Dowd is out, to spend time with his wife and one day old daughter. He did not travel with the team.

Game on ESPN. Probably means a later puck drop and 2-3 dopes doing the play by play. :-\

Kuemper lucky there. That'd of been his 2nd softy.
And we'll probably be on the PK here shortly. We got away with a trip on Oshie's 2nd.

don’t push Florida Man, it won’t be pretty purdy

Caps win 7 road games in row, a franchise record
:)
-
don’t push Florida Man, it won’t be pretty
Don't you mean purdy? :snicker:
-
I think Milano got that one goal instead of Fever. He hit it while it was going in. Speaking of Milano, I think he should be a guy we put out there for 3 on 3 OT. Stickhandles great, skates well and won't make the stupid mistakes that Eller makes.
-
Well I was't expecting that tonight.
-
Really happy for TJ. :hearts:
-
7 in a row on the road! Once they woke up it wasn't purdy for CBus.
See ya again tomorrow night!

Swee :hearts: :hearts: :hearts: dreams

With last night's game the regular season is officially half over for the Caps. Ovie with 29 goals - I never would have expected this. He has a very realistic chance at another 50 this year.
This game was notable in that both Fehervary and Alexeyev were on the ice. It is time for Alexeyev to take his place on the D corps, though not necessarily alongside Fehervary. Both are really LD. I wonder who was playing the right side on their pair last night? Regardless, the D corps really needs the infusion of youth, and both are 23 now. It's time.
Mantha down to the 4th line. OOF. But you have to admit, a Mantha/Protas/Hathaway 4th line LOOKS imposing, at least.
So now all of a sudden, a glut on RW. Sheary/Oshie/A-K/Hathaway, Mantha bumped to the left side. What happens when Wilson returns? His rehab is taking longer than originally expected, but maybe they feel they can afford to be conservative with him given the RW situation. Look for a trade involving a RW at some point, perhaps?
-
Yea, when Willy comes back I expect a trade. I don’t think they can send anyone to Hershey without putting them on waivers, and there isn’t anyone I want this team to lose that way. I hope Mantha is the one to get traded, nothing personal, but there’s better talent that needs to stay. And I honestly don’t care what they trade him for as long as they don’t take on more salary.
