So can we say he skates in circles yet?

Good Riddance…although he does tend to play very well against his old teams.

Pothier HAS to be coming back, then.

That would truly be completing the circle. Or should we say, completing the square?

Circle gets the square?

Pothier is a much better 6th D-man than our current alternatives (Erskine/Sloan). I suspect if Pothier is still available in August he might be offered a chance to come back. He does know the system here, after all.

We could title this: “As the Crow Flies — Home”. The man who’s last name means “crow” and who’s name translates to a certain brand of tequila.

It was unfortunate that Corvo didn’t work out for the Caps the way we would have liked. It was a good gamble that just didn’t work.

Didn’t like the move then. Thought Potsy was one of our more reliable D-men. Not to mention we gave up Osala in the deal (a.k.a. the next Staal to Canes fans).

Meh. Best of luck to him, though.

Would you say the Caps ate crow on that deal?

Oddly enough, raven is actually considered to be a related word in most romance languages.

The Spanish word for “raven” is Cuervo (which is also crow).
The Italian word for crow is corvo; the Italian word for Raven is corbino.
In French, the word for both crow and raven is Le Corbeau.

So, could we now make “Never More” remarks in honor of the raven?
