Canes vs caps 7pm

Chatty and Orlov with the only defense on the ice. NOT. CANES. HOCKEY. 
 

Also I find it hard to see us taking Lemieux off the ice. I think if Svech is having issues still after Toronto, Rod needs to sit him for a game or two. KK or Drury is the other question. I think Drury. If we got dinged up forwards I think we need to continue playing Lemieux on rotation. 

Svech at the bottom again. Also, is it concerning this is the third game in a row that Kuzy is at the bottom of the list?

Yeah Brett Pesce laying down for 30 seconds when the Caps scored their last goal, might be the cherry on top. I have been down on Brett this entire year, but that was ridiculous, if your injured get off the ice, laying down gave the opposition an advantage. I don’t care if we replace Pesce with Tony from here on out, we should bench Pesce and call up Coughlin.

I mean the dude could have been out of wind, disoriented, assessing how bad the injury was, etc. That one’s on the refs, even if it was an attacking zone push by the caps.

The whole line has been poo, but so have 1 and 4 vs. Philly and 3, 4 vs the caps. We need practices. We aren’t playing canes hockey and instead falling back on flashy “easy” hockey. For real dude, we sucked in the past week or so minus the senators game, the Isles were not in it in their game and we took advantage of that. 

Like I said, these wild card teams are going to lay down. We weren’t valuing possession, we are grinding to our spots on the outside and we are losing a majority of the offensive zone board battles, while favoring them to give away the puck, either in ice or on the clear.

I said it all last night, we could score against either Washington goalie. That wasn’t the issue. Drop of a hat could score. But we weren’t playing winning hockey, we were chasing the game the entire game. 

We desperately need a full practice but we won’t get one until probably Monday or maybe Wednesday. Easy hockey is not canes hockey and Rod needs to put a stop to this poo now. Everyone is way too goal/individual offense focused. 

It’s also important to note we got banged the fug up last night, hopefully Fasty and Drury are on call.

As much of a shooting run Jarvis has been on I question not giving him a go in the shootout 

If you want to go purely on numbers. Jarvis is a great open space shooter but that doesn’t necessarily translate to 1v1 without distractions, Netfront, etc.

 

Perhaps he deserved a chance but I would have gone Kuz, Martinook, Aho, Guenz, Slavin last night.

Well, I have seen Jarvis skimp one knee at a time to get off the ice, and we still got to many men on the ice penalty. Pesce went down almost net front, making it incredibly difficult to defend. Also, you can’t rely on the refs for anything in that game, they were slashing almost everyone and getting away with it.

Better start getting Martin ready for some games. Washington is really trying to cause a stink about Pyotr kicking the dude hacking his glove hand from behind. 

I hate the Capitals, I hate them more than Boston or Florida.

Refs didn't say anything because the guy was hitting Coochies glove after the whistle

    • Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

    • 2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
