Oshie didn’t practice this morning but is expected to play. If Oshie plays the lines will be the same as last game, Lindy in net.

Games on TNT. Late start. No pre-post game. AND it's Pride Night! :wackysmile: Can hardly wait. :raspberry:

Dan O'Rourke has been taken over by aliens. It's the only logical explanation. :snicker:

Not their night for sure. Couple of those early ones were 4 Leaf clovers. Couple Ovi goals sooth the pain. See what they got Friday. Finally back to 7pm start!
Last 20 games, need 11-8-1 to have a chance. Currently 3-3-0 L1
-
Not surprised at this. Toronto just has a lot of juice.
Not Lindy's best game - at least a couple Lindy wants back for sure but you cant allow 7.
Good for Ovi 2 more notches
Philthy and Wings both won, we out of playoffs again.
Buffalo and Isles lost so that's good. Shittsburgh lost...always good
Not sure the Canes are who we want next - they very stingy on goals allowed. After last night the Caps prolly start K in net so....we gonna need to score at least 3

Carolina is another tough game in the gauntlet that is the Caps' end of season schedule. But there is one advantage to playing them right now. Carolina played an OT game last night and then had to travel to DC. We have now had a few days at home and didn't play yesterday. This is the reverse of the situation I pointed out awhile back. Carolina is a better team than we are - but if there is a time to try to get them, tonight may be the night.
