- Kempny is BaaaAAck!!!! 

- Panik placed on LTIR for at least 10 weeks.

- Siegenthaler is game time decision.

- Fehervary and Boyd called up.

[alta]

that’s one way to fix the payroll for Kempny, and Max dropped the opening puck...

Hard to believe the schedules. This is Rangers Game 5, Caps Game 9, and Rags played last night.  Weird shit!  I recall the Rags had a week off last week.

[ArJunaZ]

LOL, Max Scherzer drops a baseball instead of a puck on the ice!
 

[richkrt99]

WTF happened to PANIK?

[ArJunaZ]

WTF happened to PANIK?

He collided with Lewington in the dying moments of the 2nd period last game. It looked like Lewington got the worst of it, but it's the other way around.  Got to be concussion or shoulder I would think.

[richkrt99]

Yeah, I saw the hit, but did you wouldn't go 10 games/24 days for a concussion.  Did he separate a shoulder or something?

[ArJunaZ]

Caps only said "upper body" for both guys.

[alta]

I like the penalty call on lemeux

[ArJunaZ]

I'm really happy with Gudas' team play, skill, and fight!

but what does baseball have to do with hockey 

[ArJunaZ]

I can't understand how Oshie's PPG was unassisted. Backy passed the puck to him. although it took Oshie three swiped to get it through.  Unusual to see an unassisted goal on a PP.

Both winning teams in Washington!

because it hit an opposing player before Oshie played it

[ArJunaZ]

I know we bash on Reirden, but IMO he and his team have added a wonderful swarming ability to the Caps as well as getting them in tight and playing for "dirty" goals.  I think it's a big improvement that Trotz never seemed to be able to pull off. It helps that our new guys are fast and battle hard. Overall I am seeing incredibly good positioning by each and every player and they make these decisions at blinding speed.

So props too Reirden and company.

[alta]

that’s nice, you give the coach props and the other team scores 

[ArJunaZ]

Kuz-Not-Shot!  WTF!

[ArJunaZ]

 

[ArJunaZ]

that’s nice, you give the coach props and the other team scores 

And with those skills I mentioned we get another gritty goal.
 

Sometimes, like on that Rags goal, you just have to give props to them for a great play.
