They're just in maintain mode. No chance they make any postseason play with the roster they currently have. If they can stay close, then get Wilson and Oshie and Nicky back. Nevermind, we still won't have a chance, cause for all them to come back we'll have to send half the current roster to waivers or something..  :-\

The only thing the team has said about Fever is upper body, and I’ve not seen any replays that would narrow it it down any further. Oshie almost looks like he has a recurring hernia that won’t heal.

Can't even remember what happened to Fever. Not that they'd tell us anyway. Alta lists the known reasons next to the scratched names in GTD. "Upper Body" is what he has on Fever. Kinda, maybe, possibly remember him taking a shot to the shoulder/collarbone along the boards and maybe, possibly going straight down the tunnel, with arm hangin? Could of been a number of other guys though, so not sure, maybe, possibly.  :wackysmile:

Jeez.  Just what the Caps needed  - another injury.  Well at least it wasn't a Defensemen  :wackysmile:


But seriously though, hope JC is okay.  I didnt see the play but he took the puck to the cheek?

Cheek, face, ear. If I had to guess, with the hospital visit and all, I'd say it broke something other then skin. Probably another 6 weekr'. Yay us!

All of a sudden the Caps are 3rd in the Metro behind the Devils and Hurricanes. I knew it was too early to be panicking.


Though there is plenty of time left, anything can still happen.

Funny how their trajectory is following 2018 pretty much to a T. Im still way skeptical, but lots of fun when they're playing well.

Malenstyn has been sent to Hershey, I would assume for conditioning

So Backstrom is in Covid protocal ?


Sounds like he is really close to "playing" again based on Lavi's comments today....other than now he's in Covid protocol again.


Although....I don't know how they make the Cap with Backy and Willy returning to the lineup...
I guess with Carlson out you can swing it but what about when he returns?


Pepperidge Farm is gonna get fucked.  I expect Kubel and Protas will be first out, but Milano can't be far behind.

No clue how they get under the cap when everyone is healthy. Nicky, Willy, Oshie, Carlson = $29 million. They'll need to trade/waive half the roster to get them in. They'll lose guys like Milano and good depth players, then the next week Oshie and or Nicky will be hurt again and we'll be seeing guys from Hershey we've never heard of playing.  :wackysmile:


  Can't wait!  :sick:

What is this "Pepperidge Farm" that you refer to?

Mr Pretentious played a decent game but its too little too late for me.  He shot himself in the foot his very first game with us.  Good riddance to him.

Not sure about Protas.  Also can't quite get over the name.  Don't know why....

Really, really liking young Milano.  Hope he sticks around.
Also been happy with Mojo.  He's matured so much.


I think it's finally time to cut the cord on Dylan   :-\ :-(
I am

Oshie had a full practice this morning. Willy and Fever have also been practicing. They won’t play unless someone else gets sent down to Hershey.


Backy has also been skating but he’s now got the covid.

Come now Lil....we went over this already.  Milano is Pepperidge Farm - they make a cookie called Milano.  Sorry....a biscuit to you  ;D


How about just call him Kubel and he won't seem so pretentious?  I actually think he's a decent addition.  Good wheels and he HITS people and he's not scored much, but he's been around the net.  I think the 3-gamer to the face can happen to anyone (just ask Willy...and Ovie...).  Open ice hits are fast and tough when you get a shoulder in someone's mush....especially your first game with a team.  He definitely left an impression (of his shoulder in the dude's face)


Protus I like for size & speed as well, and he had a phenomenal camp which earned his spot, but he's young yet, so no doubt he will be first to go down and visit Mr McMichael's club.


Milano (Pepperidge Farm) has played really well with the time he's had.  Not sure why he could not make Calgary (or whoever) on the tryout.  He's got pretty decent hands and a good reach and skates well.  I think he will get fucked when Willy and Backy return...although if Protas is 1st out, then maybe we can hang onto Milano until Hags returns (if ever).  At $750k, he's the least expensive player on the roster (along with Irwin).  Milano was a first round pick in 2014...can't figure how he was not on a squad somewhere.  Not that 1st round really equates to success, but a little young (26) for teams to just totally pass on him.

Mojo - has been far better than expected this year.  Although I liked the pick up when we grabbed him for the cost compared to his value and ability to play anywhere.  I remember a lot of negative on these boards when the Caps picked him up, but he was cheap and a utility guy which we needed at the time.  This year...I think is probably his best in several years.  He already has 9g, 8a this season, and last year had 9g and 20a (in 69g) with WSH/SEA


I think the time to cut the cord on Dylan was about 4 years ago.  He's a very good offensive defensemen who plays a hell of a lot and fills many roles on this team, but for $8m, I'll take Gusty for $800k and pick up two more real Defensemen for $3.5m each and still be ahead.  Or better yet - let Fever and Alexeyev & Gusty fill those roles and keep the $6m in change
I don't know how many teams would want 32 year old Carlson for $8m in today's cap structure.

I hate to think what the Caps will have to include in any trade that has another team taking on Carlsons contract. Caps would be better off just putting him on waivers.

I'd move Mantha 1st. That's nearly 6 mil and Wilson will slide right onto that RW spot.
