GDT: Rivalry night Caps @ Flyers. 8pm nbcsn

[Capathetic]

Hillen in for Orlov. Good idea with this being a playoff like contest?

Can Wilson KO Simmonds already?? Tonight could result in a few topics on the main board.

2pts and just fn win!

Here's to a penalty free game!

Anxious to see how Penner fits it. My main fear is that Hillen will find himself against the boards again tonight.

And I take it Holtby starts because Neuvirth won't be a Cap by the end of the day? Any chance the Caps lose Brouwer + for a top four D? didn't think so.

 

[Corby78]

Huge game tonight. Especially with the points we pissed away in the first game. Assuming Penner will be in the lineup?

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

the boys will have to focus on 2pts
maybe hard with all the roster changes yesterday and maybe more today.

Ovie 2 goals and penner scores on a feed from nicky

 

[capsfan528]

Penner with 3 and a 6 year contract extension

 

[Capitlols]

Interested to see where and how Penner plays.

 

[RandyHolt]

Penner with a garbage goal off the belly

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Penner scores an own goal to trigger the Tastykake promotion. Proceeds to eat entire case.

Interesting follow-up from Vogel:

Mike Vogel ‏@VogsCaps 2m
Lines at prax today: 21-19-8, 17-90-20, 25-17-42 and 24-83-43. Volpatti not going to play; placeholder on 4th line for now. #Caps

Placeholder for whom? Everybody is already dressed (or out), right? Grabovski coming back seems unlikely.

 

[swimmer77]

Johansson at center seems so..............well unusual.

So we've cloned Penner and placed him on two lines I see..

It's a typo (in the actual tweet). That's Fehr centering the 3rd.

Assuming that's supposed to be 25-16-42. I'd go with these:

17-19-8
16-90-20
25-21-42
24-83-43

Deschamps?

 

[ChibiPooky]

Deschamps?

That's possible. He has to be on Hershey's roster at 3PM to be eligible for Bears playoffs, though, and after 3PM he counts toward the NHL 4 recall limit (for non-emergency recalls).

 

[HunterSThompson]

Deschamps?

Gaborik

Mike Vogel @VogsCaps
Holtby starts in goal for the #Caps tonight

Just ****ing trade Neuvirth for ****s sake is stupid POS coach will start Holtby no matter how ****ing bad he is.

 

[RandyHolt]

That's the spirit

 

[RandyHolt]

Ultimately the place holder is for Kuznetsov.

Until then, it doesn't really matter. Hershey guy, or go with 7D

He's a placeholder (not playing tonight) and they only have 11 forwards dressed. I didn't consider 7 D as a possibility either, maybe a contingency for Hillen?

 

[HunterSThompson]

7 d or 12 forwards would require a call-up or someone brought in (Orlov suspended).

Holtby was excellent last game. But of course Holtby could play like Hasak for a couple games and you'd still scream to see your loved in the crease

 

[trick9]

Hopefully not Meszaros or Grossmann.

He sucked.
