The Washington Capitals announced Monday afternoon that they have re-assigned forward Joe Snively to AHL Hershey.
MORE FROM THE CAPITALS
ARLINGTON, Va. – The Washington Capitals have loaned forward Joe Snively to the Hershey Bears of the American Hockey League (AHL), president and general manager Brian MacLellan announced today.
Snively, 27, has appeared in three games with Washington this season. In addition, the 5’9”, 180-pound forward has recorded 21 points (7g, 14a) in 25 games with Hershey this season. Snively ranks second on Hershey in assists, tied for third in points and tied for fifth in goals.
Snively appeared in 12 games with the Capitals in 2022-23, recording four points (2g, 2a) and a +3 plus/minus rating. In 32 regular-season games with Hershey last season, Snively registered 27 points (9g, 18a). During the Bears’ run to the Calder Cup championship, Snively led Hershey in points (15), assists (13), and power-play points (7).
The Herndon, Virginia native became the first Virginia-born player to play for the Capitals in franchise history in 2021-22. In 12 games with Washington, Snively recorded seven points (4g, 3a), including a three-point effort (2g, 1a) on Feb. 10, 2022 against the Montreal Canadiens. Snively became one of 15 rookies in franchise history to record at least seven points in his first 10 games.
Snively has recorded 11 points (5g, 6a) in 27 career NHL games with the Capitals. In 176 career AHL games with Hershey, Snively has recorded 134 points (51g, 83a).
Snively trained at MedStar Capitals Iceplex during his youth and was a participant in Washington’s Little Caps program.
People here were saying he’d have to pass thru waivers, but I don’t think he did, since he had already gone thru waivers after training camp. Johansen needed them, because he hasn’t gone thru them yet this year.
I debated whether to look up NHL waiver rules this weekend, or read an advanced physics textbook. I chose the physics book. Easier to understand.
You are correct. Snively was already waived (from training camp).
So has Joe been good, bad or in-between? Or as Mr. Spock would say, “Insufficient data, Captain” ?!
along with little ‘uns like Phillips there is no place for the Joe Snively types
Canonly carry one of Snively or Phillips and why they chose Phillips I do ot know!
Calling all NovaCapsFans statistical analysts and Operations Research experts!
D. J. Smith just got the axe in Ottawa. Jacques Martin comes back for a Reunion Tour along with Daniel Alfredsson.
I like Alfredsson because he was the first NHL veteran to call-out Cindy Crosby as a whining crybaby. I like Jacques Martin because he has the biggest ears in NHL history
To the Technical Question: Is PIT Mike Sullivan on the Hot Seat? Is he next for dismissal?
That’s a very funny comment because you’re calling Crosby a woman.
You’re a Caps fan and you have never heard Crosby called Cindy before?
It’s just very funny. He’s calling him a woman. Incredible insult.
Once again it would be interesting to see what Snively could do with a legit opportunity wether it be here or elsewhere like Arizona or Vancouver Chicago Columbus where he got steady every night 3rd line minutes. Snives and E Frank deserve their shot in the bigs here real soon. Too good for AHL
OK Gents, one more time for effect:
Will PIT admit it’s time to cash-in the Sullivan chips?
Will a new coach in PIT be good for our Caps?
Sullivan I believe is second longest tenured coach currently. A week ago Dubas spoke to the press:
“As soon as a team doesn’t reach its potential, it seems that right away the attention shifts to coaching,” Dubas remarked. “Being with him every day and not only seeing his attention to detail on the systems, but also his attention to detail with the players and coaching them individually and personally, I think we’re very fortunate to have Mike,” Dubas affirmed. “And so, do I think that he’s the right person for this job now and far to the future? I absolutely do. So I need to continue to support the coaching staff as best I can and help us get this going in the right direction.”
So I’d say no, no change during the season.
Thanks NovaFyre. Great analysis and info from GM Dubas
It’s good for Sully that PIT eked out a win last night after their 6-0 blowout vs TOR. In NHL many an outstanding coach gets shown the door — even if it ain’t his fault
