5 bold moves Capitals need to win the Stanley Cup
#1 Let the kids play
It wasn’t just Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Tom Wilson, and T.J. Oshie that helped the Capitals win the Stanley Cup in 2018. It wasn’t just Braden Holtby but that save was all him. It was a bunch of young bucks too.
Guys like Chandler Stephenson, Jakub Vrana, Christian Djoos, and a cast of others whether smaller roles or black aces all played a part.
Which is why Connor McMichael and Hendrix Lapierre, one or the other, or both, need to find a place in the lineup come opening night. They have a good chance as Max Pacioretty isn’t going to be ready for opening night.
Carbery will in fact let the kids play. Rangers fans? I feel sorry for you.
Carbery worked in Hershey as a head coach before joining the Maple Leafs and was like a proud dad seeing Connor McMichael and other players that he coached lift the Calder Cup this summer.

Having a fresh face chomping at the bit to coach in the NHL and finally get his shot, it’s going to be fun seeing the buttons Carbery will press this fall and beyond.
