The ‘23-‘24 boredom thread.. no square poop allowed

from one extreme to the other.. Sunday at 3pm then Sunday at 8pm. I swear, the nhl scheduling team is just a bunch of monkeys throwing darts at a calendar.

Well that aint good. And no word on Iorio, though I read somewhere that he was yelling "it popped, it popped" as he went by the bench..

I don’t see any notifications of a call up from Hershey. They do have a spare Dman in Johansen should they need one. Hell of a time to throw him in the lineup though.

It appears they may be making preparations for a call up..

So Ovi just looks gassed.  A long season and all those games at the end did him no favors. For that matter, I think the whole team was exhausted at the end and could have used a few days off.  Three days in between now would help a lot.

The inexperience on the blue line is so evident vs a team like the Rags

So they get three days rest which hopefully will get Ovi what he needs to get going.


I still hope they bring in Sgarabosa.  Ideally he would replace Pacioretti who has been a waste of a jersey.  Apparently he refused a trade at the deadline which ticks me off and should be reason enough for them to sit him - however, the rest of the league would consider that a slap in the face to a renowned veteran - so they won't do it.


If they don't sit Pacioretti, I would it Protas and send him a message.  He has just done nothing the last 30 games and when he does get a chance at scoring he has hands of stone.  They need to light a fire under him.


I hate to say it, but they also should sit Oshie.  He has made a bunch of bad decisions and turnovers and I'm afraid he is just done. Love his heart, but his legs and body can't do it on a consistent basis.

They should sit Ovi, Oshie and Pacioretty, tbh. None of em are doing anything worthy of getting a sweater, plus Ovi's goals don't count in the playoffs, if he ever does get one.. But they'll burn em' completely out and hope for the best Im sure. 


Should have called up Frank and Crystall and whoever else would like to get a few minutes of playoff hockey on their resume. Ryan Leonard wanting to do another year in peewee is also a disappointment. He'll probably break a knee or something and we'll never see him. Caps Hockey! lol

Right. Nothing to see here. Just be glad Tom Wilson didn’t make that hit, he’d be out 10 games.
