Leason in for Sprong, Schultz hurt so Kempny is in and TvR slides to the right side on the third pair.

Wish COVID wasn't still a thing. Would love to be there in person for this tonight. I went to one game in DC before Omicron hit, but I think staying away from 18000 person crowds is still the better way to go for the time being.

I don't like Sheary on the top line. Bad game aside last time out, I think they need to just let 8-92-43 work through it and rebuild the chemistry they had earlier in the year.

I assume Samsonov is going to get the start tonight after only allowing 1 goal on Tuesday. No need to rush Vanecek back, especially with a break coming up after tonight. Let him rest and heal IMO.

That 3rd line was the best line against the Sens and the 2nd best (behind the 4th line) last game. Guess Lavi had to change that one before they get used to each other.

 

[Neil Racki]

Much more even ice time vs the Predators. Dowd led w 18 mins, MCC with the low at 11 mins.

Week break after this, next game is 2/24 vs the vaginas of New York.

oh I have a good feeling about tonight now !

 

[notDkristich]

Unimpressed with Leason to date.

I wonder if Sprong's latest habit of 2 min shifts put him in the dog house.

 

[um]

Agreed. This team will go as far as Ovie and Kuzy take them, and Wilson is the dude they need to play with.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Might watch this tonight. 2 bad teams playing but I got the whole day off so...

Let's go Caps! Don't suck!

 

[Marshall]

Aw, yiss.

 

[Capitals40]

Top 3 lines are different again. All those games with the pp stinking (yes it has been better lately) and no changes but constantly changing 5 on 5 no matter the results. Yes it makes perfect sense.

Another road game where the Caps are less Suck than at home. Let's go Caps!

 

[Corby78]

When was the last time we played two good games in a row? Make it so Lloyd!

Well if they lose tonight I could use a week break.

 

[Neil Racki]

As anyone ever had a run in with those horse cops in philly? Theyre an angry bunch.

Are you assuming they're going to play well next game too?

The last game was garbage and the only reason they won was due to the randomness of hockey (puck luck).

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I’m feeling good about tonight which means a 4-1 loss is near guaranteed.

A-friggin-men.

If the 1 is from Ovechkin, I'll take it.

 

[HecticGlow]

Can we take a moment to recognise that Joe freakin’ Snivley has somehow found his way into our top-6 for multiple games in a row? Out of all the rookies I imagined might get a crack in a prime spot - and there are many, and we’ve seen many of them - he was not one I had in mind. Good for him for actually being offensively capable and sticking with the team…

Go Caps

 

[TheLegendOfPatPeake]

The Flyers line-up is hardly an NHL team so that means they will win .

[Peeri]

Somebody tell me why they keep shuffling the lines. What did Sheary do to get promoted to Wilsons spot.

 

[ClevelandCapsfan]

No audio on Caps broadcast so watching Flyers broadcast. They describe Sammy as up and down, part of the Caps problems.
