IMO this is pretty indicative of how the team currently feels about McMichael: he needs quite a bit more development.

You are probably right. Or he got banged up on Tuesday. Either way no need to rush him.

Maybe they trying to save a year on his elc?

The NBCSN crew said he was injured the other night, but I wasn't sure if that was true. I didn't hear that from anywhere else. He did sometimes look a step slow in his debut. I think they just prefer NHL experience right now with covid crew out and other injuries

 

[txpd]

McMichael is hurt. So is Pinho. In addition to Eller and Kuzy(Covid list)

Wilson and Backie playing? Too much talent, loss incoming.

 

[txpd]

looks to me like Jensen is dinged or has lost his gig entirely.

Yes

I laughed, then I thought about it... and it didn't seem so funny anymore...

Does anyone know how many games is the limit to save that year on the ELC?

I believe they can play up to 9 games.

And that would be for 19 yr old an younger players.

Since the Caps are in win now mode, CMM would be playing if he was ready and would make a difference.

 

[Corby78]

Wilson back is big, also glad backy is ok, center depth would be awful. I expect a better game from the isles.

 

[capsdom86]

seriously, this would appear to be a good game to give Chara a rest.

 

[pman25]

No way they rest Chara vs Boston either, he’s gonna keep playing. Maybe after the homestand he gets a breather

 

[txpd]

Not really a good game for that with Orlov out

 

[zappa4ever]

Turning into a big game for the Aisles with their poor showing last game and getting shut out the game before, plus the danger of a letdown from our side after a such a victory w/so many out
No idea which Caps team shows up tonight but good to know the Next Man Up mentality has worked so far

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I assume we'll get the Isles best effort after they were embarrassed on Tuesday and after Trotz called them out.

4-1 Caps.

The Caps have been a dominant regular season team for a good while now. They expect to win. The Caps are due to lose one. So we will see

As long as he's on the Caps, amen to that. But I highly doubt it. The guy seems unsinkable even when he plays like a beer leaguer which is most of the time.

 

[um]

I didn't figure Eller and Kuznetsov would be out that long.

I'm surprised he can't even get a 2nd game... I mean he's literally doing nothing right now.

I thought I heard during the telecast the other night that he was injured

 

[searle]

 

[um]

Wilson won't recognize anyone on his PP.

4-1 Caps.

One can hope.
