I don't know. Fucale looked small in the shootout. It can be intimidating but I'm not entirely sold yet. I'd think about bringing Halak back maybe but they've got more fundamental issues up front either way.Fucale should start against the Bruins, but you know it won't happen. I don't know about you all, but to me Fucale has surpassed Vanecek on the Caps goalie depth chart.
Eller isn't what he used to be and Wilson is a no-show way too often with key regulars out. Their other fringe producers are always on thin ice rather than being given a full vote of confidence. No 19/77 hurts but there's a real trust issue when it comes to too many of their forwards. And some that have earned that trust, like Hagelin and overall probably also Hathaway, aren't great themselves. It's just a lot of clunky slop. More games will get them back in the flow of things but it goes to show on paper how thin they are. The parts themselves aren't super complementary and there's an obvious IQ deficit at times.
