Roster/Lines must be a secret tonight.
-
maybe, I haven’t gotten that far yet
Word is Lindgren did not travel with team on this two game road trip.
So far this season the Caps are 0-6 on the PP. This early in the season it wouldn’t take much to move from the bottom of the the stats to the middle.

Im okay with Ovie on top line with Wilson and Strome, but I don't like Oshie on line with Kuzy and and McMike.
what's the goal here...to have an old cripple guy on each line to slow it down?
Oshie has heart, but he's not as competitive as he once was.
I really wouldn't have a problem with Ovi/Backy/Oshie being a classic line...with limited minutes and give them all the PP with Kuzy as a fourth.
Oshie handles that slot position well on PP and Backy can manage and handle the puck, Kuzy can skate around with it and Ovie can shoot it. (yeah like thats worked so well thus far) Anyway, I think you limit their minutes...they can still contribute and NOT be a top line. THey are old FFS.
I might actually get to watch this game...whoops 6:30, so maybe Ill watch the 1st at work

Lucky me! :wackysmile:

whats the chick's name singing the anthem...she got a deep voice
and a pretty good tan for a Canadian
-
I actually have liked the posession in the zone on the PP and can see that the goals will come but the entries are still ugly as F@#$
-
so much for those lines
-
hey we got a shot on goal in the first 90 seconds
oh maybe that was going wide, but at least a shot taken
-
43 makes such a difference on the OVI line

Looking like he'll have to play until he's 45 to get those 75 goals he needs. :snicker:
-
That's if he can get 10 a year! lol He better hope for a bunch of lucky bounces, cause so far, home boy looks extra slow, huffing and puffing on the bench, 10 minutes into the game.. :-\
