Watched end of Oilers/Panthers last night.  Crazy.
Oilers down 2-1 after one, scored 3 goals in second to go up 4-2, then allowed one late in second to make it 4-3
Panthers score 2 in third to go up 5-4, Oilers tie it like 90 seconds later only to drop 1 more with about 7 minutes left.
Panthers win 6-5
Reinhart scored the 5th Panther goal (about 7 min into 3rd) by going down wing and below the goal line and shooting from about 2' behind the goal line and hit Skinner in the back of the head and bounced in.  He had almost zero to shoot at, from where he shot it.

What I noticed was how similar Skinner plays to Lindgren...goes down to early (IMO) and plays low and squatted down too much.




FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK

OV is apparently very close to returning. He still needs to be cleared for contact and the coach would prefer he had a couple full practices before playing. Before Christmas doesn’t leave enough time to get a couple full practices in.

The Devils beat the Hens last night, which means the Caps are back in 2nd in the East/Metro this morning.

Rempe has now played 22 career NHL games. He’s been ejected 4 times and this is his second suspension. He might have made a decent NHLer in the late 1970s early ‘80s, but this kid doesn’t belong in the game now.

So after watching the game against LA, I was trying to figure out who my favorite Cap is right now.  Protas, McMike, PLD?  Maybe Chychrin?  Willy?  I could probably name a few more.  That's nice!


Also, I was thinking that I bet we see the Protas brothers in Caps uniforms for a long time, maybe together starting next year.

Speaking of next year, that could get pretty exciting as we could see a few nice prospects work into the mix.  There could be several surprises including Leonard making the jump and a couple others including a couple on defense.  Leonard was just named Captain of the USA team for the World Juniors and Andrew Cristall is continuing to score like crazy in the WHL - but he may be a couple years away.


Anyway, so much for a long down period!

Ovechkin did not travel with the team to Boston.

Rybinski was sent back to Hershey at the conclusion of the Boston game. One more player needs to go for OV and Eller to both come back, and both are on the trip to Toronto.

We better get back to the heavy forechecking that was working so well before.  This 15-18 shots on goal won't cut it at all.
