I pay for the second highest cable package w verizon so I can get B10 network, monument etc

few days ago I wanted to watch something on Monument Sports and it said it was out of my subscription?

 

[hockeykicker]

Hmmm

 

[Corby78]

Just Ovie goals, and let the pens slide by in the standings

[BiPolar Caps]

For this game both teams need to replace the usual sponsors emblazoned on their helmets with AARP.

 

[LesDiablesRouges]

Another Ovi goal, Miro first career goal, and a win. Let’s do this.

 

[trick9]

Goals?

Please.

 

[Silky mitts]

Just Ovie goals, and let the pens slide by in the standings

They've got to stay out of the top 10, good with 3 point game

 

[TJHKY]

Ovi score, that is enough!!!

 

[trick9]

Why?

It's not like they'll be better next season.

 

[Midnight Judges]

has beens vs has beens in denial.

 

[Marshall]

It's Pittsburgh.

Beat them by six.

And in the face.

 

[Midnight Judges]

Doesn't matter what happens. Both teams will be irrelevant for the near future.

Just curious what you guys think - which team has the brighter near term?

I think the Caps have better young depth, but none of those young players are ever going to be elite. Maybe it's a matter of dim and dimmer.

 

[kicksavedave]

Why?

It's not like they'll be better next season.

I think the Pens traded a 1st round pick to SJ for Karlsson which is top 10 protected or something like that... so if they win the lottery they keep the pick, but if they finish outside of the top 10, they are guaranteed to ship the pick to SJ?

Leonard looks like an elite player. Not generational, but Elite.

I may be more bullish on Lapierre than some on this board, but I think he can be special as well.

He's fascinating. Well they both are, but Lapierre has one of the weirdest development trajectories you could hope to find. Not only was he already limited in his draft year by injury, but the pandemic absolutely f***ed that time period up and robbed a lot of players of development time. He was something of a steal when picked because of those factors, but then it only got weirder and he lost out on some development.

Now he's starting to find that adult edge where he's willing to make plays and so far has been getting rewarded for being more assertive and using his skill when he thinks it's possible.

I don't think he's going to have some massive breakout 80+ point season but I think he could find his way to a 2C role in the next few years and maybe sniff 60 if it all goes perfect.

Sometimes you dim sum and sometimes you lose some.



Sorry everybody .. sorry ... I know .. im hungry but still .. im leaving, one last sorry.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Just for pregame, let’s appreciate how lucky we were to be in the middle of the Ovechkin Crosby era as it’s coming to the end

 

[Ridley Simon]

Did we see the starting lineup yet for the Caps? Goalie etc??

 

[SecretaryofDefense5]

If they don’t move a goalie, I’m confused.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

It's Pittsburgh.

Beat them by six.

And in the face.

Hoping for a Malkin tantrum and ejection.

It's all about patience. He needed a few years to grow. I agree.

I'm not a fan of top 10 protection. Teams either want it or not. This league.
