IFFF Backstrom returns this year Eller will move to wing. Strome could move to wing as well but he looks just fine at 1C with OV and Sheary. my worst fear is that 19 comes back between trade deadline and end of season with caps in playoff position. I’m just resigned that we have Eller all year.

lol Locker saying game ‘would be over’ if Caps went up 4-1. This team is more than capable of blowing 3-goal lead

Locker is an automatic jinx for the Caps. He could say “game over” with the Caps up 6-1 and the other team would find a way to tie the game

Welp, Locker has guaranteed that the Caps will find a way to lose this game now

Carlson gets one back that he gave up. Seems like a pattern lately.

In order for 19 to return, significant amounts of salary have to either be traded away or end up on LTIR themselves. In other words, 19 isn't coming back unless another big salary player is on LTIR or the team is far enough out of the race to be selling off pieces like Mantha, Orlov, Oshie, or Wilson. Whoever is subtracted from the roster will likely shed light on where Eller would play in the event of a Nicky return.

Don't worry there is still another 20 mins left for him to do something stupid and give up another one

Probably good, don't need Striking Distance's rodents getting too big. I can't remember when I had McD's, maybe early 90s, lol.
I thought initially it was Protas goal.

That was a great ending. Michigan guy totally just trying to draw a foul. Good dee by UVA.

personally if I had to guess if 19 is moved then eller would be the piece that is shipped out

Somehow I fell down the rabbit hole of reading the Game 5 thread during intermission.

actually, now that im looking at it, assuming wilson is healthy when backstrom is back (since wilson was never officially moved to LTIR) the caps could keep all the major salary pieces and run with it if they make the following roster moves:
send down Aliaksei Protas, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, Joe Snively, and Alex Alexeyev. According to CapFriendly, this lineup is under the cap with like 180k to spare

I remember when the Caps couldn't buy a win in Vancouver. I would like to see them get something going this road trip. Good win.

No hat trick but Ovi gets yet another GWG. He’s basically our only chance to win at this point lol
Good to see Mantha get a couple of points. Still soft. Trade while value is raising! Snivery can play his third line role better and cheaper.
