Boggles my mind that they keep wasting games on Phillips.  He is not an NHL player. We waive him, the Pens pick him up and then they waive him.  Let's give some other guys a shot!!!


Yeah, I mean the guy hustles his ass off, but he is not effective.  This is the best option we have in Hershey?  WTF  Miro better be playing before Phillips
Phillips is not big enough to be a 3rd/4th liner so...
FFS - HIT HIM!!!

Im surprised they didn't give him 10 or more. Either way, Caps are fucked with lineups that can't stay consistent. Oshie in and out every other game, now Wilson. Who knows what's wrong with Protas.. Fairly important cogs to be doing w/o all the time.  :sick:

Phillips was sent back to Hershey today. It appears the move was made after the game started.

The Islanders and Flyers lost yesterday, which helps the Caps with the last wildcard spot and possibly 3rd in the metro.

I tried to watch some of the cup race. I found it mildly boring.

Yea, race was pretty bland. F1 tracks aren't really built for nascar. Too much room, not enough sand traps, etc. I was vested since Ty and Christopher were in the mix for most of it.

NIce win.  Ovi stays hot.  Strome still producing which is great.  McMike looking better and better all places on the ice, which is fantastic.  Miro finds ways to produce even with limited ice time.
Now if we could just manage to keep Lindy in the net the rest of the way...
Caps are one win away from 3rd place in the Metro...currently (with 2 games in hand vs Philthy)
Philthy has played some good teams recently, and plays Rags tonight, but 8 of remaining 10 are against non-playoff teams.
Detroit's last ten are 5/10 versus playoff teams so their schedule is tougher than Philly's
Caps have 12 remaining...call it 6/12 vs good teams so about same as Detroit.  I think the Caps can get in.

Fun to watch when they are playing well.  Go Caps

So what do these 3 guys have in common?  They were all #1 draft picks in their respective years.


I was shocked looking at McDavid.  Maybe it's partially the beard, but he looks like a grizzled 30-something already.

Dumb stick by Willy but I don't think he really was trying to hit the guy in the face...you can see from his own reaction it was O shit...
although, when you just isolate it...it sure looks like he winds up and just lets her fly.  I still dont think it was his intent.

Prolly cost him 20 games with the fucking DOPS though.  Any excuse to fuck Willy and the Caps, they will grab it.


You'd think Willy being a home town boy, he'd catch a break in Toronto now and then, but no.


When I saw the replay on this, it looked very very bad.   VERY bad.   I'm AMAZED he only got 6 games.

What I saw was Willy hit him in the face the first time, then glance back and properly whack him in the face a second time.     :-(


This is unacceptble to me.  If somebody had done this to one of our guys, all of us would be up in arms!    :angry:


Tom Wilson wears an "A" on his shirt.   He shouldn't be after this.     :( :'(

Maybe I'd need to see the whole thing a few more times to determine whether or not there was intention but.........






I am

I figured he'd get 10+, but then I saw this video. NHL is a joke when it comes to suspensions and fines.

The NHL and DoPS is a fucking joke. This from Friday’s Carolina game, no call on the ice, not a word the following day from DoPs..
