know but he's funny, and he was their MVP in 2018. That's good enough for me!

 

[VaCaps Fan]

Raleigh seems like a good place to stay sober for an nhl player.

I don't care with the East, just don't let it be the Rangers.

Riiiight...no drugs in Raleigh. Afterall, they are illegal there.

 

[marcel snapshot]

I mean, the near tears thing is the kind of thing that happens when people with substance issues really face them. Doesn’t mean they don’t or won’t relapse - but it’s not nothing

This. The caps didn’t stop liking Kuzy, Kuzy stopped liking hockey and this the caps. For his sake I hope it doesn’t happen again, or he hangs them up and moves on to something else in life. If he becomes a boat anchor again, they won’t be doing birdy dances at center ice.

Well life is going to spin you challenges even when it is an areas well you feel you are unassailable (and/or take for granted). I really hope that anybody here is rooting for Kuzy failure. If it happens then that is on him as with anyone when it comes to accountability.

Buffalo with a statement game vs NYI tonight.I think they will ultimately capture that #2 WC spot.
(Also Sabres remaining schedule relatively easy).

What in the world is going on with Detroit. 7 losses in a row, and lately those losses haven't even been close.

Penguins still have some fight in them.

Kinda funny with all the Wings fans just recently saying that Yzerman was GM of the year.

 

[Random schmoe]

Kuzy is a human being. Regardless of his attitude or performance with the Caps the past few years, I want him to find success over his personal issues and be happy and good.

 

[pman25]

Detroit turned in their best performance of the year and destroyed us. Ever since, they’ve been Ass. Complete Doodoo

 

[StrikingDistance]

I don't care who's on their team:

f*** the Canes 24/7

Corny franchise, douchey coach, and stupid storm surge. I wish Kuzy all the best with his personal life, but hope he doesn't score another goal for them.

They are the Knights of the east.

Sort of NHL related...? Kareem El-Bashir, Tarik's son, committed to play D1 hockey at West Point. (Yes this was announced in October, I just read about it, and with Search being iffy at the moment I didn't know if anyone else had already posted it.)

I don't know much about Junior hockey in the US, but he's been playing for the Maryland Black Bears in the NAHL. He's got 32 points in 52 games this season, turned 20 two weeks ago.

K-Man is a good player. He played many years with my son in Ashburn and then for Little Caps. In fact, i actually convinced Tarik to have K-Man try out for WLC and he was unsure as he was an undersized skill player. It worked out well. He Moved to Team MD (AAA Youth hockey) his U16 year. Murray Gunty owns both TM and Black Bears so there was a path. That said, it Hasn’t been an easy run for him as is usually the case in Junior Hockey. He has persevered. Getting into Army ain’t no joke either. He has done very well! Needless to say they are all very excited.

not good results for the caps playoffs or my gambling in the early games Wings win and Islanders force a OT in the last seconds

Thanks for adding a ton! I've occasionally checked out his EP page just out of curiosity (a family friend's son also plays, so I check them both out).

And yeah, West Point ain't exactly your average college. Friend of mine from high school went there in the 90s.

Only a matter of time until Tariks son is destroying us in beer leagues lol
