McIlrath was sent back to Hershey. Kuzy is not playing tonight, illness.
Shepherd is also officially back in Hershey. I never saw an announcement about it.

I saw yesterday they sent Shep back.

I saw yesterday they sent Hāman-Aktell back, never saw anything about Shep.

Evenin Lil
For the 1st, Columbus was %100 at the PP faceoff, but overall the Caps have won %57
-
Sounds right.
Decent period otherwise. Fairly close game. Ovi's had 2 good chances, 1 post.
Oshie.. Bro, it's time to produce something good here. :cross:
Oh yea, evenin' Lil. :hearts: :raspberry:

Jeebus.. Man up and one of them w/o a stick. We stay spread out against the walls. :rofl:

Good second. ;D
-
Caps faceoff is down to %55 for the game
-
It should be interference. Especially considering some of the crap the Caps have had to put up with.
-
That fuckers in the paint!! No sir-ree bob! Can't do that shit! :raised-eyebrow:

They can be in the paint, that rule changed years ago. You can’t hold the goalie down.
-
That is fucking bullshit.
-
lol BULL FUCKING SHIT!!!!

:bs:

After the shit they've called back on us, that's complete, utter bullshit..

Damn, 3 goals and 8 points outta our 3rd line. :hearts:
-
no call on that very deliberate high stick on Oshie leads to a goal by CBus
>:(
-
I’d love for someone to try and convince me the nhl doesn’t hate the Caps
-
Caps win :)
despite the nhl
-
There ya go!! Fuck off refs, CBus and the rest of Ohio.. :raspberry: :snicker:
-
A nail biter, but a win
-
that was worth rousing myself for. :clap:
-
Caps finish the game with a %51 faceoff win
-
Sweet dreams all
:yawn:

Sheesh. Caps made a game out of what should’ve been a rout.
About halfway thru I was thinking the Caps looked fast. Too bad we can’t play cbus every night
Also was thinking about half way thru Ovie and Oshie both looked much better tonight. Even Mantha looked better.
Then of course we have the youngins scoring ….8 points from Lepew, Lurch and Cookie line
Nice to see Ovie score
And Malenstyn has earned a permanent spot on the roster in my book
Oh and WTF NHL? That was goal tender interference. I personally don’t think it really affected the play but that Modo spun the goalie around and then held him down in the crease. He absolutely interfered with him. HTF do you review that and not see it.
I really wish a coach would come out in public and speak the truth and demand some answers from the league. This is total BS
The holding on TVR was a joke too. I expect refs are going to miss calls but damn these were/could have been game changers
-
If they'd just get rid of Oshie and Mantha and bring two more young guys up, this team might stay interesting. I would also keep McIlrath on the roster. You need a nasty type back there. We have too few.

Oshie has fewer points than all of our d-men. 1 assist in 15 games isn't something you can tolerate much longer. He's got to start being a healthy scratch.
-
Yes, Oshie looks horrible the first... month of the season. He looks a bit better last couple games; not lost or behind, but he's definitely not producing.
But when you have young guys scratched who are actually having an impact and scoring, it is detrimental to winning to have a guy (Oshie) who just isn't producing in the lineup.
Ovie really looked like he was nursing something or finally lost a couple more steps, but in the last week he has certainly looked more like Ovi; hitting people and actually having an impact. He's always had some coast in his game, and I think will have more this year conserving his energy, but actually saw him hustling to back check last couple games.
I'd be surprised if they sat a guy like Oshie...(or Ovie). I mean I'd planned to give them some rest days and such...the whole Geritol team will need it this season, but Oshie is beyond just needing rest..
And....Oshie having less points than our Dmen is saying something...I heard them say they last game Caps have 1 goal from all of the blue line. That's horrendous in itself.
-
Oshie's like 2022 Mantha light, w/o the skating ability. :-\ And he's on the books for this year and next.

Yeah, but he can make neat trick plays with his stick that drives the social media volume :O=

You're right, I forgot he had that 2 "stick-trick" night, not too long ago! :wackysmile:
-
I watched the Cbus "non-interference" replays again. Total BS. The columbus player hit the goalie, spins him around knocking him down, then stands in the crease and intentionally cross-checks him holding him down while the puck goes in the net. They could have called a penalty for GT interference regardless of the goal. Total and utter horseshit call.
All I can say is it sure will be great come playoff time when the Caps get there due with all the BS video challenges this year. :uh-huh:
