Leonard in for Raddysh and McIlrath in for Roy tonight.

[alta]

There’s a one hour pregame on the t v tonight. At 6:10 they showed tonight’s lines, per usual they are not the same as what’s reported in the skate shavings pregame article.

I’m curious if anyone knows how to categorize Roy tonight. The way I see it, he is technically a scratch as he’s not been put on IR/LTIR.

[Mickstix]

I'd assume "personal reasons" would classify as a healthy scratch?

Morning.   

[Surreylily]

This should be interesting.

[Surreylily]

Not very interesting so far.

Caps up 2-0 after one

I'd assume "personal reasons" would classify as a healthy scratch?

Yea, but every time I’ve seen this the player is listed as out, not scratched.

Evenin Lil.


Lil sloppy to start, then settled in!

OVI!!!!!


Was that Leonard that lit someone up at center ice, after he gave the puck away? 

Yea, but every time I’ve seen this the player is listed as out, not scratched.

I don't think they showed Roy. They showed Leonard in for Raddish and had Rad as a healthy scratch.
