Vrana just added to the covid list..

I'd really like to know what test the NHL is using

[Mickstix]

Yep, a little fucking transparency would go a long way.. Seems everything these days is some sort of secret we're just supposed to accept.. Does he have the shit? Did he just test positive? Did he just come near someone with the shit? Is Sammy and Kuzy on their death bed? Who the fuck knows.. 

[Surreylily]

Ignorance is bliss, right?

My wife's cooking tastes better when I'm drinking.  Does that count?

Wait, I mean..

today's practice has everyone back on the ice, except Kempney. Right now it looks like Vanecek gets the start

Ovechkin-Backstrom-Wilson
Vrana-Kuznetsov-Oshie

Hagelin-Dowd-Hathaway
Sprong

Dillon-Carlson
Chara-Schultz
Orlov-Jensen
Siegenthaler-TvR

Samsonov
Vanecek

[Mickstix]

Vanecek starts unless he gets put in protocol or something. They don't even know if Sammy will make the trip. Might be assigned to Hershey to get some reps.

Sammy goes to chocolate town...

Kempny back on the ice for the 1st time.. Looks like he's still probably a month away?

[alta]

no way Kempny is back in a month, if he wasn’t recovering from an injury/surgery it would take that long just to get back to game shape after not skating for six months

Looks cool, but....I'm sticking with my Fitbit watch (about $130)

I'd be surprised to see him play this YEAR in a Caps game....especially considering the depth of D we have currently, and the salary cap.


Now IF someone were moved (cough....Orlov, cough, cough) AND the caps made a playoff run, then MAYBE.... but I'm doubtful on all counts here.

the Caps do need draft bait at the end of this season, and they better not put Carlson on the protected list either. They need to get rid of that contract

Never happen.  I think Dylan is about #3 on the dynasty never trade list behind Ovie and Backy

We used to think that about another Dman that was a better winger than D, he finished his career in Detroit

[Mickstix]

expected to release a statement shortly in response to news that Artemi Panarin will be stepping away from the team in wake of an article from Russia alleging that he beat up an 18-year-old girl in Russia in 2011

[alta]

just about everything I can find right now is calling it a political hit piece ...
