The ‘24-‘25 boredom thread..
« on: Thursday September 19, 2024, 02:18:49 PM Eastern »
Training camp started today, so, new season new thread. I don’t make the rules.
 :-|


Management has said Oshie and Backstrom will be on LTIR all season, which gives the team a little breathing room in cap space. According to the crappy cap sites still available for free, the Caps are $10.27M over the cap. Backy and Oshie being on LTIR will save $14.95M. Which should give the Caps $4.68M of cap space. That will be nice when the inevitable injury happens.


Ovechkin apparently has a minor injury, but is skating with the team. Rasmus Sandin is still in Sweden.. visa issues.

“So....who is left that was on Stanley Cup winning team?I can only think of Ovi, Willy, Carlson.  Is that it?“

Technically .. Oshie and Backstrom as well

Technically Vrana is not on the team roster. He’s in camp on PTO.

According to Caps.com, which has a bad habit of being less than accurate in this regard, the game is on Monumental tomorrow, and Caps Radio.

I missed the first hour, the rest was rather boring. It reminded me of when they had the wrong tire at Darlington and could go 100 laps on a set.

maybe the last one or two, it’s usually not worth it for these early games because the personnel change so much.

Not for nothin', but the Redskins have now gone 2 full games, scoring on every "competitive" possession.. Defense still sucks, so it was close, but they just smoked the Bengals on MNF, on the road, 38-33  :huh: :hearts: 


It appears as if Jayden Daniels is him.. Just had the best rookie passing % night in NFL history. 2 TD's, 1 rushing TD, like 93% completions, no turnovers.. Leads the league in QB rushing TD's.  8-0
