I suppose Caps got lucky with matching minors on that exchange, Willy dropped the gloves after the whistle, that’s a no no

These low shot games are dull as hail, unless you’re Thompson's agent.😮‍💨

Wouldn't want to play Ottawa in the playoffs. They are fast and they can hit!


For the life of me I can't figure out why Dowd does not take every faceoff in OT?  Not only would he be our best chance to win the faceoff, but he is tenacious as well.  Strome lost this one and Ottawa kept the puck for about 2 minutes and could easily have scored.  I love everything Carbs has done, but he is missing on this one.

I nominate Mick for the reverse-jinx-of-the-year award.  A few days ago he asked about whether the Caps were the only team without a shutout, and Thompson hasn't given up a goal since.

Very entertaining game.  Ottawa really looks quick.  I think they could be an up and coming team with a few more tweaks.  Good to see Ovie break his drought with the game winner.


Season MVP so far has to be Logan Thompson.  He's been stellar.

very well played 3rd period.  should have played like that the whole game.
Thompson kept us in it...dude makes $767k a year and is in prob top 5 goalies this year.
Thompsons entry level contract paid him more ($800k/yr) than the 3-year deal he signed after the ELC :huh:
He was made the all star team in 2023 and had solid numbers in 2023-24.
I can't figure out why Vegas let him go, and for pretty cheap - (3rd round picks in 24, 25).  I guess they weren't gonna sign him and wanted something for him, but damn.
Caps have to sign him next year.  Hope they do.  I think he certainly has more upside than Lindy.

Salary cap is suddenly gonna be an issue again when they need to sign Thompson, Lindy, Chicklets, Dowd, Raddysh, Eller, Mangipane.
at 5.8 mil, you let Mangi walk.  He works and he's got scoring talent, but he's not worth 5mil
Chicklets is gonna get north of 6 mil i would think....and will get more in FA...hope he really likes the fit here and wants to stay.  Successful playoff run might help that.
Dowd and Raddy you can get for less than 2m each.  Eller maybe 2.5 (he is 35 years old)
Vrana is the only other UFA, and sure looks like they let him walk.

Protus at 3.375 for the next 5 years of his young prime life looks like a freaking steal now....i thought it crazy when they gave him that.
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK
