Would of guessed @Idiot Stick made the OP with that image lol.

Hopefully Bob can snap out of this soon. Last year when the defense was missing Fats and Monty he still seemed sharp.

Always have to wonder when his age, father time, catches up to a player, especially one that requires so much movement/quick twitch like a goalie.

I will say if they start playing better defense, the goaltending will improve.

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

I would give Knight more starts just because you have to make a decision on him after the season

Wait Ovechkin isn't even playing? WE LOSE BIGLY TONIGHT!

Well the Donk ain't doing much any more. We need Boobtitsky back.

Knight has definitely been playing better than Bob. Had that one shaky start, and then a shaky first period, and has been very good since then.

I would squeeze in a few more starts for him. I also think Bob will bounce back.

I can't explain all of the little details that show that this team is not playing defense like they were when they were at their best last season. And I know that you believe the problem is the goaltending. But I believe the goaltending will follow the defensive play in front of him. So it's no point to continue this.

Put Kulikov on the top pairing and give Ekblad a rest on 3rd pair.

He should anyway, Bob is 36. I don't like how they overplay him

Ekblad's always resting

What a bum Versteeg became. Got paid, thought he was Patrick Kane and turned the puck over 30000 times.


Wonder if they should consider Reinhart with NoSwaggy and Bennett for a few shifts.

 

[IdleTraveller]

So back to "normal" then? The line switching didn't pan out, I guess...

I don't know - the Caps are hot and we're currently letting in 6 or 7 goals a night. And then we have the red hot Leafs and Canes... I'm hoping we pull out of this funk we're in against these teams but not sure.

We should sit him to hold him accountable for his bad luck! /s

with current track of events, the decision would be made on Bob
