Chychrun and Carlson out, maintenance, or rest, or something

that’s two games in a row for Carlson

I'm ready for the Leonard experiment to end - although they probably promised him he would play in all these games to get him to sign. I like him as a prospect, but he is a prospect, not a sure thing.


We need to ramp it up these last few games and quit screwing around. Carbs will win Coach of the Year, but if we get blown out in the first round, an excellent year will turn into a big disappointment pretty quickly.

Well.. have the Caps feed, but it's Walton again. Starting to worry about JoeB.


So Beags, who ya putting in for Leonard? He looks as good as Frank, Bovi or Mangi to me. Not sure he's a problem.


Be cool to get some decent goaltending heading into the post season.

PP2 didn’t come out until it was almost over. PP2 had Eller, Alexeyev and Roy out. Makes me think it was for their shift after the PP.

Scoring goals is quite the struggle for our group these days. Glad we got a lucky deflection.

Eliminated Isles making us look pedestrian.  :wackysmile:
And Columbus made us look like an AHL team …… that would lose to Hershey.   


And if the Jackets keep their lead over Philly win tonight, they have to hope Carolina beats Montreal tomorrow and then if they beat NYI on Thursday, they get to play us.
