Caps up 2-0 after one

[Mickstix]

Welcome back PLD! Love the goal with the man up, but god damn our PP sucks.. They should find a new PP coach during the break. They've already tried all the player combo's we have. They have to try something else. They don't even know how to get in the zone 75% of the time.

The radio crew interviewed Sandin during the break. Asked him if it’s getting a little testy out there regarding his hit late, Sandin said he barely touched the guy.

Out of curiosity, are you still gonna scream "O" during the natl anthem after ov retires? Or is there another reason you do it?

[alta]

I’ve never done it. Not fond of the practice.

I do think it was a copy of what Oriole fans were doing in Baltimore, not fond of it there either.

I'm not sure which beat writer in St Louis wrote it but I heard a rumbling of Jordan Kyrou to the Caps with Rasmus Sandin in return


Kyrou is fast and can be a 30 goal scorer  and I eould LOVE sandin on the Blues however I don't want the Caps to lose Sandin nor deal with Kyrou as he "can" be a 30 goal scorer but he just... isn't and at 8.25/yr for the next 5 or 6 yrs ..

25 year old Sandin has three years left under contract at $4.6M per
Kyrou is under contract for 5 more years. I don’t see many teams taking that unless St Louis retains a lot of salary.
