Apparently, it makes sense to those making the decision to broadcast on the radio the sport that has just started it’s season rather than the sport that is ending it’s season and still contesting who will be in the playoffs. Bunch of ignorant jackoffs.
-
probably shouldn't listen to this one anyway... :-|
-
I thought teams couldn’t carry more than 23 players until the playoffs. Am I missing something? Oshie is not on the IR list, which puts the Caps at 25 players.

Last 20 games, need 11-8-1 to have a chance. Currently 6-7-1 L5
You don't make the playoffs going 0 fer 5 down the stretch.. Is what it is. Go Ovi.

You're right, Mick. It is what it is.
To use a horse racing analogy, this season feels like a stakes race where a horse of lesser pedigree runs, for him, a great race and the jockey actually works him into contention as they round the last turn and head into the stretch. Then that horse, having given what he can, fades down the stretch as a top-rated thoroughbred takes the win. He ends up back in the pack, his final finish depending on the finish of other lesser horses in the race.
The Caps were just hanging on last night against a better team after getting the early lead, when "the breaks" at the end of the game did them in. This game sort of felt like a microcosm of the whole season. It's hard to envision how they make the playoffs now; if not, best outcome is a total collapse, results-wise at least (say, no more than one additional win out of the last 6). That still has the possibility to knock them down a few positions in the standings/up a few positions in the draft.

Nice to see Ovie scoring even thought the rest of the crew is ready for golf.
