...With key players out of the lineup, it is possible we will see some taxi squad players slotting in. Prospect Connor McMichael joined the taxi squad on Thursday and had his first practice with the team. McMichael, Anderson, defenseman Martin Fehervary, and center Brian Pinho skated with the NHL group (https://novacapsfans.com/2021/01/21/no-ovechkin-kuznetsov-orlov-or-samsonov-at-thursdays-capitals-practice-connor-mcmichael-martin-fehervary-and-brian-pinho-skate-with-team/#more-309257) this morning.[/size][/font]

Do we even have a spare center? I wouldn't mind seeing McNugget on the ice! It's early, next man up and all that.. They can call up the Hersey Bears for all I care, just play some damn hockey!!  :raised-eyebrow: :raspberry:

Not really, but.....Lines for tonight:

Vrana  13 - Backstrom 19 - Wilson 43
Panik 14 - Eller 20 - Oshie 77
Sheary 73 - McMichael 92 - Sprong* 10     *(unless your Mick and then McMichael plays center and wing on this line) :raspberry:
Hagelin 62 - Dowd 26 - Hathaway 21     maybe you put Hags on L3 and Sheary on L4...I don't really know Sheary's play.
or maybe you move Sprong up and Panik down, but Lavy seems to like Eller & Panik's play together


Ziggy 34 - Carlson 74
Dillon 4 - Schultz 2
Chara 33 - Jensen 3


Vanecek 41
Anderson 31 (backup)
scratched:van Riemsdyk 57


THE NAUGHTY LIST:

Ovechkin 8
Kuznutsrsoft 92
Orlov  9
Samsonov 30

and is it REALLY a home opener if you are playing in an empty rink?


I mean I know the guys get to sleep in their own beds, see their families and such, but playing in an empty barn doesn't provide a lot of motivation.

He's good enough to. You'll see. I bet he is selected as captain after Ovie retires if Mr. Wilson isn't around at that point for some reason. Good joke though, obviously you knew what I meant by that statement.


I can't believe they don't have him in the lineup tonight. I guess they have 3 more games after this at least to work him in.
