God damnit. Does that mean 55 has a sweater?

 

[Vladiator16*]

Sweet! We got this! I should've said 55 got this!

Sarge's Showcase Showdown

 

[MrGone]

I hope 55 plays the game of his life. And we lose 6-1 setting up trades for 55 and Ribs.

 

[mdurbin1234]

WTF Kundratek was playing great freakin hockey! Whats the excuse for him being out, huh? This is some BS.

GMGM needs to go, now.

 

[brs03]

2 of Orlov, Oleksy, and Kundratek were pretty easy demotions for one day with the addition of Schmidt and Erskine off IR. Come tomorrow they could be called back up once the roster limit is lifted.

That's how I read it as well. Paper transactions, most likely.

I'd be mildly surprised if Orlov sees a game in Hershey.

4 pts out of first with 2 games in hand, yet you are hoping we lose so we can get a high 1st round pick for the best 2C we've had in a long time?

They may not even make the trip up 15.

Vogs tweeted that it was not a paper transaction but I guess we'll see. Definitely prefer Orlov over Schultz.

 

[Bure]

What is Schultz still doing in the lineup. This is so embarrassing.

 

[ChibiPooky]

My guess is Erskine, Alzner, and Hillen get the LD sweaters tonight.

 

[EroCaps]

Curious.

 

[Raikkonen]

**** the ****ers somehow. Just win.

Really not the thread to be discussing this, IMO.

 

[Backstrom #19]

Alzner - Green
Erskine - Carlson
Hillen - Oleksy

That'll probably be the line-up tonight. With the signing of Schmidt and having Orlov, Erskine and Kundratek healthy, you've got to think Jeff Schultz has played his last game as a Capital.

 

[Portable Mink]

if the caps win this game, we will win the cup.

You'd think, but how many times does he end up staying.

I say he either gets in the lineup tonight and gets hurt. Or, one of the three LD get hurt.

Done.

Vexing, if true. Can't see what Hillen or Schultz has done to earn a spot in the lineup over Orlov.

 

[RandyHolt]

Is it safe to say Oleksy has moved up the depth chart over Orlov and Kundratek

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Short term, yes.

 

[brs03]

Over Kundratek at least. Orlov? Who can say, Oates has yet to show he's willing to use him as an RD so they aren't competing for the same spot right now.

 

[RandyHolt]

Oates did use Orlov at RD one game, IIRC. Its a day early to celebrate but I am thinking Oleksy is happy right now. His direct hand in 2 PPGs just last game probably made it tougher to demote him.

Woitek, what a character.
