I guess it could be a dislocation, but the fact he sat out the rest of the game is an indication that there's a problem. Fact is, if he can manage to hold a stick without screaming in pain, he'll probably end up playing before the series is over.
Once i broke a bone in my hand bicycling (and split my lip wide open crashing in the rain - still have a scar on my lip) and gutted out biking the 4 remaining miles home. Can't imagine playing hockey at the highest level in the world with a similar injury.
(Dr.) Ovie said Kuznetsov will be ok so, I think he'll just rub some Vodka (tussin) on it and get back in there.

Re: The Washington Capitals Thread
Kuzy is a legit star. Thank God he played. That dude always had the talent. Sort of compared himself to Michael Jordan in a strange Russian way.

2 more, thought Holtby might have made an ever bigger error with that goal.

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Would it be jinxing the Caps to say they'll destroy Vegas tonight? If it would be, then I won't say it.

But you saying that reverses the damage that I created.
Or... does me saying that negate the benefit of your post?
Well, either way I won't make a prediction, but if I did... wow, what a great game it's gonna be! ... for the Caps!

Sucks you didn't have the guts to make a prediction.
Who'd have thought the Wizards season would have a real shot at ending in a parade?... with skates... and another one in California.
Bucket! Bucket!

Re: The Washington Capitals Thread
This is the franchise that has deserved a title more than any other one in the D.C. area (barring a 3-1 collapse). I've been with them through the Save the Caps campaign when Abe nearly gave up on the franchise and after two President's Trophies and no Cups, you wondered if it would ever happen. This team is really giving the DMV a huge boost. I've haven't really seen this kind of excitement since the Skins won their first Super Bowl 35 years ago and as young kid go to take off school and head to the parade. They have a chance to win the Cup on the 40th anniversary of the Bullets Championship win over Seattle. Wonder if I'll live to ever see the Wiz come together like this.

He's like Steph Curry handling the puck. And he could have gotten more points if his teammates were paying closer attention. Ovi's like our Tim Duncan with another year or 2 left, but Kuz is the MVP just reaching his prime.

Kuzy and Burakovsky make the caps a highly enjoyable team to watch for me. Orlov also. That silly Russian factor allowing a team to find an elite 1st line center 26th overall. Beautiful

Most talented player in his prime the Caps have ever had. He kind of cruises at times during the regular season (like the Wiz) but he finally realized his potential in the playoffs. Amazing on the breakaway. Incredible passer. Gets a little too cute sometimes because the playoffs are not about style -it's grit.

Re: The Washington Capitals Thread
Lots of babies in the District gonna have Russian names 9 months from now...
Ever since that little blonde girl caught the puck from Connolly and went viral and was a big internet sensation
you could literally see the karma of this franchise change and it was fascinating to watch and this is coming from
an outsider.
They need to have her in the cup during the parade

Lots of Alex's and a few Andre's, but the coolest kids will be named Kuz.
That girl should have playoff seats for life.
