No suspensions please.

 

[Raikkonen]

I agree. Wilson wont play but I suspect Gudas will. Fine place to get a little suspension.

 

[txpd]

This is a weird GDT. There is like game set up stuff to read and so forth. I am not sure I can get used to it.

 

[Hinterland]

Play Malenstyn for goodness sake.

tl;dr

Beck cements his opening night lineup place tonight. Unless, of course, he doesn't play or got sent down already and I missed it.

 

[Sam Spade]

Caps are great at social media, like one of the best teams out there, but man do they stink at releasing lineups to things like games, dev camps, rookie camps, etc.

Here is the Blues roster for tonight if anyone cares:

PROJECTED ROSTER
Forwards: Ivan Barbashev, Tyler Bozak, Mackenzie MacEachern, Jordan Nolan, Ryan Olsen, Austin Poganski, Zach Sanford, Brayden Schenn, Jaden Schwartz, Alexander Steen, Vladimir Tarasenko, Nathan Walker.
Defense: Andreas Borgman, Jay Bouwmeester, Justin Faulk, Niko Mikkola, Alex Pietrangelo, Mitch Reinke
Goalies: Ville Husso, Adam Wilcox

Interesting that Walker is in again despite being placed on waivers this week. Looks like he played the other night as well

 

[Hinterland]

Almost the full NHL-lineup of the Blues. Should be a good one.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Nice to see you all jumping on the Beck train! All aboard!

You can do that. Waive a guy but keep them on the roster

I like Beck, but there is 0,000% chance he makes the team out of the camp. Sure. He will see the NHL ice one day.

[Hinterland]

Poor Orlov with Jensen once again. Don't even think about it, Todd.
Stupid idea

He outplayed every Caps bottom six forward except Boyd and Panik. And it wasn't even close. Also, the Caps need cap space and Beck is much cheaper than most of them. There's no reason why he shouldn't make the team.

Looks to be only 10 Blues regulars in the line up. Its very much a "B squad."

have to try it....

everyone fighting for last roster spots and first call up duty tonight....

 

[hb12xchamps]

I know, just found it interesting that he's still there. Must be making it tough on them to send him down.

or they need bodies...or maybe showcasing him to give him a chance....

Sounds to me like 'Snively outplayed Ovechkin'. A pitty Beck can't take Eller's place.

 

[zappa4ever]

Going to be several last chances to make impressions for a lot tonight:
Stephenson
Malenstyn
Leipsic
Gersich
Boyd
O’Brien
Sgarbossa
Pinho

Fehervary
Lewington

Vanacek

assuming last game vs. CAR will be pretty much the season opener lineup

looking forward to see how Orlov/Jensen and Djoos/Gudas work as pairs
