GDT: Time To Clean The Litter Box. Canes vs Bolts

[CandyCanes]

We swept, our next chore is to clean the litter box.
The stench of that predator cat poo lingers, and the boys must get rid of that smell before taking on the Bolts.

Mrazek in net. Brindy says they need to start running two goalies going into the playoffs. Will it be Ned or Remier? Nobody knows...

Mrazek and Ned, probably. I really like our goalie situation, though, compared to other contending teams. Sure, maybe we don't have a Vasilevskiy, however, if injuries happen again, we have a good second and third option to lean on. The only contending tandem that I like better than ours is MAF/Lehner in Vegas.

Noteworthy is that Gardiner will draw back in and Bean is on the taxi squad. Although Hakanpaa has stabilized the bottom pair a lot, Bean did have a couple of rookie mistakes last game, one of them which led to Josi's goal. Hopefully Gardiner goes back to being what he was at the start of the year when he was paired with a more defensive partner in Fleury.

The Borg are not letting Ned go to UFA. 13 games left, Ned is at 21 career games with >30 minutes, needs 5 more per CapFriendly.

5 games for Ned out of 13 remaining is very manageable.

The cap savings for an RFA Ned vs. Reimer's current contract is significant (I expect Mrazek to re-sign somewhere around a 3x4). No doubt that the FO will want Rod to play Ned some more.

Don't we all?

Emptying the litter box always involves sweeping for me. Its like the cat does a flying moonsault into that thing

I went to see the tweet and this is
what twitter felt I would be also interested of:

Well, yeah, if only for the roster's continued strength. I like when players get paid well for their hard work. It just seems like letting Ned go to UFA would be an uncharacteristic own-goal for this FO.

If you have room, a plastic pan designed to go under a washing machine will catch a lot of that stuff.

Need to start learning how to win some games in Tampa, tonight would be a good start for that.

Both in Tampa. At least we get to face McBackup tomorrow...

I use a high backed storage Bin top off and they still get lots of clay outside... I'll consider the pan but It's clearing 8 inches (that's the plastic over the litter til they rearrange and it's at least 4-6in of litter.

More like tasty squad

We had one of these a while back. One of the cats would stand in it, lean to the sides with her front paws and stare at you with burning hatred while she goes.

Thread title had me thinking we were playing the other Florida team.

These next 4 games are going to be the closest thing we get to a playoff tune-up. Should be interesting to see how they respond, especially against Tampa who are in need of a statement win.

Sure they are in need of a statement win. The issue is still, however, that they are missing Stamkos while Kucherov is not ready yet. Not saying that their lineup tonight is any sort of cakewalk, however, the Canes are likely icing a better roster than they are right now.
