Caps lose 5-2
-
Another NHLNet game for us out of towners. :-(
-
Didn’t the Caps royally shit the bed the last time they played the Yotes ?
-
The Caps put Kuzy on Waivers? Damn they really are done with this guy and his BS.
I’m a little surprised he hasn’t been claimed. He’s a huge risk for sure but for a playoff bound team he could be a difference maker
If any team wanted him…wouldn’t they just grab him for free? Rather than waste assets in a trade?
I mean I guess he’s a big cap hit next year but still
I guess we found out by 2pm exactly what the rest of the league thinks of him
-
I could see a couple teams take a chance at about $5M, but not $7.8M.
-
Evenin' all
:wackysmile:

afternoon Lil

:O=

No chance for Lindy on that.

December 4 in Arizona, Coyotes won 6-0

Our ability to look like shit is impressive. :-(

hey now, I didn’t get to bed until 3am
-
incidental, yea right
-
We are slacker than a good ho's knicker elastic. :P
Edmunson has annoyed me. Twice now he's been caught contemplating his navel and a Yote glides by and takes the puck off him. >:(
-
and what's with allowing all these breakaways?
:raised-eyebrow:
-
hey now, I didn’t get to bed until 3am
Well then, Im gonna give you a pass today. :raspberry:
-
Loosey goosey slack Alice is what we are so far.
Boys missing their afternoon nap and their nanny's teets?
On the plus side we're only one down and that's more to do with luck methinks.
-
Imagine that. :-\

well that explains it then. :-|

Aaaannnd here we go with the panicky blind "passes" again. ::)
-
Keep trying that backhand on the breakaway Ovi.. You'll get one in your career at some point. :-(
-
that’s what happens when you move around and pass the puck on the power play

McMike says fuck it, Im not passing it to anyone but Coyotes today!

Looks like our fellas have finally woken up. Too little too late?
-
Wide awake this team struggles to score. It was too late in the 1st period.
-
nother pp …
do or die on this one

-
welp, so much for that
-
At least it wasn't a shutout.
And I didn't have to lose any sleep. ;)
-
No Ovi goals and smoked by Phoenix. Oof.
I'll be pissed if they move Mantha but not Pacioretty. No reason his old ass needs to be taking up ice the rest of the way. Scratch him if you have to. If they had any D prospects worth a fuck I'd say do the same with Carlson. Time to scrap any current plans and think future.
-
Toodle pip. :hearts:
-
Now the team has to make its decision about deadline strategy. A game with Pittsburgh yet before the deadline, but you have to know what you're going to do and start working the phones before deadline day.
I realize that some players' feelings could be hurt and they'll say management isn't supporting them -- but it's time to sell.

Iorio appears to be having a good year at Hershey, but he isn't really an offensive threat.

If you can’t beat Arizona, a team that has lost 14 of the last 15, playing at home, with your playoff hopes on the line, then you better being sellers at the deadline. Jensen, Mantha, Pacioretty, Dowd, even Charlie should be traded for picks [and Charlie and Dowd better be a high pick cause they’re signed for a reasonable amount next year].

Yea, that's what we need though.
As for selling. Just hope GMBM realizes guys are for sale, not ON sale. Dowd, Charlie and Mantha should all demand high returns. Take Pacioretty, or Edmondson for pucks. Jensen for pucks and sticks. lol
-
I actually think they could get a pretty decent return for Edmundson. Playoff teams will want his physicality - which he can bring if he wants to. I think he is also viewed as a "steady" veteran defenseman. They definitely would get a 3rd rounder for him, maybe even a 2nd?
Jenson also could bring a decent return. He is a good skating puck mover and I think they at least get a 3rd round pick for him - although his $4 million contract for the next 2 years will probably be a bit of an issue. If it were just in the $3 million range, I think he would be attractive.
So, I think Edmundson definitely gets traded and Jensen stays.
-
Edmunson, Mantha and Dowd have the highest value IMO
All three guys would help a playoff team
I would think Mantha is a tasty morsel because if he's a bust there is no lingering contract...he's an easy choice for a contender and his size helps too.
dowd contract value is low so thats attractive as well. Same for edmunson...i think there will be several teams interested in a big stable D man for a playoff run. You cant have enough of those in a long playoff run
FFS - get on with it already
