Thanks Alta....always appreciated, but rarely said...thanks for thread man
And I was getting ready to look for my sleepy clock emoji :raspberry:
-
Lapierre was sent down to Hershey to make room for Sandin’s return tonight. That’s not who I would’ve sent down but maybe it’s because Lapirre is waiver exempt for such a move.
Bear will be the healthy scratch on D.
-
Carbs is shuffling the wrong deck. Needs to be finding a C to replace Kuz, whether it be via trade or call up. Gotta figure out the scoring, somehow, someway.

I really like Lapierre. I hate to see him lose valuable development time here to an old guy. Hopefully, Pacioretti will light it up and we can trade him at the deadline for a second round pick.
Regarding Bear, I think he has been alright - probably not much of a difference between him and Sundin. I've been surprised with the TVR benching as he seemed to be managements guy.

Carbs "lines" tryin to ruin mantha and wilson tonight. :)

:poop:
:clown: :O=

:wtf:
:poop: :poop:

Quick night for the boys! :)
-
All I read about was how disappointed they were with the effort the other night. :rofl: Wonder how long before Carbs starts taking heat?
-
I’m beginning to think there is a player in the locker room that’s bringing everyone else down, and things won’t get much better until he’s gone.

It won't take many more of these before something changes. Kuzy, Carbs, something.

OOF. I barely sat down and it was 0-2. Game was already over.
I don't fully blame K for either of the first two, but would have liked him to stop the first one...this team NEEDS him to stop that. The second one was just oddball...weird high deflection off Strome blocking the shot and it flips in the air right to a guy standing in the crease who catches it and nearly throws it in the net, barely tapping it on its way in. Very odd. Really looked like it shouldn't be legal.
I think Lindy stops the first one...he's quicker along the bottom of the net for sure. It was a very fortunate bounce and somebody missed coverage of the guy coming in.
The third goal I would also like back, but after the review MOJO does pretty well snipe it and he was pretty damn close - an excellent shot. Still....guy coming down the wing firing a shot unscreened...you need those stops knowing your own team is goal deficient.
We really just not getting excellent play from anyone consistently. Now that the third line scoring has slowed down....we back to MAYBE getting two goals a night. Not gonna win often with this goaltending and goal scoring combination.
Mantha scored...good on him...Oshie gets the tip...good for him. Oshie has certainly looked better since his return, but honestly...prolly only a matter of time till he goes down again for a couple weeks.
Ovi...oof. When do you start resting him just to play someone who MIGHT score? Carbs is trying to limp his way to the all star break so these old fucks can have a week off.

Colorado tonight? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :lol:
This should be good. We made Minnesota, who was 1 game under .500 (before meeting the Caps last night) look like a playoff team. What will the Avs look like against us?
Hey we got a chance...I mean the Avs have allowed 15 more goals than the Caps this year. (lets ignore the fact they have scored 70 more goals than us)
