It would be nice to have the luxury to do it again this season. Copley doesn't inspire the same confidence that Grubauer did though... Holtby got rest last season cause Grubauer was playing awesome and leading the Caps to the playoffs while Holtby has his worst regular season ever. Holtby can easily handle the load and I know he prefers it as he has said so in the past. If he’s in a rhythm, keep playing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is that he gets burned out when we need him the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Given the lack of back to backs I wouldn’t worry about it. Maybe give him one game of the last few off but the week of the back to back is a good time to get him a couple extra days: Saturday, Tuesday, Friday vs every other day. I imagine the Caps will push for home ice through the first two rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFanRob Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 While we are on the topic of holtby I want to start a debate. Are we looking ar a future hall of famer? With the accolades he has, Stanley cup champ, Vezina winner, second quickest goalie to 250 wins, and will more than likely break the caps record for most shutouts. If not what what do you think he needs to do more to cement his place in the HOF? i personally think if he keeps winning at a regular clip he’s already in.

He needs about 4 more years of his standard production to cement his HHoF induction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think he finishes his career in Washington. I think that he’s out of here after his current contract is over and the next goalie (possibly Samsanov) is groomed for a starting role.

If he wins more Cups and dominates playoffs, he will be in the hall. If he doesn’t win another Cup, he needs to be significantly better in the regular season than last season and this season otherwise his goalies against and save percentage won’t be Hall worthy to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's on track but needs more dominant years. It's interesting to see who from this Caps core Stanley Cup championship team make the HoF. Ovie is obvious. How about Backy? Carlson? I just saw Trotz reach a coaching win milestone as well, and now he's got a Cup, and remember he basically built the Nashville franchise. He'll get HOF consideration too.
