Crazy we've given up 30 shots on goal through 2 periods. I don't consider our D guys "bad", but the way we give up shots and multi goal leads, something needs addressed in the offseason.


2 goal lead into the 3rd.. Still have little confidence we'll keep it.  :raspberry:

That was an all rookie goal. Leonard from Hutson and Sourdif.

Nice win! Hope they saved a couple for tomorrow!!


Leonard on the ice with Strome for his goal. Was it a line change or was coach letting him play?

I would guess a line change. There was no reason to mess with the lines this game.

Most likely..


4-1 they (Alexa, Alan, Brent, Joe and Craig) think LT plays tomorrow. I'd go with Chuck.

Could be an effort to limit Ovie's ice time, with back-to-backs.


I guess Hutson is now in charge of PP1.  He has 6 points in 8 games, with 4 of them on the PP.  That's why he's here and playing, i guess.


That picture of him and Protas on the 2 on 1 - It's like a house and garage.


Mick, I think the answer to why certain guys aren't playing is that Carbery is not playing this like the season's over.  I think he will go with whomever he thinks is best for the Caps to play in order to make the playoffs, until they are mathematically eliminated.  You might disagree with his choices, but I think that's his motivation.

It probably is. My question is, if they thought we had the guys needed already, why burn 2 draft picks.


McMike and Sourdif need to find a faceoff wizard in the offseason. We don't have anyone who can win a faceoff and play defense. Was hoping Kempf was the guy, but.. Who knows.. I've seen Wilson and Beauvi taking (primary) D draws on the PK lately. lol

If the Caps had won the game vs Devils, they would now be in sole possession  of WC spot 2
and tied in pts for 3rd in Metro

Mick, I don't understand that either.  Kempf's record says he is a reasonably good face-off guy, but that doesn't seem to be able to get him into the lineup.  I think his arrival has lit a fire, at least relatively speaking, under LaPierre.  Could it possibly be that the Caps burned two draft picks to get Sandin and LaPierre rejuvenated?

You could say about the other 28 games they lost this season. Just having a couple of those go to OT would have been the difference.

I think they were just covering their bases. If the result is better play fro Lappy then great, but I doubt that was the reason for grabbing them.
However, I agree, let’s get them in and playing to see what we have. Wasting a 4th line spot with Miro is a waste of time and so is playing TVR. If Liljegren is not good enough to play in place of TVR then why did we grab him.
