We’ve not heard about Milano either. If it were up to me, he’d go to Hershey for a conditioning stint when he comes off LTIR. But that is limited to 10 days if I recall. After that someone else is going to need to go, and I’d be tempted to waive Milano.

Yea, love Milano, but we're not really missing his services this season. Not sure what happens if you waive and nobody grabs him? He's taking up almost 2m in salary cap.

If a player clears waivers, he goes to the AHL team. I forget what his paycheck does.

Depending on how long Fever is out, could even flip TVR and give big McIlrath a little playing time.

I thought it was interesting that Carbery's comments after the Bruins game focused on how the team gutted out the win even though they aren't playing with the crispness and confidence they did earlier in the season. He spoke about it with the calm detachment that suggests that everyone in the organization understands and acknowledges that this is currently the case, but no one is casting blame about it.  It's a long season, and teams have ups and downs in their quality of play. They are simply going to try to keep working to fix things.


Our political leadership could learn a lot from Coach Carbery.

Anybody watch the World Juniors?  I guess it was on the NHL channel which doesn't seem to be offered here.  Looks like our boy Leonard lead the team to victory and we had plenty of other guys on other teams that did really well. Prospects are looking good!!

Milano practiced with the team this morning, still in a blue no contact jersey.

The season is now officially half over for the Caps. They are 1st in the East/Metro with 58 points and 2nd in the league, they have a game in hand over Winnipeg.

I was gonna say before the Rags game.....The Caps next stretch of 6 games is vs all losing or mediocre teams... what a good time to earn some standings points, but that would have been a jinx so i didn't...
and then we go and lose to Buffalo and steal a win from Vancouver.
I did hear Joe B saying the next two games are back to back and and games 2, 3 in 4 nights for the Caps - both opponents will have 3 days rest.  Fn schedule is just wonky for the Caps
And Montreal is hot right now - winning 8 of last 10.

Go Caps

boredom thread...(just saying)  :yawn:
some surprising (to me) stats for you

Protas plus 24 is tied for second best +/- in entire NHL  (Eichel +27, McNabb +24)
Darcy Keumper 4th best GAA avg in the league (.920)
Dowd leads the Caps in PIMs with 40  (Willy has 38)
Ovi leads the Caps in P/GP (pts per game) with 1.20 (13th in NHL)
Protus is 4th in league with even strength goals with 17 (and 8th in even strength points)
Protus just turned 24 on Jan 6, McMike turns 24 on Jan 23rd, Sandin is 24, Fever is 25, (all these guys are playing top 6/ top 4 minutes)  Miro is only 20...turns 21 in Feb.
Ovi was drafted the year Miro was born and started with the Caps in 2005...when Miro was 1 :snicker:

Miro needs to take a step. I know he's very young, but 1 goal in 18 games (and that was an ENr) isn't at all what he was billed as.


Another bored fact: Only (-) players on the roster currently are Raddish and Eller. Both a -1
