Man, sounds bad for Hags.. Not really that fond of his play this year, but never wish possibly career ending injury on anyone. Hope he recovers fully!! And, the glass Caps make a return as soon as Mantha is due back.. These weekly upper body injuries, that last for weeks, are getting stupid. 


Oh and guess what else I found..

What happened to Hags eye?  Was it during the Toronto game?


And Sammy.....Ovi shouted "stop the fucking puck" and wound up a slapper at his head"

Heard it was a stick to the eye in practice today. He had surgery.. Also heard he uses a modified shield that doesn't completely protect his eyes.

I think tonight is one of them "stream only" games? Don't see it listed on the tube.

Capsdotcom says it’s on the usual local channel



Vtec starting, Fucale is the backup, Mantha is a possibility
Hags out indefinitely, Sammy appears to be day to day, not sure about Snively

I want 50 from him this year.  Ovi actually is on pace for exactly 50.11 goals this year.  The way it's gone lately, I expect he will fall short, but as long as he passes Jagr soon (....like maybe a hattie next game) and gets 40 by year's end, that'd be cool.  Not as cool as 50 but...

Hope Hags is ok long-term and that it isn't a career ender or permanent damage.

Is it in their contracts that Hags replacement has to be a long haired Swede? 

[Mickstix]

Look who's scratched again! 


*VV will be in goal.

there are other guys I’d scratch ahead of Sprong, but they make too much money

I keep hearing on twitter how he doesn't play defense.. But he's a +4 on the year and I don't recall him being the cause of many/any GA's, but maybe Im wrong.. But he's definitely fast and has a pretty good shot %.. And they seem to win when he's in the lineup. But whatever. Just win!

I’d be surprised if Hags is back before the playoffs, Snively is out 4-6 weeks…

Oh no.  I hadn't heard what the injury was to Snively.  Sucks for him....as he was producing pretty well.  I really didn't think he would stay with the squad but he was scoring so....


What a drag so early in his career.  Left wrist surgery.  So did he take a hack from someone or collision or what.  I never saw the incident where he was injured.

[alta]

apparently it’s been a problem ever since the big hit he got in Pilly a few games ago

[alta]

the pre game show is an hour long tonight to celebrate OV and Backy’s 1000th game together. Pre game starts at 8, game is at 9 on NBCSW

[Mickstix]

Backy still plays for the Caps? 

[alta]

you should know how hard it is to come back from a hip injury when you get old

 






gotta go shoppin, will do the GDT in a couple hours

[Mickstix]

Ok, you got me. That was funny..  (shut up Rich)
