from this angle it looks more or less harmless…
from this angle it looks much worse…
carrier pilots are taught to put their heads back against the seat during launch, and I’ve been on a few roller coasters that told you the same. That’s still a hard hit, but if he had his head back it may not have been a concussion

Yea, these cars don't collapse at all. Especially on the rear. If you look at previous seasons when they backed it into the wall, it would fold up nearly to the rear glass. These, you can barely tell they've hit it. Bowman was probably going over 150mph when he hit. Looks so tame from outside the car view. They have a new rear clip they're testing for next year. Hope nobody else gets injured before then.
This was Denny in the Gen6 car at Loudon. Flat 1 mile track. Probably half the speed Bowman was going.

That's 14 forwards and 7 D. One more than 20 man roster will allow in regular season.
Also...no Nick Dowd in this lineup.
Caps need to still trim 5 guys from the roster for the season. McMichael better play well - he is waivers exempt so moving him down costs nothing (like Protus). Looks to me like the Fall guy (Fjallby) might be on the list, along with Snively, Borgstrom, Clark(exempt). Caps need to cut 5 guys - at least three will have to clear waivers - yikes.
Looks to me like either Protus OR McMichael will make the roster, but not both. Unless they put Dowd on Waivers, but I don't think they will.
Go Caps

on the bright side, the Nats season ends today so there won’t be this stupid musical on which team gets the primary radio coverage
