I'm all in favor of trying something different, but Kap isn't it. He's had numerous chances and just can't seem to hold onto his spot. He's now relegated to 4th line and his next move should be back in the press box, again.
Kapanen has 4pts in 10 games with the worst usage of any winger on this team. Rust has 6 in 10 getting top 6 time and a lot of pp1 time as well.

Sure sure mate. Sure.

Blame Casey for the idiotic pass behind the goal that caused the whole thing. Carter just unlucky with the stick after saving a goal.

Exactly. DeSmith basically turned a nothing play into something with his play on that.

DeSmith f***ing sucks. I don't even care about sloppy play, but man he can't even make a save if it's a dangerous chance.

Sid can’t win a face off to save his life. Can’t wait until they announce he has a slow release botch of last year’s wrist surgery.

Kappy needs to get that shot off way quicker. Cradles it 3-4 times before shooting giving plenty of time for Talbot to slide across and steady his position. Made it easy on him. Getting a worst, but quicker shot off when the goalie is still in motion is going to be a lot more dangerous there.

That's always been his problem as a shooter. His power and accuracy is good, but he negates that by taking forever.

DeSmith is pretty terrible. Rely on him for some games but to lean on him is a recipe for disaster.

He will make some close his eyes sweet save every now and then and people will think he's some stud but he's an AHL goalie.

Maybe the same doctor who did his wrist surgery also did Auston Matthews'. Matthews is having an uncharacteristically average goal scoring year this year due to some lingering wrist injury that was supposed to be fixed via surgery.

Guentzel and Rakell wanted no part of taking a hit there on that zone entry. Easy retrieval and exit for the Sens...didn't even have to take or make a hit.
