I still don't understand why they scratched Siegenthaler.


Let's GO CAPS!

Let's GO CAPS!

right now I’ve got conflicting info, one source says the Caps are going to dress 7 Dmen tonight.
If that’s the case he will dress

I still don't understand why they scratched Siegenthaler.


Let's GO CAPS!

I never understand it.  When he plays, they usually play him decent minutes and he's always one of the PK guys (which is pretty much where he earned his "permanent" spot on the roster last year.
I wonder if there is some other issue with him like he doesn't listen well or something.  It doesn't appear so, but I'd start him over Jensen.  Not really the same skillset as Jensen - as he is more of a puck mover and Ziggy is more D type defensemen so maybe he doesn't fit Lavi's system as well?

Oh yeah and...




 


Whoop! There it is!


The Thread is here...the thread is here.

Thanks Alta

With Sammy out Copley was the 3rd goalie. Copley was sent to Hershey today, which tells me Sammy should be out of covid detention

if I had to guess... on a boat getting wasted 

[alta]

Siegs just had a shift, so it is 7 D

[richkrt99]

where was the penalty on Dowd?


And....does Locker ever argue a penalty call anymore?  Have they been neutered when it comes to speaking honestly on BS calls?

"holding", those are ticky tacky

Yep and they should know by now they'll still get called for it every time.. Dumb penalty.

WTF. I pay good money for Center Ice yet am stuck with the Rags announcers because NHL network. They never seem to pick the Caps feed for National broadcast. Ugh.

I have Center Ice via DirectTV. I watch all but the NBCSN games on the DC channel #642.

[Mickstix]

Doesn't seem to matter who we play, we're in the wrong end of the ice way too much.

Alta's granddaughter Alexa is growing on me.  Got that cute slightly freckled look.
Off the shoulder works for me too.
