Maybe the media got it wrong (as usual) and what was actually said was they were being laid often?

Why no Vanecek? I know Holbty isn't to blame, but get the kid some reps..

I was wondering the same.  I would have started him in the third.  Caps had no life, and game is meaningless and already lost IMO.  Maybe would've sparked the boys or at least given them something to care about.
Even if it's just for some Holtby rest.  But then I guess Holtby won't really need any playoff rest (since there will only be 4 Caps playoff games)

Rob Carlin did not get his contract renewed, but he will continue working through the end of the current Caps season.

Ok, but not what I'd call being laid off

From the article I read, Carlin had a choice to go home or continue reporting till October.  He chose to continue.

he must like his bosses, not sure I could do the same

..... and in other news, Pittsburgh goes down meekly to Montreal.  Edmonton does the same to the Blackhawks.


All indications are that perhaps the 3 biggest names in the game - Ovechkin, Crosby, McDavid - are gone or will be shortly.  I suspect none of these guys really care, nor do the teams around them.  These guys realize that this entire mess is nonsense and will probably be forgotten about 10 minutes after the season ends.  There aren't enough asterisks in the world to qualify what the result of this "postseason" will be.

Agreed.  Even if I had my dream job (say it was broadcasting and it definitely is NOT), I'm not sure I would have the heart to stick it out for a couple months - especially if it were smiling in front of a camera.  I mean my heart just would not be in it so...I don't think it would be worth doing.
Meh - maybe he's just fucking bored of being locked down at home in this "pandemic" - I sure as hell would be.
