Sourdif out lower body, Carlson out upper body
Iorio gets a turn at the Caps
-
not sure D lines are accurate. The Caps PR team sucks ass at giving the fans accurate information.
-
DaFuk? Team of strangers about to take the ice. :raised-eyebrow: Did I miss anything after LA scored last night? Thought I saw both Carlson and Sourdif at the end of the game?
-
I didn’t see anything out of the ordinary, but Sammy did say Sourdif looked off at the end of the game. No idea about Carlson.

This is Alex Ovechkin's 181st multi-goal game.
Only Wayne Gretzky had more with 189.
Brett Hull is third with 158.

According to the official time on ice report, San Jose changed goalies with a couple minutes left in the 1st. I didn’t notice and I didn’t hear it mentioned.

I guess you could call this Leonard's coming-out game.
-
Hot damn. I lasted till it was 5-0 and was falling asleep anyway so went to bed. I was confident of two things: Caps would win and they'd blow the shutout :-|
And I'm with you Alta - didn't expect this kind of jump from the boys at all last night. I heard Joe B say they got in at 3am.
Lenny had a hell of a game, and plays with a little snarl. He's made some nice passes too. Not afraid to go to the boards and fight for the puck either. Liking his game more and more. Couple times recently...both on PP I think he's passed up good shot opportunity to make a smart pass that led to goals both times.
FWIW I thought both goalie interference non calls were correct, and think both coaches only challenged because they had to...Sharks were trying to keep the game from getting away and Carbs was trying to save the shutout, with neither coach really thinking they'd win the challenge.
-
And his goal song is "Free Bird" I knew I liked that kid! :P
-
I was a bit skeptical on Lenny earlier this year and thought he might not be ready for prime-time.... wrong again!
I didn't notice Iorio too much - should have watched him more closely.
Saw McMike really working hard in the D-zone a few times - very scrappy - love it.
Chisholm looked fairly solid again. I'm glad he is getting some reps and hopefully they will rotate him in as well as Big Mac, to keep them all fresher and avoid injuries.
Gotta be a fun lockerroom right now.
