They better win this one.
I dread these games. Didn't we lose a couple of them to Buffalo last year? The GDT gets particularly gloomy and panicky when we underperform against a lineup that is supposedly mostly AHLers.

Driving as well as parking will be most difficult due to the Valor concert on the Mall a few blocks away. Metro will be the best option and even that could be problematic due to the concert attendees before and after the game.

I'm not overly concerned about 83 being on 1L because Trotz has shown that he will shift things around very quickly if he doesn't think the combination is working. In fact, I would almost be more surprised if 83 does end up spending whole game there. I would expect Kuz or MoJo or Fehr (unless he is scratched) to show up there for at least a shift or two unless 1L comes out blazing and puts up points. I would especially expect to see changes if we're behind and need to jumpstart the O.

Agreed, already crossed my mind.. yeah he said he wants 92 to be a C so he leaves him on 4th line.. but if that 1st line isn't clicking I can bet 92 goes to 1RW and 83 back to 4C.

I would love to see the media's reaction if Ovie puts up 3+ goals in the first 25-30 minutes. Bet it wouldn't even come close to Crosby's 5 assist against Buffalo.

His capologist and scouts all remain so time will tell. It sounds like MacLellan overall is waiting to see how players adjust so it's maybe not anything that will happen soon but I surely wouldn't discount it.McPhee isn't in charge anymore. Hopefully this is one aspect of the team that changed. Plus, he always extended those depth contracts a year before they hit UFA anyway.

And enforcer.
She would rip off the penalty box door and heave it across the ice.
Or, eat it.

I'm surprised that she hasn't shown up in the Redskins thread as a potential upgrade at offensive line.
That is what usually happens. They bring up a bunch of hungry minor league player and they out work us at every level of the game.

Hilarious quote from Trotz re: Hartnell:
"There's always a yard sale around him, be it players or him or equipment or something."
I don't know what the context was, I'm assuming Trotz said it good-naturedly. But it made me laugh anyway.
Edit: Nevermind. Here's the full quote, via CSN. Actually very complimentary. He meant yard sale as 'debris,' not teams shipping off players.
Fourteen years ago tonight, Blue Jackets left wing Scott Hartnell scored his first NHL goal as an 18-year-old member of the Nashville Predators. Barry Trotz was behind the bench that night against the Boston Bruins.
“We were in an expansion era and he was 18 years old and we thought we could be patient with him but we didn’t have enough players that were good enough,” Trotz recalled.
“He was a real big body for us. We had a small team. What he continues to do is he always works hard. He goes to those hard areas. He always played with emotion on his sleeve. He was a good young player for us and he’s had a great career.
“If you’re going to find Scott Hartnell, there’s always a yard sale around him. There’s always debris, be it players or him or equipment. That’s from going to hard areas.
“On the ice he plays edgy and sort of raw and off the ice he’s as considerate and as nice a man you’re going to meet in the game.”

I'd love nothing more for beagle to suddenly become an elite 1rw with the discovered amazing chemistry playing with 8, 19. Beagle scores tonight.

That's more unlikely scenario than Caps signing Jonathan Cheechoo from KHL and him scoring 56 goals again this season.

If beagle gets a hat trick or hell even a pair of goals I'm buying a lottery ticket
Edit: Or a goal
