Let's GO CAPS!

[Mickstix]

Siegenthaler's spot?  Thought he'd been playing above average.. Hope they don't trade him and keep fucking Jensen.. Which brings me to my 2nd point. Jensen should of been the one scratched, imo..

I'm guessing maybe Siegs is injured and needs a game or more off.

Caps senior writer Mike Vogel says the Caps want to see how Fehervary has developed before the trade deadline.

Yeah but WHO could the Caps trade away?  Certainly not Ziggy.  Who would want Orlov's contract?  Who would want Jensen?
I don't see the caps making ANY moves....Just no way to pay them.  Unless they dump a BIG contract, and I don't see that.

That's cool.. I've not heard much about Fehervary? Apparently he's supposde to be a "shutdown/blueliner" type, huh?

Gotta offer someone Orlov and Jensen, plus 20 million dollars in cash.. (kinda like the Iran deal) 

[alta]

the Caps would have to offer draft picks with whom ever they trade, they don't have the cap space to play with, or the draft picks that I'm aware of




and they better play well tonight, or it will be another loss

Alta having some deep thoughts before the game tonight?

I would hope they dump Orlov. I’m not sure how much it can be a coincidence that both guys he’s been paired with have gone from above average to the worst years in their career.


Maybe they should let Mr 7.5mil babysit Orlov and see how Kempy improves with Kempy, Ziggy, etc

[Beaglefan2]

I think they chose to sit Ziggy because they knew they weren't going to trade him and if they sit Jenson or Kempny, they diminish their trade value.  I bet they plan on trading either Jenson or Kempny to a team that can take their salary and they maybe get a 4th or 5th round draft pick in return. Then they use that money to pick up a rental at the deadline.  I would like that strategy.


I'm glad they are taking a look at Fehrvey (or however you spell it) - he looked solid last time.

flashbacks from Sunday...


Alan May sure laid it on thick in the pregame

Alan May sure laid it on thick in the pregame

I've noticed he's been doing that a lot this season.

Here's how I see Alan May's primary instructions the past 3 years.
2017 - Smile more.
2018 - OK, maybe not such a creepy Joe Biden child molester type smile.
2019 - Be nice. Promote the best aspects of the team.
