The dedicated boredom thread for bored boardees... even Rich

[alta]

the Caps practiced tues and this morning(Thursday), had Wednesday off, OV sat out both practices. Tues it was called normal maintenance, today it was called precautionary “upper body”

[alta]

OV was a full participant this morning(Friday), appears good to go for tomorrow on the island


Hags and Orlov will not play, still on covid

[alta]

The Rags beat Pilly last night, moved them to 1st, Caps still in 3rd.




bad thunderstorms just south of Mick, doesn’t look like a fishing day down there

[Mickstix]

Yep, windy rain and cold comin through the Sunshine State. 

[alta]

around here it’s warmed up 5* since dawn, it’s now 20*.


wasn’t hammerjacks the place that let you bring your own beverages in years ago?

[Mickstix]

Freezing here.. Supposed to get down to into the 40's tomorrow night! 


I never knew Hammerjacks to let ya byob. Though I was never there for a regular/locals night. It was a haul from NOVA so the only times I went were to see national acts that were on the verge of making it or not yet able to sell/play arenas. They needed to make all the money they could to pay the bands. Shiley Acres now, you could bring a cooler in! Ohh the times at Shiley...   

(Seems like about once a year I'll say something about Hammerjacks and you'll ask if you could byob..)

I swear there was a place up there that was BYOB. Could’ve been hammerjacks on a locals night, but don’t remember. Those days tend to be fuzzy. I never made it to Shiley back in the day. They are, or were still in business pre covid, but BYOB there ended years ago.






and there was zero Caps news yesterday

[Mickstix]

I heard Shiley closed down.. That was a great party venue. Nice sloping field down to the stage. Great sound system. Fun place! Also a long drive home while hammered.. lol But back in the day (listen here sonny! ) ya did what ya had ta did!!

Heard part of a Lavi interview and a stat was thrown out that 73% of the league has had Covid.  The interview was NOT about this, but he also mentioned most guys aren't that sick and seem to pop back quickly.
Basically the comment was regarding the fact that most of the league has had it so rosters and remaining schedules should be less affected moving forward.

Heard that the NHLPA is going to do away with testing a-symptomatic players and staff, after the break.  Probably won't hear much about Covid after that. Least not postponements and shit.

DoPS is a fucking joke…

[Mickstix]

Good sign I suppose.

TJ Oshie is on the ice. Practice starts at 12 so we'll see if he's on for practice or some individual work beforehand

NEWS: Sources tell @DailyFaceoff that #NHL will no longer test asymptomatic players and staff following the All-Star break, provided Covid-19 rates continue to decline around the league.

Testing will only then be for cross-border travel (as required) and if symptoms arise.

what a fucking joke

Yeah.  What he said.  Orlov was leaning to try and put a shoulder in him.  He didn't throw the knee out or even change direction.  How was this intentional?
I have no problem with DOPS suspending a player for a bad hit or trying to injure but.....
DOPS is a fucking joke as usual.  The players must be as dumbstruck as we are.  Nobody has a clue as to how to behave because the DOPS is so inconsistent.

OV needs 10 goals to pass jagr for 3rd on the all time goal list, and at about 500 fewer games

[alta]

Oshie is off IR but still day to day, sounds like Jensen will be put on IR…
