Did I read something about Vrana being called up sometime in the last 2 days or was that part of a dream?

If it was dream, it was definitely from the collective unconscious. We are ALL wanting to get our first look at the kid

There isn't enough cap space to call up Vrana unless they LTIR Oshie. This has been covered numerous times.

Couldn't they send Sanford down and recall Vrana?

I realize it has been covered. I wasnt saying it was currently possible. I was merely saying that we fans are dying to see our shiny new toy up close and personal in an NHL sweater, especially because he has hot hand right now.

As for LTIR, it still bears watching because, as others correctly pointed out in the Kuz thread, a) the duration of Oshie injury may be murky even to Oshie and team; and b) LTIR placements can be executed retroactively.

So we may see Vrana yet, nothwithstanding current cap issues.

Can Eller not take any damn penalties please?

2 points for Caps and 1 point or Blues please!

[Turd Ferguson]

That bottom six tho

 

[RandyHolt]

Is there anybody out there

 

[Raikkonen]

Is there anybody out there

Who's there?!

Poor Kuzy. Isn't exactly instilling confidence in his power.

 

[twabby]

Tim Peel likes calling penalties.

 

[trick9]

Penalty fest.

Capitals squandered so many Grade A -chances in this game already. They can't hit the net from anywhere.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Our PP has been figured out. Time to change it up a little after 4 seasons lol

 

[twabby]

Another PP. Honestly the PP has looked pretty good so far, just have to convert the chances

I think their PP hasn't been figured out. The problem is a lack of execution and zone entries.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Can't figure that out hahaha

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Oh Captain!

 

[twabby]

Great passing down low by Kuzy and Backstrom

 

[trick9]

That's how you shoot the puck.

 

[twabby]

It was a PP, but look where Kuzy does his best work: below the goal line. Set up two grade A chances to Williams and Ovechkin, that latter of whom scored.

I think it's more than where he is on the ice. It's how much time and space he has. If he's unchallenged down low he's going to find someone.

"Caps needs (92) to elevate his game more than anyone else on the roster."

Funny no mention of Tom Wilson's 3 pts.

 

[Corby78]

A much needed PP goal. Need the special teams to start going.

Well one of those two players is a borderline top 10 player in the league when he's at the top of his game...

Edit: Realized this might be a shot at people on here, I haven't really been keeping up with the long threads.
