Feels like this is as close to the SCF Winning lineup (both roster and line combos) as we've seen all season. Only Beags and Djoos are different from the team on the ice in game 5 in Vegas.

$#!t just got serious!

3-2 Caps!

Something going on with Backy? I got a notification on my fantasy team him getting designated as DTD

Backy is sick. He is a game time decision

Poor Jaskin. Can't buy a sweater right now. I get that Stephenson has played better lately (albeit not burying his chances, at least he's generating chances now) and DSP had a couple good looks in the 3rd against Detroit, but I'd hope that Dmitrij can return to the active line-up soon.

The Rat Fink edited the OP after my submission, now my post is rendered irrelevant.

Backstrom word yet?

see above. game-time decision.

I am very interested in seen what Boyd can do with more ice time and better line mates. If it were up to me, I would leave Eller were he was and move Boyd up to the 2nd line.

No slight to Eller, he's been playing very well but he is more or less a known quantity. Boyd, on the other hand, is still a bit of an enigma.

these GDT titles are dumb

This game could be a trap. Caps better not take them lightly.

Probably one of his migraines.

No longer want a “just win”. This is a Caps team that is much better than the Flyers, who are a mess.

PP is 1/31 in last 10 games and Caps aren’t even a top 10 power play anymore. I’m interested in seeing how Reirdon does with adjustments. Tonight/lately he’s been just following Trotz’s lines, which I’m not upset with considering it won a Cup, but eventually he’s going to have to make decisions on how things are fixed or adjusted and it’s yet to be seen on how the team responds to that...

No argument from me

 

[hockeykicker]

Backstrom is out

I like the third line.

I think Boyd can do a lot with more talented line mates.

I think Boyd might actually be more offensively gifted than Eller.

 

[895]

I believed in myself and I believed I could come in here and do what I’m doing,” Boyd said Monday. “It is reassuring for me to put up the points that I have and to reassure myself that I can play here and I belong at this level.”

Boyd is currently leading the team — and is eighth in the league — with an average of 3.32 total five-on-five points per 60 minutes of ice time among players who have skated at least 100 minutes.

Granted, he plays easy minutes but that's really impressive. He also seems like a confident guy.

Boyd is a lot more gifted offensively than Eller is.

Flyers goalie looks like he's wearing a ski mask.

It's cool as hell by the way!
