Mickstix:
Protas is entirely too big to play as soft as he does
Could be a beast

Mickstix:
Nice!! Saturday at 10. Monumental 2 :P
Last 20 games, need 11-8-1 to have a chance. Currently 1-2-0 W1
BlackIce:
And for those who may have questioned why Kuemper started the previous game against Edmonton, there's why. Carbery threw him to the wolves, knowing it was very unlikely that the Caps could win that game anyway. Save your better goalie for the game you have a decent chance of winning.
If the Caps could somehow split the last two and come out of this trip 2-3, it wouldn't be a disaster for their playoff chances. But who really thinks that this team belongs in the playoffs, anyway? They are obviously not competitive against the better teams in the league, but they play with heart and are hanging in there by squeaking by against the teams they have a chance to beat. That's why their record is as good as it is while their goal differential is bad.
[size=78%]Carbery looks very much like a results coach - their place in the standings is higher than their capabilities would suggest. If Carbery can strategize and/or will THIS team to the playoffs he deserves at least perfunctory consideration for coach of the year. But it would not be the best thing for this franchise over the longer term, [/size]because[size=78%] it won't help the team get the high-end talent they are going to need to compete over the next several years. Honestly, at this point it would be better for them to fall apart at the seams for the rest of the regular season.[/size][size=78%]
Why the last paragraph got goofy formatting I haven't a clue.[/size]

I didn't see one minute of it, but I'll take the win. I guess...although losing would prolly be better in the long run
