Old timey short track race at Bristol!! Tires wore out, blew out. Had to pace and save. And of course Hamlin spanked em' again! :raspberry:

Well Wings and Isles both lost so that's good for Caps
Caps (73) 1 pt behind Wings (74) for last WC spot. Caps have 2 games in hand vs Wings
Isles tied with Caps with 73 pts, Caps 1 game in hand
A win tonight will move the Caps into the WC spot

McMike & Malenstyn are both RFA. I am sure Caps will sign both....curious what McMike will get. I mean if they gave Protus 3.38m per, McMike might be 4m per yer.
Malenstyn has improved greatly this year...probably more than any other player. Lappy and McMike both have too, but Malenstyn has just grown so much this year. good wheels, drives the net, hustles after the puck, forchecks, great PK guy.

I agree on Malenstyn. He is becoming my favorite player. Hopefully he can convert more of his chances into goals. Apparently he drew some interest at the trade deadline which ought to tell Caps management something. I hope they lock him up on a 5 year deal.
Lappie is also really coming on and you can see his confidence grow by the game. He has some skills and could develop into a 25 goal scorer. He and McMike would be even further along if we didn't have that jackass Laviollete as coach last year. I'm really hoping the Rangers get knocked out in the first round.
Miro is really interesting. I like his effort and he goes to the net. Not sure I see the size yet, but maybe he still grows a little and puts on some muscle - although he seems to be holding his own now.

That was tough to watch. Bristol is absolutely one of my favorite tracks. Apparently NASCAR told Goodyear to build more tire failure into their tires to improve the racing, and put more emphasis on the driver and team to manage things. But yesterday was trash. Tires wore out way too quickly. That pissed me off, but nothing like that turd Hamlin winning. Hamlin is the new [championship-less] Kyle Busch.
On the plus side, MTJ came in second.

Yes i thought when i first heard of him...he was good size, but he appears small on the ice. They have him listed at 6'1", 185lbs. I am sure he will ad a little muscle, but he looked short to me the other night. He does hit though, and does not appear to get pushed around. I wonder what he was standing on when they measured that 6'-1" :snicker:
