BTW, what happened with Dowd? He wasn't on the ice with 62 and 21 in the last shift(s?). 92 were with them instead.

Not only that, but he was out there to start every period, and was with Carlson protecting the lead with less than 2 minutes to go (with Orlov and Carlson closing the game out). One other thing I’ve noticed about Kempny is he’s persistent at providing a net front presence when he isn’t 1:1, and trying to clear the net in front of Sammy. He still has an underrated snare to his game.
I just don’t understand the logic that he’s behind even Johansen on a roster chart? Johansen isn’t even in front of him on Hershey’s depth chart. I don’t think, at this point, Irwin or Cholo should ever be playing if Kempny is available instead.
I hope #895 will be a good goal without an offside review or was it deflected by a Caps stick and so on .
I'm hoping it's an empty netter to really trigger the haters.
We got different eyes. He's sloooooow, he's lost his burst and generally chases the play. He looks better than he did a few months ago but I think he's done for, long term.The eye test says Kempny is good again. What are the salary cap implications of keeping him on the nhl roster?

I guess if you were still missing Brooks Orpik he looks pretty close to that but...
had nothing in common with Orpik.Come on. Dont be mean. Kempny has nothing in common with Brooks Orpik. The last time Kempny was on the NHL team, he was awful. He played himself out of the lineup and was calling for that. He was terrible. What Ive seen so far is that he is no longer terrible. He has always been limited but based on what ive seen so far, I would rather see him in a big game than anyone not in the current healthy top 6. I am sure there are several here that would take a Kempny TvR 3rd pair over TvR Schultz. Is Kempny as good as he was before his injury? I dont think so. He is good enough to play, though

the Kempny I watched last night was bent over at the waist a lot for some reason C-cutting like a madman just to chase guys into the corners about a step too late. He held on, but did not look "good", and spent a lot of shifts trying to get the puck out of their own end. He's also making bad offensive reads and not handling the puck particularly well, which doesn't help in this system at all.
Can you stop being so dramatic for a day? You said he was good again, I didn't see what you saw.He made a bad read that hung someone out for a 2 on 1 against that ended up in the net. I saw that. So....I failed the eye test and Kempny still sucks. Ok. Moving on.
I think we should be looking at Kempny as a 7th defenseman. So then the question is whether or not he is better than Irwin/Cholowski. Cholowski to my eyes looked like an AHL project. Maybe, with lots of coaching and playing time down there he can get his game to NHL level. Irwin looks OKish. No opinion, really.We got different eyes.

If you just want to say whatever you feel like saying without anyone daring to question it you can scratch the same itch in a word document.
Ok....you convinced me. And....so, you cant convince me? I dont get it bud. Point taken. I take mine back. I cant do that? So....
I'll go ahead and bold the constructive part, then underline the passive aggression for you.He made a bad read that hung someone out for a 2 on 1 against that ended up in the net. I saw that. So....I failed the eye test and Kempny still sucks. Ok. Moving on.
Where do you slot in TVR in this combo?Factor in that Kempny's games have been all on a very depleted D lineup and being played 20+ in anything-but-sheltered minutes
I'd say he's been fine, and with a few more games who knows he might get back that lovin' feeling
Wonder what he'd look like 3rd pair with this as the Top-6 and a few more fwds off the Covid list
Fever-Carl
Orlov-Jensen
Kempny-Schultz
His minutes/usage could be much more controlled and a more healthy fwd lineup could make a big diff. in Team D

Once is an eye roll or accepting that someone's not having a good day. Ten times is a tactic. If you can't see how playing with words like that is unnecessary and counterproductive on a discussion board I can make it clearer.you’ve been reading too much into things for a while IMO….just sayin…..please continue .
