Caps and NHL are in agreement on the broadcast, it will be on Monumental.
No FM broadcast because fuck the fans.

Gibson sent back to Hershey, Stevenson called up.

yeah someone tell Mick. That ole redneck is trolling the interwebs for a TNT connection :raspberry:

PK time

Might be the last time we see Ovi v Sid.. :(
Crazy the arena doesn't even look full? Last time to see Ovi in person, much less the rivalry?? :raised-eyebrow:
Had no clue it'd be on Monumental. Have to see if hulu has it.
-
A Sunday afternoon game on a nice springtime day. I’m not surprised at this not being a full arena. This should be a 6 or 7pm game. It is pretty full though.

40 minutes down! Fun game, so far..

Ilya Protas was listed as a winger while in Hershey. While I did see some highlights of his play there I never did see if he ever started a game at center.

Wow, I can't believe this is the 100th meeting between. Ovie and Sid The Kid?!🤯

Hails yeah, The Pens better get off the ice. This is Ovie's home!

Nice W!!! Ovi's not going anywhere. Waived the Pens off when they tried to line up and salute the GOAT!! I think he'll sign for 3 @ 8.5 and go for 1k. :snicker: :P
Fun game! Another SHUTTY for LT!!

Whoops I almost forgot to give Thompson his props for a

AND Liljegren, coming off the bench after not having played for awhile, played the 2nd most minutes of any defenseman, contributing to the shutout, so he couldn't have been doing too much wrong.
Next two nights decides it. Let's see what Philly does.

Yes I though Liljegren has looked good in the games he's played. I don't know why they don't play him over TVR. Liljegren has got some wheels on him. Seems to be pretty offensive minded - more O than D. Maybe that's why TVR gets the nod. That and TVR is a known entity. I think vs teams with speed though TVR is a liability.
TVR got the game winner yesterday, so I gladly eat my hat over knocking him ;D
I have yet to hear an update on Sandin. It was a weird injury. Definitely should have been 2 min interference but it was not a bad hit in any way. I think his skate caught and he tweeked his knee. He sure seemed to be in pain.
Man do we need Canes and Montreal to be good to us. Canes have little left to play for...but 1 point would guarantee them 1st in the east, so they want that point. Montreal is fighting Buffalo for top in Atlantic, so they do need to win.
Certainly would love to see our playoff hopes come down to us in the last game of the season.
GO CANES! GO HABS! (for next few games anyway)

I hadn't noticed just how mobile Liljegren is, with the puck. And better yet, never really noticed him in the D zone (so he was doing his job) No idea why he never got a sweater.
