Lines should be interesting tonight.
I'm figuring we see Miro on the ice tonight.
-
lines based on this mornings skate, per usual they are likely to change during the game
-
Hens lines I’m using where posted online over an hour ago, notice there’s no Guentzel. Just announced Guentzel is now a Hurricane.

shame that's all there was to show for it.
-
Can think of zero reasons Miro isn't on PP1. I'd do everything possible to try and get the kid a goal. Unless you think he's just gonna be a third liner or something.
-
i'm sure the fun will continue in the next period. we're going to need to be disciplined and stay out of the box. Not give them any excuse.

Malenstyn is getting better and better
He’s an RFA as is McMike.
I’m sure McMike is gonna get paid
I hope they keep Malenstyn as well. He’s greatly improved

I’m quite enjoying this game ;D

Caps up 5-0 after 2
let’s hope they can keep the Hens from making it look competitive this time
-
Still a few things to play for this game. I hope we don't get lazy in the third.
-
They have scored 5 or more goals in 5 of the last 8 games! Miss Kuzy much?

Many years ago my daughter-in law, a rather slender young lady, had a Konowalchuk jersey she used to wear to games. The name was long enough that it sort or wrapped around her. Years later, when Siegenthaler came up to the Caps, I thought of getting her a jersey with his name as a lark, because that name was one letter longer than Kono's.
Now that Miroshnichenko is up, his name is longer yet, so I may have to think about getting her a jersey with his name!! Seriously, I almost wonder how they are going to fit his name on jerseys. Can they use a smaller font?? Maybe his jerseys will just have "Miro"

GOOOAAALLLL
MILANO

They could just put a picture of a cherry on it. :P

Well, now that we've gotten rid of the flotsam, I guess the team can start playing ..... I mean, the team just shed 460 pounds from the roster, literally.
S'lily, you're going to run out of room for bananas.
-
I want to see it 8-0
-
I am braced for a double dip........ :-|
-
This may be heresy, but up 6-0, if Lindgren is on the trading block as some have reported, do you pull him just so he doesn’t get hurt?
-

If true, and if he wasn’t going for something here, maybe you’d pull him. Hard to say, Pitt has accepted the loss, not playing as hard. Caps have no reason to push as hard as they did earlier.
-
Who?
our Caps!
-
I think if Charlie was "really" on the block they'd of started Shep. Good outing tonight might stir some extra interest though.

Agreed. I assumed that’s why they were planning on starting DK. Goes back to a post you had earlier. Charlie is “for sale, not ON sale”.

Lindy gets the shutout
:clap:
:goalie:
-
Charlie is a keeper!
-
WHOOOO HOOOOO!
:clap:
And a shutout for Lindy. 1st * to him for sure.
-
Chucky with the shudder!!! 6-0

Now THAT was worth staying up till silly o'clock for. ;D
Sweet dreams all. :hearts:
:yawn:

Something I noticed during this game.
It seems Toronto has fallen out of love with the Hens. Prolly concentrating on Vegas these days. ;)
There were none of the historical biases in favour of the Hens and aginst us.
Maybe it's purely to do with the new wave of refs now, who don't have their personal preudices that some of the old guard used to harbour?
-
Probably has more to do with Pittsburgh not making the playoffs, and likely the Caps as well. Though Caps still have chance.

Except for icing calls...the fn Hens ice the puck or dump it in from behind the center line multiple times a game and its not icing.
-
Even though I missed this game I'm loving how abysmal Pittsburgh is this year. Unlike the Caps, who were simply hoping to squeeze a little more juice out of their aging core, the Pens went all in with the Karlsson trade and now they're just a towering inferno of ineptitude! And after the 4-0 whooping they took from Edmonton word on the street is Crosby wants out!
