It’s after 5pm. I’m pretty sure that’s the deadline to move players. No word yet on anyone being sent to Hershey.
:(
I thought I knew how count. No need to move anyone yet with Dowd, Fever and Oshie on IR.

It probably paid 50:1 in Vegas

Carlson shocks the world! lol
It's really a bummer Locker and JoeB can't shut up for 10 seconds while they play the goal scorers song, or announce the goal. I love them, but they never shut up.
-
Well who'd have thunk it?!
I can safely say I wasn't expecting that after that horrible first period.
Let's hope we keep it going in the third. :cross:

Did not see that coming after coming out flat as a pancake. Ovi gets one as well!! Interesting circumstances coming up. Really hope they don't get stupid. Even not selling is better than buying. Just don't give away any assets and I'll be content.

But here's where things can get complicated, Mick. Carbery apparently reamed the team out up one side and down the other after their performance against Detroit. He is obviously playing this straight, thinking that this team can still make the playoffs. And for almost 20 years this franchise has been "playing it straight" as a nod to Ovechkin, fulfilling Leonsis' promise to Ovie that he'd try to make the team as competitive as possible while he was around. This has led to some questionable acquisitions and spending of assets over the years, albeit in a good-faith attempt to give the team what management thought was every reasonable chance for success.
Here we are, seeing the need for a rebuild in the very near future and cringing at the thought of giving up assets once again over the next week. But this team COULD see things differently, thinking that they need to make a good faith administrative effort to get into the playoffs, which are increasingly seen as a crapshoot independent of the regular season. The one thing I see that may get in the way of doing that is that the Caps need scoring above anything else, and there isn't a lot of that available among the players rumored to be moving next week.
-
Well, whatever they do it's not going to help them in the long run. We're pretty much assuring ourselves of NOT picking in the top 10, again. I'll be fine if they don't sell, just don't burn assets on a STILL very long shot to make the post season.
I wonder what Mantha's price will be for a new contract? Is there a better RW available? Hate that he only showed up in a contract year, but I guess it's possible Carbery has sparked him and it'll continue? Glad I don't have to make these decisions. I just get to criticize them when they go wrong. :snicker:
* And now Kuzy has been cleared to return to practice. Good for him! Not sure how good it is for the Caps though.
