Put Hags on the top line. Get him to 20mins a night.

Snively on the top line replacing OV. Not what I would have expected.

Great time to show off his potential.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

This is sucks. It's not quite the same without Ovy. Anyway, I hope for Caps to win.

As long as we win, Ovy will be fine. He wants that more than anything, wins.

Can’t get disappointed about Ovi not scoring if he doesn’t play.

Fuuuuuuuck off.

I hope you had time to take the under 5 minutes for CMM

Caps are not going to lie about a COVID test. He has looked slow and sluggish and it is totally possible he had some symptoms. Even if he didn’t they aren’t going to falsify this kind of thing.

The Taxi Squads need to end. It will force them to finally make roster moves and these kids can finally play meaningful minutes in the AHL.

I think it’s a TNT exclusive.

I just don’t get PLs obsession with hating in CMC. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think he is an allstar by any means.. but he holds himself up well out there and passes my eye test. I’d rather him more minutes and build confidence in Hershey. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe PLs long game will workout for his development. I know I had similar feelings with how Wilson was used in his first couple seasons..

 

[IafrateOvie34]

Come on Protas and Leason! Hell Sprong embrace the dark side and play power forward!

It’s inexcusable

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I think it’s a TNT exclusive.

It is mostly because of Ovy and McDavid. Unfortunately, no Ovy for their ratings.

Blackouts kill fans imho. Nothing like living 8 hours away to get blacked out. NHL should just drop it.

I'm starting to think he's on the trade list due to protecting him. Of course, I don't know that, but sure as heck can't understand how you bench a young star like him.

 

[txpd]

Did Wilson just call Ovechkin "Oda"???

 

[kicksavedave]

So no Ovi on the PP, going to see a whole different look? Discuss.

Imho, it's because we have an old school coach who sticks to his ways and hockey superstitions. They need to quit using 80s and 90s approach with today's NHL.
