Post-Game Talk: We waived Laich @ Chicago Circumventors (12:37pm)

[BiPolar Caps]

Beagle is back today. Expecting him to really help out the 4th line.

At the very least will improve our performance in the dot.

 

[Blades of Steel]

No..pregame starts at 12:00.

ahh ok I was assuming nbc would do their thing at 12:30-1:00 thanks for heads up

Weber could be drawing a sweater for an un-named d-man who has the stomach flu.

This will be an L in that case. Woof woof.

Is Laich out? Unless Laich is removed from that line, it won't do squat. He is a liability in that sense. Dude can't do squat with the puck. Its line playing with only 2 forwards.

Come on now. He's severely overpaid but he's comparable to other 4th line players in the NHL. Quit acting like he's an ECHL level player.

Laich - Richards - Beagle will be one of the better 4th lines in the NHL.

Who's the second bread man?

Carbs might be satisfying but overall they are bad for you. So eat hearty, Chicago.

What? They won games this year with Ness in the lineup. They got the guy for playoff depth, which means they think he can hold his own in a pinch against good teams. You really think if he plays they lose, period?

 

[hockeykicker]

I thought people wanted players to rest? Now we worried about players being out sick?

These boards are going Schizo!

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Even if Alzner was the one with the stomach flu, I can't see them not dressing him because of the streak. Under such circumstances I could see the Caps probably dressing 7 d-men in order for Alzner to keep his iron man streak going.

 

[tycoonheart]

If its Nisky who has the flu and is out, this would be an amazing opportunity to see Orlov on the point on the PP.

Whoever has the stomach flu should be quarantined, not dressed for the game

RRRiiiiigghhttttt! Because that player has not been in close proximity to their teammates in the past 24-36 hours. Just flying is like sitting in a giant petri dish, you got someone sitting near you coughing/sneezing you just know you'll feel like crap soon.

These boards are going Schizo!

And what do you call the medical condition when the patient is prone to dramatic exaggeration?

 

[895]

Even if Alzner was the one with the stomach flu, I can't see them not dressing him because of the streak. Under such circumstances I could see the Caps probably dressing 7 d-men in order for Alzner to keep his iron man streak going.

So going down one forward in a big game just so Alzner can preserve a meaningless streak sounds like a good idea to you? Priorities.

 

[artilector]

As for the game, unless one team utterly destroys the other, not gonna put any stock in it.

Want to see offensive fireworks!

 

[Chukcha]

it should be a butchery

 

[Chukcha]

any news on CHI roster? what about their recent acquisitions?

 

[foundhockey]

Let's go, Caps! Glad to see Beagle is back. What's worrying is this flu going around. Ugh. Better now than later, though.

Some stupid streak's really the most important thing in the year when we want to win the Stanley Cup...

Have you seen him play?

 

[tycoonheart]

Have you seen him play?

Doesn't matter what he looked like with Buffalo. I trust Trotz and his assistants. These guys are very good coaches, esp on the defensive side of things. Clearly they saw something in him to feel that he'd be a good fit with our system. I trust 'em.

 

[Turd Ferguson]

We'll beat them, quit whining. Sickness happens, lets see Weber in a caps uniform and be happy our Beagle is back.
