Caps now trail Boston by 9 pts for WC spot 1.
Also trail Shittsburgh by 8 points for 3rd in the Metro  (Caps with 2 games in hand)


FLA has been on fire and now 6pts ahead of Canes


Looks like we coasting into the playoffs in the last WC spot as expected.


Not that it is going to matter.

Sheary not practicing today. (Team says non covid) Hathy was back.

Rags shutout the Hens yesterday, Hens have lost 4 in a row and will want to correct that trend tomorrow against the Caps

as long as none of these guys went to the gridiron dinner the other night they should be fine..

with the 3pm start I don’t expect a morning skate, same for the 1:30 start on Sunday, and, for some odd reason when the games are national the locals guys can’t do a pregame show

when the Hens are losing they don’t play well, from the Hens Rags game…










if the Caps can strike early today I think they will do well at the end

takes a lot of balls to punch a guy that’s not wearing a helmet when you are too much of a lady part to take off your own….






holy crap   , I agree with him about something…




 

[Mickstix]

He was in the process of taking it off, but ol' boy couldn't wait and kept grabbing at it and pushing him. Got the combo w/fries for his trouble..

Nashville vs Hens is on now, here’s hoping Nashville wins








Hens won in OT, still 4 points ahead of the Caps, but Caps still have 2 games in hand. I don’t think it matters much if the Caps finish 3rd vs getting a wildcard spot, but it would be nice to finish in front of the Hens.

[Mickstix]

No reason for Cmac to be scratched.. But here we are.    Looks like Orly might be out as well.. Was said it looks to be Sammy in goal.

How does Shitssburgh not get an extra minor.  Matheson got nothing?  WTF?

Malkin did get a four game vacation for a stick to the face against Nashville though..

the Hens lost to the Islanders in a shootout tonight, so the Caps only gained one point on the Hens, but still have two games in hand

Trotz seems a tad frustrated in NY..

Pilly had a back to back Tuesday/Wednesday. After getting spanked by the Caps on tues, Pilly got shutout 4-0 by the Rags on wed. Though times in Pilly.
