So much of their home play deserves much more booing. Pathetic.
He hasnt been the problem this gameKempny literally can’t even make a pass at this point. Absolutely terrible pass to Wilson in the neutral zone on that last shift then he can’t even pass it to him from 3 feet away in the zone to end the period. This guy f***ing sucks.
He didn’t turn into a 25 goal scorer because he became better at puck possession, using his body to shield the puck, making better passes, or making better decisions on zone entries instead of forcing himself over the blue line and then getting trapped or taking limp 100 foot shots on rushes. I’m literally saying to myself “well that rush is going nowhere”. I’ll take those things, I don’t even expect him to backcheck competently, gave up on that a long time ago .Last time that happened Ovie turned into a 25g scorer. No thanks.
This. Nothing short of embarrassing. No wonder there’s no energy from the crowd. Outplayed, outworked, and sloppy tonight. Same goes for the game against NJ but they pulled out a win against a bad team. Embarrassing effort against STL. And dig themselves an early hole and lose against DAL.So much of their home play deserves much more booing. Pathetic.
I didn’t say he’s been the problem, but he’s the worst player on the ice, so he’s definitely a problem.He hasnt been the problem this game
Tonight he isn't close to the worse player on the iceI didn’t say he’s been the problem, but he’s the worst player on the ice, so he’s definitely a problem.
You have one guy who can handle the puck well on that line. If Snively returns I’d strongly lean toward returning him to that line.Can we experiment now and just split up this Ovi-Kuznetsov-Wilson line for good? I don't think they've been good since the start of the year.
Let me see some Ovechkin-McMichael-Mantha
pretty damn close….Tonight he isn't close to the worse player on the ice
Doubtful should they play the Panthers. I think it would be a 4 game sweep, 5 games tops.Give the new goalie a few games, we've got a spot in the playoffs already who cares. Maybe you strike magic.

This will sound harsh but he will be almost unplayable in the playoffs unless his shooting gets hot and the rest of his line and defensemen compensate for his puck handling incompetence.

I dunno, I just think they need to finally split Ovi-Kuzy. Ovi-Backstrom is too old and Ovi-Eller was always very meh. But now that McMichael has emerged, i'd like to see them try something. But maybe someone on the fancy stats train can tell me what works. I have a feeling the Ovi-Kuzy hasn't been great at 5v5 latelyYou have one guy who can handle the puck well on that line.

Think all 3 games were one goal games and we won one of them. One went to OT. Never know until you try it.Doubtful should they play the Panthers. I think it would be a 4 game sweep, 5 games tops.
If you find me a player who’s been worse than him, then god bless that poor soul.Tonight he isn't close to the worse player on the ice
Sure. I just see a large speed difference and so much more depth top to bottom in FL They will try but I don’t expect much.Think all 3 games were one goal games and we won one of them. One went to OT. Never know until you try it.
