If the Caps miss the playoffs by a point or two (which is the most likely outcome), there are going to be some questions asked why L'il Protas wasn't called up a little earlier.
-
Yep, people been asking for his callup since just after the Olympics.
Also, if they played Leonard on the 1 or 2 line every game, he'd have 30 goals, even with the injury, imo. I dunno, I don't see him as a liability regardless what line he's on. I guess maybe they didn't want another shooter/scorer on the same line with Ovi? But he's worlds ahead of McMike and Beauvi, yet they get all the open winger slots, when one opens on the top 2 lines.
Anyway, 2 of 3 milestones met today! Need to get Stromer 1 more in the next 2 games!!

Flyers Spanked Winnipeg. OUch that hurt. Need Flyers to lose there final 2 games
