GDT #77 Caps vs Rangers @ 1pm

If Philthy would wake up, they could actually catch the Caps. Caps sure look like they've thrown it in.
Glad to see Strome score. Caps have a lot riding on him in coming years (especially if they move Kuzy)
And Protas...he works pretty hard and he's only 22. Fuck it; move Kuzy and give Protas 3C, let him play.
I really don't see next year being any different. And if the Caps are really in rebuild mode...SHOULDN'T they move Kuzy (and Mantha of course)
I have liked Fever from day one, and Alexeyev too. I'd definitely try and keep both and play them next year. THe D core is pretty well set IMO. Irwin can be your 7th D at a bargain basement price if you need him.
Oshie... Oof. I think this is pretty much the future with him...maybe good for 50% of the games from here on.
BlackIce:
I believe, with Florida's just-completed regulation victory over Buffalo, that the Caps have been mathematically eliminated from playoff contention. There are now 8 teams in the conference with 87 or more standings points and 38 or more regulation/overtime wins. If the Caps were to win their 5 remaining games in regulation or overtime they could accumulate 87 standings points, but only 37 regulation/overtime wins, which is the first pertinent tiebreaker.
Now it's just a matter of where they finish in the standings.
