The starters looked decent. McMichael better find his touch this season. Dude gets a lot of chances. I really like Snively. Bummer with the LW situation and his contract he's probably gonna get left in Hershey unless we have injuries.
I thought they looked pretty good. They looked pretty fast in the first at least. Maybe hard to tell depending on the opponent - lots of youngsters out there. Curious as to why Mantha and Sheary playing but I guess they needed the skaters. They trying to earn spots? Nice to see both of them score though. McMichael looked pretty good. I thought Protus looked good - he's a big rig. 6'-6" oof. Vincent Iorio (D) looked pretty good too and another big body, although he is only 19 so I'm sure he'll be elsewhere this season.
SO....the Caps website is lacking (shocker) - I tried to look up Protus and he is not listed on the Roster, nor is he listed with the players "in the system"? google him and he pops up on the Caps page but no idea how you get to him FROM the Caps site
Seems like we have plenty Centers to test out....hopefully couple of them actually flourish into True 2C this season (ahem...paging Mr. McMichael)
Backy (out indefinitely....i.e. forever)
Kuzy 1C
Strome / McMichael / Snively / Lapierre / Protus / Borgrstrom @ 2C
Eller 3C
Dowd 4C
I know we have a missing 1RW so some of these guys may fill in there, but I also assume Connor Brown (RW) will fit in there ....hopefully.
Nice to see hockey again.
Go Caps
