It’s probably too soon to evaluate Kuzy’s time in DC. I think he’s been both a fantastic player, and something of a disappointment. We had some fantastic moments, and a couple of great seasons but I also think the last 3-4 years have been pretty underwhelming.
That said. We’ll always have Game 6 Vs Pittsburgh. We’ll always have that goal against the Islanders in Game 7; a goal that gave an entire fanbase a hope that maybe this era could be different. Bird Celly’s, Slow-mo shootouts and “Not My First Rodeo’s”.
Thanks for the memories Kuzy. I hope you figure some things out and find a way to be happy in whatever comes next.
That Montreal series exposed several weaknesses in the Caps game. Usually defense was their weakness in that era, but Montreal found a few other issues to exploit, and Halak was on fire too.
