Even Mick and Rich are careless and know the game is so inconsequential that neither of them ragged about when the tread was posted :snicker:

I saw that and wondered how they will suit up enough bodies to man a team. I guess if you move everyone off the taxi and bring up a bunch of AHL guys...
Too bad the Caps can't do the same. All these (hopefully) minor injuries being nursed could use an extra couple days off. I think playing Ovi is silly unless they just want to get him some real game ice time. Not like he's playing for any type of record or points or goals or anything.
Sure hope Vitek gets his game on. He had a streak earlier in the year where he was really good. Lately he's been fine, but not....really good. Not sure what's happening with Sammy at this point. Someone posted a couple games ago Caps need a new goalie coach and I think I agree. Vitek has the skills, but most of what's wrong with his game is fundamentals I think. Like when he gets to low and leaves the top 6" of net open - or when he's completely out of position way to often. Those things could be fixed.
-
BTW - Dillon, Dowd, Hathy, Hags are the only 4 Caps who have played all 55 games so far this season. I would expect to see all four of them tonight. That's good on Hags - hasn't he had injury problems in the past? He's not exactly a big physical guy. (Now If only he could score on a breakaway)
Boston - only Ritchie has played 55 games this year.
I looked at several teams and 2-4 seems about average
-
Our roster/scratch list should look like the Bruins, but nah, we're dumb! :)

Nah, we're so tight up against the salary cap that we can't bring in a host of players, even for one day.
-
We got like 9 million in cap space with Kuzy and Sammy on the Covid list?
-
I said earlier Ovie has no reason to play stats- wise, but actually with one goal he would tie Marcel Dionne for 5th place with 731 goals.
And it would be Ovie's 25th of the season....If anyone cares about the 25 goal mark.
-

Covid players count against the cap hit. Which is stupid. But otherwise teams (like Caps) would be loading up on players with "Covid protocols" just to reduce their inflated caps.
The Covid players do not count as against (or part of) the 23 man roster, but they do count against the Cap hit.
If they actually moved them to Taxi squad they don't count as cap hit but I doubt you can move a covid protocol player to the taxi squad
So basically it does come down to the fact that the Capitals have ZERO cap space. Like less than zero. Otherwise they could bring up some guys from AHL.

:huh: You tellin me there's mis-info out there on the interwebs? :raised-eyebrow: :snicker:
-
well that doesn't make sense, obviously having a player on the wuhan list clears cap space or the Caps couldn't have brought in one player much less two

Don't ya'll force me off the wagon this damn early! :raspberry:
.. too late. :uh-huh: :P

that's not really accurate, everyone Boston has on the ice tonight has played quite a bit this year because of all the injuries the Bruins have had. Even thier goalie Swayman had a win against the Caps earlier this year.

Saw that. Lavi too.

Bruins must be at home watching this Caps team and thinkin', damn, those guys are good! :rofl:

Seriously though, when do we pull the goalie? Have zero reasons to go to overtime..

So you think we should give up the game winning goal on an empty netter?

Yay!! McNuggets for the win!! :wackysmile:

Well that's waiting to the last moment in the season for your 1st goal as a Cap. :)
This is his 1st right?
-

:yawn:
-

O-O :wow:

He released that from below the goal line...HTF did that go?

yes, 1st as a Cap
-
aaaanndd

-

I think the goalie turned his head away from the puck and it bounced off the back of his mask.
-
Least our big boys were able to solve the Providence Bruins! Haglin and Rafl.. :raspberry: :snicker:
OK, I'll catch you Sally's on Saturday!! :hearts:

You can go get your mcnuggets

Ovi looked good. Bodes well for the postseason.
-
That had to hit the goalie in the head? He shot it from about 10" below the goal line....had to hit something in order to go in the net. Nothing there but the goalie to hit.
Yup....go back an watch it frame by frame. He shoots it from about 10" below the goal line and it is head toward the goalie's head and then it turns and goes in the net. I thought the goalie was ducking it the first couple times, but it hits him behind the right ear and then angles into the other corner of the net.

Bruins are a tough matchup.

It did hit him in the head.

Agree. Ovie looked better than has in some while.

Sweet dreams all. :yawn:
-
round 1 game 1 is Saturday at 7pm, the NBCSW channel says they have the standard 1 hour pregame. Before Walton signed off he said they'd be on air at 4pm. I hope he misspoke. 1 hour pregame is too much.
