Oh look, someone FINALLY decided to create the GDT.. A mere 5.5 hours before game time.  ::) :raspberry:

Lavi cutting bait with Kuzy and you are eating bait for dinner :huh:


surprised Ovi is out.  So does he have a broken toe or something?


Nice to get Spronger back in there.  He has been a pleasant late bloomer this season.  Good on him.  I think he and Sheary both have been better than expected for us this year.

Seeing he hasn't even been skating tells me he reaggravated whatever it was he hurt.. I mentioned the 1st game Kuzdipship and Co. missed that they were probably rushing him back to fill skating spots. Dumbasses. I'll be surprised if we see him in the 1st round. I "think" it was a pulled muscle and those don't just heal up in a week.  :-\

OV definitely pulled something, you can see it in the one shift he played on 5/3. Lavi made comments a couple games back that indicate someone broke their pinky toe blocking a shot. Must be Schultz.

Maybe, but Van was all over the place and hadn't got a clue where the puck was.  He gave them every chance.

Missed a team meeting. Speculation is that they violated protocol in the process. Also speculation is that they were put on protocol as punishment, which creates cap space. (also ends their regular season though)

    They cant put a player on protocol to punish him to save cap space.

Pretty hard to prove. Scenario: They miss a meeting, team says "we don't know where they were or if they were observing protocol".. Out of "an abundance of caution" they get put on protocol. Salary gets removed from cap space when on protocol.. Again, it's speculation, but also 2+2 type math.

Shoulder on leg/knee, straight down the tunnel..  :-\  Yea, could be a quick playoffs..


And the PP is nothing more than a 2 minute breather w/o Ovi and Kuzy. Just putting Sprong or whoever in Ovi's spot seems pretty lazy. Need a more traditional PP, but I guess they can't be bothered with learning anything new..

When the Caps have scored in the Mcnugget Minute, the Caps have lost that game.  People say it's the Mcnugget Minute Curse.
You use the Mcdonald's app and you get a free 6 piece chicken mcnugget order.
