Sucks for Dowd. Hammy is tough. Not like the Caps needed any more injuries, but better now than end of May. Losing Vitek is going hurt bad. Hope it's just a minor maintenance issue and not a real injury.
Caps have a brutal schedule the next 10 games...8/10 games are against at the very least - solid teams, and 7/10 are on the road. Play the Panthers twice and Carolina once to end November for the last 3 of this 10 game stretch.
Really need to beat Columbus and Shitsburgh the next two cause after that...it get tough (except for maybe Montreal and Seattle)
Go Caps
