Thanks Alta!
Can't wait! 

Strange to see van Riemsdyk on the roster.

Let's GO CAPS!

[Surreylily]

Thanks luv.    I'm hoping the old links are going to work still.
That's if I can stay awake.   

[alta]

the lines are based on what the coach said three days ago, I wouldn't be surprised if they change by game time




reports from the morning skate indicate lines have not changed

[alta]

something new I've seen this year, they are reporting opening puck drop will be at 7:07
official game time is still listed as 7:00

Lets hear some season predictions!  Like:


Willy scores 25
Kuzy finally has a great year
Charra is out of the lineup by game 20
Fehrvary - by the end of the year is a top 4 dman for us
Backstrom is just average and most nights just goes through the motions
Panik surprises us all - in a good way

because of the short season, no way Willy gets 25

[richkrt99]

I predict the Caps do NOT win the Metro Division this year 

[richkrt99]

Ovie finishes the year regular season 5th place in history in goals scored

[BarfingMonkey]

[BarfingMonkey]

I think Vrana will have an outstanding year.
I think OVI will score 33 goals.

[BarfingMonkey]

I predict T-Dub's mouthpiece will fall out during warm-ups.

So the season is abbreviated.. What about the playoffs? Full complement of games scheduled, or is that shortened again too?
