I don't see any way you could watch that game and say that Sanford is more deserving of top 3 line assignment than Tom Wilson. He was outstanding.
Why is Ovechkin barely playing? 15 minutes tonight???
Sanford is not that bad for a rookie. And he's quicker than I thought he'd be with that size.
Ofc, Wilson being the 2M winger and the only RW on a contract for next year is bound to play more minutes. Not a knock on Sanford.
I guess Sanford didn't show anything like a shot yet, is there anything to show at all?

It' probably sucks for your fantasy team, doesn't it? I'm OK with him playing a bit of reduced minutes against lesser opponents if it means he'll be fresher when it counts.
All around great effort from the guys tonight. Small sample and against a struggling team but the new lines looked pretty good together. Hopefully they can keep the train rolling for the rest of the trip.
Also Gruby has been killer so far this year. He's such a fantastic backup now, Mitch Korn really is a goaltending god when he fine tunes somebody who already has natural ability.
meanwhile Marcus Johansson is the Caps leading scorer right now
after all that whining and moaning and fire trotz junk after the Edmonton game they are 4 2 and 1. Tampa Bay is 5 and 3.
Also, Orpik is playing so well that I think GMBM may offer #1 pick to McPhee to not pick him on expansion draft.
Team showed solid playoffs 2nd round potential today!
