Lappi and BigMac in over Kampf and Lilj? I guess we're not sure what we have in them? It's supposed to be a business, not some sentimental exhibit bullshit. Carbery makes some of the dumbest decisions I've ever seen..
I suspect Mac is playing tonight as a thank you for his faithfulness in being with the team all season, practicing, etc., and getting in only a handful of games.
Maybe the last game provided all the info the team needs on Liljegren. LaPierre over Kampf, though, i agree - Kampf ought to get this one last shot. He IS as much like Dowd as anyone could be - but maybe the team sees the handwriting on the wall. Next year's centers are going to be Strome, DuBois, IProtas, and Sourdif, and neither LaPierre nor Kampf has much of a place except as an extra piece. So maybe the Caps have already made up their minds about what is going to happen with these two over the summer, and it doesn't matter who plays.
I wonder if IProtas and Hutson go down to Hershey after tonight to get some more games in and give Hershey a shot in the arm to try to make the playoffs and then get some Calder Cup playoff experience in. This organization seems to think that playoff experience at whatever level in the pros is worthwhile for development.
