For you guys, Neuvirth gets the start, and this:

@kcarrera: Brouillette and Wey will play as the third pairing. Green and Erskine are out.

God I hope Neuvy outplays Pavelec and has a vengeance against him after being snubbed for the Czech Olympic team.

That's not hard to do

Apparently the Czech scouts think otherwise

Was that a bit of a controversy here? A lot of Jets fans want Pavelec bought out. Over half.

 

[Liberati0n*]

Pavelec is probably the worst starting goalie in the league. His contract is also hilarious.

 

[Langway]

One team is right in the thick of the playoff hunt. The other team is the Capitals.

True. Capitals are out by 3. Jets 2.

That one point makes all the difference.

Orlov-Carrick
Alzner-Carlson
Brouillette-Wey

Do I have that right?

what a ****ing joke of an organization this is.

 

[swimmer77]

Well - one thing for sure tonight - Erskine won't be on ice for another goal against. Thank goodness for last change - not that the coaching staff is that sharp anyway.

This defense should get us to atleast ECF.

For anyone still holding hope this team gets somewhere, be glad that Kane is out. He is always on fire against us.

No being in the tougher West-- in a division where the top 3 have more points than everyone in the East except the Pens-- and still winning 9 of your last 11 is what makes a difference. Especially compared to the ****show the Caps have put on for the last 2 months.

 

[hb12xchamps]

If they really wanted to recall Schilling couldn't they have put Green and Volpatti on IR?

 

[Langway]

Winnipeg also only has three teams to jump over compared to five. It's not even the points back so much as the trendlines and remaining schedule.

The Caps will need a 108+ point pace in the final 25 games to hit 92 points. Even that may not be good enough considering their low ROW total. Even if they somehow take the next two games while short-handed and heal up over the break I can't see them going something like 12-6-5 the rest of the way to hit 92 points.

Volpatti was put on LTIR. With him on LTIR and Strachan down, there is only 1.3 million in available space for call-ups. Not enough room for Schmidt or Schilling plus another body for Erskine replacement.

They could put Green on LTIR, but he would have to miss a total of ten games and 24 days.

 

[SimplySensational]

AHL website is a POS. Half the pages don't even load.

That's the most reliable part of his game.

Really? I've never really encountered any problems with the new redesigned site. The older site was extremely bad and this site usability wise is actually not that bad. The AHL app is also decent for being a minor league app. It gives you game scoring updates for any team you sign up for which is nice. The Hershey Bears app on the other hand is a POS. They could do so much more with it and half the stuff doesn't work

I'm guess that is 24 active days not counting the Olympic roster freeze. In that case it makes sense.

You should check it, its down.

Either way I figure I won't even be able too find out from the website, but what pairings do Wey and Brouillette even play on?

the Czech scout never got to see Neuvirth play in a game, so......
