Thompson and Lindgren are both listed on IR. Looks like Stevenson is getting another start in net, Bjorklund to backup. Lindgren is definitely out until after the Olympics, Thompson is questionable. Thompson was not on IR last game. But can be reactivated tomorrow.
Fehérváry and Roy will be back in.
This is Strome’s 300th game as a Cap. Dowd’s 500th game as a Cap.

Of course we come out after a big comeback win, flat as a pancake. :-| Dowd's faceoffs and Wilson's turnovers are a huge help to Stevenson.. :clown: :poop:
At least it's early.. See if they have life the next 40.

Gritty win! I'd give Mud the #1 star!
Flyers tomorrow at 7

Thought they played ok, but not great. That game really could have gone either way.
I made a point of watching Lenny. He was average, but not great. Still gets tossed around a lot and needs to grow some more - hopefully they are feeding him well. I still hope we have a star in development, but there are a lot of other rookies about his age that are really looking good.
Just shows you that we need more higher draft picks!

Hey I figured out something important about the Caps...IF they can comeback and score at least 3 unanswered goals every game....they'd win more games :uh-huh:
I'll take it - not all that pretty, but we need wins...(or DO we?)
