Mickstix:
Im surprised Oshie has played in over 50% of the games this year. Wonder what the team/management thinks of part time players? Do they think playing half the games in 5 game spurts outweighs the disruption to the lineup all the time? I dunno. He doesn't add much outside of cheerleading anymore. I hope he retires or at least "steps away from the game" so he can still get paid, but we can look for his replacement. Somehow we need a superstar forward and it's not going to be coming via draft. Maybe there's a FA or trade to be made this offseason..

I think a couple of big FA signings will do us good.  TJ'S contract expires after next year so I suspect it will be his last year

I expect there will be several FA's out there this summer when 15/16 teams fail in the playoffs this year

richkrt99:
Stromer leads the team in Goals, Points and GWG.  He's having a nice season despite the rest of the group.
Career high in goals this year and needs 3 more points to match his career high in total points (last year)

Funny looking at the stats...TJ Oshie is 2nd on the team with 42 PIMs...what a goon.  Willy leads of course with 120.  Surprisingly, Ovie only has 20 Pims all season...that's got to be a record low for him.  What a team of ruffians we have.

Milano leads team in +/- with +5.  Only 5 players are in the plus.  You know something's amiss when you +/- leaders are the guys who play the least
Milano +5
NAK +4
Sgarossa +2
Lappy +1
Iorio +1

Iorio is the only Dman even close to a + number (and yes, he's only played one game).  I thought he played well the other night.  If Caps don't bring in some real D in the offseason, I'd bring Iorio up and ship one of the old guys off.


alta:
Rags vs Devils tonight, 130 penalty minutes on the opening faceoff. 166 total in the game. Devils lose in regulation.
