waynerivers:
I hear Pacioretty already missed practice with an injury. What are the odds on him going down for the season in the first month? I wouldn't want to bet against that. All in all, I'm prepared for a more dreadful season than we've seen around here in quite a long time. Carberry has Ovie, Backstrom and Mantha practicing as the 1st line. God help us.
BlackIce:
Wayne, I think you're reading too much into things. Pacioretty isn't anywhere near coming back yet - he isn't supposed to be ready until well into the first half of the regular season. I don't think it's "uh oh, he missed practice." He isn't ready to practice yet.
As for Ovie/Backstrom/Mantha, read NOTHING into that. The training camp roster is divided into 3 groups. Ovie, Backstrom, and Mantha are in group A. So it might be logical to put them together within the players assigned to their group, but you can't assume it means anything for how Carbery is thinking regarding the season.

Yea, but I can look at the roster and see the age and lack of playmakers and I know what's going to happen. This team is in rebuild mode but are refusing to get on with it in the mistaken notion that having a bunch of washed up veterans somehow helps Ovechkin. It doesn't.

The season hasn't even started yet.
We have seven, ..... yes SEVEN goalies to choose from! That has to be a good thing, right?
