It appears Joe Snively is on LTIR...which means he will miss at least 10 games and 24 days off roster.  Not sure when Caps put him on (and it can be retroactive), but what was his injury?
(well....Cap-Friendly site lists him as LTIR....NFC how you get any relevant info from Caps site)

[alta]

If I remember correctly, Snively had wrist surgery


and I honestly think at this point the only reason there is a Capsdotcom is the league makes them, the site is fukin useless

Damn, time for the game already! Feels too early to drink, but fuck it, somebody has to do it! 

[Mickstix]

And it looks like 7 D again with Dowd out..

FFS Sammy..

Sammy should’ve had that one

[Mickstix]

Kempny is really good at taking stupid penalties. 

[richkrt99]

Well I’ve been trying to get a steam to work and finally got one with no sound. Went back to my foot and it just says commercial break. Are we done with 1st already

[Mickstix]

Are we done with 1st already

Just about to start the 2nd.

GOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLL


JENSEN

[alta]

I thought the player also had the option of stopping to put the helmet back on, seems like it would’ve been a better choice with the long change

[Mickstix]
