Two more matinees in a row. Maybe the Caps can finally figure this whole afternoon game thing out this season.

The entire Ovechkin era says they won’t

 

[DWGie26]

I’m calling Nick Jensen for a goal today! Let’s go boys!

Copley to Hershey and Samsonov to Washington. Both Hershey and Washington are in Newark so they can easily switch places. Hershey plays the Baby Devils at 4:00pm

Welp time to put up or shut up

I feel you. There are so many damn matinees this season though, that hopefully sheer exposure and a disgruntled Laviolette can beat some growth and change out of them. I want them to be prepped for possible playoff matinees. Plus, as tough as this playoff race is this season, the matinee points alone could actually decide their fate.

Late puck drop again?

I think there is an interesting front office story going on with Samsonov. Maybe just a conspiracy theory, but I think the Caps will suppress the number of games Sammy plays to less than 25. If he plays 25 games this year he will no longer be waiver exempt. That means we can keep him in Hershey and bring Copley up as our “exposed” goalie in the Seattle Expansion draft. That will allow us to keep Vanecek and Samsonov as our goalies next year.

Late puck drop again?

I think NJ is doing a pre game ceremony for Zajac hitting 1,000 games

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

OK here we go who had 1:16

Doubt it. They’re protecting Sammy either way and if Copley gets exposed he’s not getting picked so doesn’t matter either way.

This looks like a decent start. What the hell?

Thanks for explaining that. I have been wondering if they could still potentially protect Samsonov depending on his total games played. At this point, I would be good sending him to Hershey later on and bringing in a rental vet for the playoffs. Keeping the goalie duo for the future would be ideal.

Need to get the pucks cleared, though. Two flips/passes that got intercepted at the blue line and kept in...

 

[tenken00]

Hath has a way

And a goal.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Nice pass nice goal

 

[Eirikrautha]

SCHULTZ!!!! To Hath!!!

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

Beauty of a start.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

It’s official Justin shultz is our best defenseman

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Schultz has been everything they could have hoped for. Lots of crow being served up so far.
