is the Warden hurt?
I haven’t heard anything but the last few games I’ve seen with Carolina have had Peters in net.
Hope the Caps play the same way they did in Florida, crowding the crease scoring goals in tight.
Also if you’re interested, my mobile fantasy picks are (Who else?) Semin and Green.
He’s probably getting pissed at the bar.

Legace and Peters have been playing, as Ward is out with a back injury I think. He’s supposed to start practicing a little again this week or next week.
I don’t really mind not facing him. He’s as good as it gets when he’s on his game.

Is Peters any good? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen him in action.
Rink Rabbit & newest member of TySlo's fan club.
Peters looked pretty good beating the Pens last week. Made almost 40 saves, looked pretty athletic, and had a game-saving stop on Dupuis down the stretch. I haven’t watched him much, though. He can’t play any better than Manny Legace did against us, can he?
I picked the same exact two for mobile fantasy, but the let me down last time. I feel a Good Sasha night tonight

Those are some solid lines. Should be a good game.
Now helping to keep an eye on all things Gr8 at Alex Ovetjkin.
I really wish Bruce would filp Flash and Chimera on those lines just for this one game.
"Why don't you smegging well smeg off, you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!"
I just like that speed Chimmer brings, and in those couple of shift he played the top line he looked damned good.
"Why don't you smegging well smeg off, you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!"
Building chemistry on the 3rd line is more important than letting Chimmer play with Backstrom.
You had me at no problem.
And that third line had chemistry. Maintaining that chemistry is more important than forcing Flash into the lineup. Those 3 play a simple game and Flash doesn’t quite fit with them. Let Flash be the AHL Ovechkin on the top line for now, but let’s see if we can’t get the 2-3 lines clicking for the playoffs. If Flash is the odd man out, he’s the odd man out. Unfortunately, I have no doubt that BB disagrees.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
As much as Flash is BB’s boy and seems to be bulletproof, he still belongs somewhere in the top 9 without a doubt.
Having said that, I still have no idea what the lines will look like. My guess is Chimera gets demoted if B.Mo is part of the playoff roster.
I agree, but if that third line keeps dominating the puck and scoring goals how do you break them up? Flash is good but he’s not really a playoff player and I don’t think he should be guaranteed a playoff spot.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
Are you asking me? I think you and I kinda have the same opinion on players.
I wouldn’t break up the 3rd line.
Yeah, we do. It just pisses me off preemptively that Flash will end up breaking up that third line. Of course, if that line loses its magic then that’s one thing, but they deserve a few games together to show us what they got.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
I sometimes wonder if Flash’s problem is is that he burns out each year due to all the health problems. Last year, he was sick so was too weak to do much the second half of the year. This summer, he could not do as much conditioning due to the deep vein thrombosis.
It seemed that he benefited from a night off.
Rocking the Red since 1975
He belongs in the top 9 on some team, but it may not be this one if the most effective line combos are 8/19/22, 21/(Belanger, 18?)/28, 25/9/16.
Flash is more skilled than some of those guys, but if that’s the most effective total combination, how can you not roll with it?

I picked ODU and Murray.
ODU cause they get alot of attention in VA, and Murray cause I got waitlisted by Vanderbilt last year

ODU was probably a sexy pick based on their win over the Hoyas in December. Paid off, too.

Caps/Canes is pretty meaningless. BOS/PIT will help determine who is second (and therefore possible conference finals opponent), who is eighth (and therefore the Caps first opponent), and of course will have all the righteous wrath of the Bruins.

Quenville was way more pissed about this one. Told the press that you can call the Ovechkin hit questionable, but that this was the most dangerous hit he’s ever seen in a hockey game. I’m pretty sure I’m tipping my hat to YNC on that grab, but I’m not sure.

Digging the prospects and monitoring their development is what separates bandwagon organizations from true hockey fan bases. There’s a very prominent Nationals prospect Michael Burgess who Does.Not.Get.It. But there’s not much accountability within and without the organization so far for him. You hope things are different with the Caps organization and Delly is part of the solution.

I’m not familiar with Michael Burgess. Is he a talented guy who likes to do dumb shit?

Well he was a first round draft pick, but he played like crap in Potomac last year

He’s a highschooler draft pick of Bowden who had some entitlement issues. He can hit the ball a mile, but he struggles with strikeouts, hustle, and weight issues.

Highschooler draft pick != a 4-year major juniors vet who is the captain of his team and 2-time national team medalist.
This statement of mine didn’t make it into the article, but maybe the reporter told him when they talked:
Advice to SDR: The Caps’ organization loves winners, gym rats, and ‘good locker room guys’. So keep up the winning, be in the best shape you can possibly be, hone your skills, and be a generally great person. Somehow I think it may work out.

Went to the same high school as Dwight Gooden and, I think, Gary Sheffield. Remember seeing a good SI article on him in his high school playing days, and I was thrilled when the Nats snagged him. Hopefully he can get it back together and live up to his potential. Also heard he had lost some weight over the winter as well.

Hey, it’s still Theo’s gig to lose, but I would like to see more viable depth.

"Hey anyway I can get my name out there 30 years from now is great," Steckel said. "They will be like, ‘Who was that guy?’ Then they’ll look at the stats and say, ‘Well, at least that guy was really good on face-offs.’"
My view: we know for a fact that varly is better than Theo. We also know that were the Caps lucky enough to ride Theo to the cup, he’d be one of the weakest goalies to do so in recent memory. That’s not to say it’s impossible (osgood never was much of a goalie, fleury is good but certainly not great), but mediocre goalkeeping is a hindrance not a help. Varly’s shown the low end of greatness in his first 30 NHL games. That’s a good sample size that includes the playoffs. We know he can play at that level.
What we need is for Varly to get a lot of reps in these last few weeks to get back into form. Anything else is a waste of time.
Varly is more talented and younger than Theo, but he is not the better of the two right now. If he gets back to his normal form, then that’s great for the Caps, because it means they have two capable goalies. But to me, if Theo keeps playing the way he is, he’ll be the one in the playoffs, until he falters. Theo’s goaltending lately has been good to great, not mediocre. If he goes back to his mediocre form, that’s a different story. But the way things are going right now, we would not be riding a mediocre goalie to the Cup. We would not be riding one of the best in the business either. If Theo is playing the way he has been and we can’t win the Cup, it’s not going to be because of bad goaltending.

"Why don't you smegging well smeg off, you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!"
I have to believe that ship has sailed until Theodore lets in 5 softies on 5 shots. Theo is 13-0-2 or something like that. Too good to bench for the chance of Varly finding his way,
15-0-2 his last 17 games I believe. That’s an impressive stat.

Yeah you have to expect that. You know Thornton wants to inflict as much punishment as possible. BSH was upset about some late punches earlier in the week, but I think that part of the code is all but dead.
Killer_Carlson and Steckel Me Elmo are like brothers to me. And when I say brothers I don't mean like actual brothers. I mean it like how black people use it, which is more meaningful, I think.
Was he given time to take his helmet off? That’s not really normal so as much as I hate Cooke it’s hard to fault him much.

I didn’t see it, but according to @BanginPanger
And Thornton asks to take off their helmets, Cooke says no. Cooke has a visor; Thornton did not. #JustSayin

Solid win, but not a WIN. Feels like more to come.

I doubt Cooke fights again. If they want more they’ll have to line him up in game play.

Came over to the Caps game, though gameplay wise it feels like there’s more scraps coming.

Yes there will be a cage lowered over the Boston Ice for the second period. First man out wins

the more i see cooke play the more i dislike him.. though I had no qualms for that short stint he did with the caps. I guess he’s just one of those players you hate on any team but your own.
did he get penalized for the visor ?
By the way, does anyone know if Corvo and Walker were given cheers when they were introduced?

My senior year, douche bag from our rival team broke my linemate’s wrist. . .
No fights, no big hits, but everytime he was on the ice, i made sure i played hard and got our cycle going in their zone. 5 or 6 of my slap shots were “blocked” by a certain douche bag
Bah-Ram-Ewe, Ovechkin will wreck you. Fear the Furious Fleece!

Kicked out? For what? Instigator?

I wonder if the refs got special instruction for the game
"Why don't you smegging well smeg off, you annoying little smeggy smegging smegger!"
Gave him a misconduct.

Yep, 10 for punching while the linesmen were trying to break them up after Cooke went down.

Line 3 looking nice

The Bruins game started about 10 minutes after the Caps game – means we can watch Bs during intermissions. Makes me happy. Although I’ll miss the telestrator.
He whiffed …

True, I was about to say he isn’t used to shooting that close to the net, haha. Not his “office.”

Carolina announcers have some fair things to say about ovechkin, nice to hear some normal people
Ovechking...
resident master jinxer
must be lonely over there by himself
"Hey anyway I can get my name out there 30 years from now is great," Steckel said. "They will be like, ‘Who was that guy?’ Then they’ll look at the stats and say, ‘Well, at least that guy was really good on face-offs.’"
He’s not on the bench? Why not?
I agree totally about the stupidity of the average person. Horrifyingly, nearly 50% of people are even stupider!
not enough room apparently

weird
has that ever happened before? Does Carolina just have small benches?

Aw man… I just remembered my brother’s friends don’t have CSN and that’s where his bday party is Saturday night. Grrrr. Better be a late starting party so I can find a place to watch the game!

It’s the 3rd period that I’m nervous about. He’s had good 40min efforts before.
