Since the Caps called up Rechlicz yesterday, I’ve been wondering…when is Chris Bourque going to get another shot? He’s tearing up the AHL right now…
Downie is 3rd in the NHL in PIM.
He fought one of our top-minute/special teams defensemen last time.
The Caps are missing 3 of their top players.
I’d think Wrecker is going in to fight someone.
If I were the Lightning I’d make sure it’s Downie.
No, I don't think I'll ever get over Macho Grande
If I were theLightningCapitals I’d make sure it’s Downie.
Also true!

More of the same here, but with a drop of minty fresh chiming-in-on-the-decision!

I’d kinda hope the Caps would prefer to take the best matchup. (Granted any player he takes off would prob be a good matchup)

Bourque’s always torn up the AHL. That’s not his problem – it’s been lack of production when he’s been recalled.
Failure is always an option.
He’ll get his shot – with the new team he signs with in July.
You perhaps knew me better as "Your Nation's Capital." Same great commentary, now with 100% more transparency!
He always gets his shot. It’s what he does. He never passes.
If you've read this far...seek help.

Considering he played more than half his games on a different team, not much.
Failure is always an option.
Only 10 of his 33 NHL games were under Boudreau. His first 3 were under Hanlon and he had 20 with the Pens.
Failure is always an option.
and if you, as a winger, can’t stick with that team, there’s an issue.

Bruce Boudreau when asked about Brooks Laich's return to the lineup, he said: "He just adds another dimension to our team. If it was puzzle, he just fits that thing. He completes us."
Brooks Laich completing everything from teams to tires and everything in between.

I’d love to feel all warm and fuzzy about this stat and what it means for the Caps chances tonight, but both of the previous wins against the Bolts were at home. It should also be noted that while the Caps scored 9 goals in these wins, they allowed 8.
2 points … is points … is 2 points

True, although the last goal the Bolts scored in the second game closed the margin to 4-3 with about 10 seconds left and the goalie pulled… I think Marty managed to get a puck shot at goal though

I’m just getting tired of the doom and gloom …. this is the best test the Caps have faced in a long time. Of course teams are taking it too us, the teams we have played in the past are simply tired of hearing those annoying goal horns against them. It’s really up to the player now… system or not – the players have to make it happen. I am really excited to see if the Caps can pull it off (getting to the playoffs). The Boston game should tell us something …. we CAN play. Everyone brought it in the Boston game. It’s really up to Caps…

The Bolts are a disaster. I’m not sure how you could feel that way. The Florida FA Medley at least manages to scrap OTL’s out of every fourth game.

Caps beating Boston without Ovie before the break > Tampa’s 4 game streak (granted they beat Boston as well but they had their main guys)… Probably just my major opinion

The Caps are like a box of chocolates…

I’m perplexed. Is this an allusion I should know?

All I get is that chocolate is poisonous to dogs. Guess that sums up this season. Steep drop from last summer’s expectations.

HA! Sorry, I was so slow on that one. Takes a lot of chocolate to kill Ol’ Yeller though.
