She’s at least half our age anyway. Anything over 15-18 years difference is inappropriate.

The NHL is running their stupid assed Frozen Frenzy tonight. All 32 teams are playing, the Caps got the 6pm time slot.

I was looking at Caps schedule...
They have 13 pairs of back to back games this seasons (starting tonight/tomorrow)  Every single one of them with travel between cities.  5 Pairs are both away games, 5 are home/away, 3 are away/home.
4 November
4 December
1 January
1 February
0 March
1 April
November thru December they have a back to back in 7 out of 9 weeks - that's pretty grueling, all with travel
I'm sure all teams play relatively the same number of back to backs, but virtually 2 months in a row is some BS, ALL of them with travel is too.

So....I peeked at Shittsburg just to compare; they have 10 total, 2 pairs are both home games, so 8 pairs with travel (4 are both away games).  5 of the back to backs are Home for the second game
1 Oct
4 Nov
2 Dec
2 Jan
1 Feb
0 Mar
0 April

I checked the Rags for further comparison.  They play a whopping 14 back to backs, two are both home/home, 4 are away/home, 5 are home/away, and 3 are away/away.  They do only have one month with 4 back to back games in it (March),and not more than 2 in any other month.

Islanders:  12 total, 0 both home, 3 away/home, 3 home/away, 6 away/away, but only one month with more than 2, and thats March with 3

I would expect more isolated teams to have more of a demanding schedule so a peeked at a couple; Winnipeg and Edmonton
Winnipeg:  8 total; 1 home/home, 2 away/home, 1 home/away, 4 away/away, only November has 3, all 5 other months have only 1 back/back
Edmonton: 12 total; 0 h/h, 2 a/h, 2 h/a, 8 a/a, (3 in November, 1 or 2 in other 5 months of season)

Nobody comes close to the Caps schedule with a grueling 8 back to backs for 2 straight months, all with travel.
I am a die-hard Caps fan so I am sure I am biased, but their schedule is always more demanding in one way or another compared to most other teams.

(yes, i was bored)

Well...I didn't actually see it, but congrats to her and hubby.  I'm not THAT dirty of an old man...I just worship from afar.
I actually saw Alexa on NHL network last night...hosting one of the highlight shows.

Caps have the 4th best record in all the NHL...based on winning percentage and points.  The top three teams in the league have also only played 6 games
Winninpeg 6-0-0
Rangers 5-0-1
Calgary 5-0-1
Caps 5-1-0
Technically Devils are ahead of them in standings with 11 pts, but have played 9 games

Dmitry Orlov will be a UFA after this season. Rumor is he will go back to Russia to play with Kuzy.

Roy can be activated at any time because he’s already missed a week. They needed a roster spot to bring Sgar up. Sgarbossa skated at 3rd center this mornings practice, with Lapierre sitting out.

Caps are 6-2-0 and in 3rd place in division  :huh:

Canes are also 6-2-0 and in 4th  (Canes have won 4 in a row)
Devils in first 6-4-2, but have played 4 more games
Rags 6-2-1 in 2nd, played 1 more game
and....Shittsburgh in the cellar losing four in a row. 3-7-1  :uh-huh:   Actually, Hens are 2nd worst of all 32 teams except for Sharks who have won only 1 game.

On the brighter side...Carbs said today Chychrun is day to day... but prob not ready to play tomorrow
and Roy is getting closer and closer, but dont know about tomorrow yet
Carbs was asked if ALexeyev was just a straight plug in for tomorrow and he kind of hemmed and hawed then...."Alexeyev was out today for personal reasons".  No idea what that means, but supposed to "figure out more in the next several hours"  WTF does that mean?  That either means nothing or a whole lot of something
