    Best part of this Pens/Caps game so far was when Pierre tried to comment that the difference in Ovechkin's game this year was that he was hitting.

    Caps/Pens tonight. Added this game in a weird spot, Pens have 3 games in 4 nights as part of this stretch and Caps have 5 games in 7 days. Retarded, but oh well. Grubauer is supposed to get at least 2 of the starts I believe.

    Worth it for who is the question? I think it's worth it for us, he hasn't done it long enough to warrant the kind of deal he's likely asking for. We'll either get him cheaper after this season, or we'll be a hell of a lot more comfortable giving him a long term deal with big money. Cousins...

    Curious to see what kind of offers the Ravens get at #6. Bosa might fall to them, but he may even go lower with semi poor Combine showing. Also depends what teams ahead of them do and who's still on the board (like if Cleveland and Dallas both go QB).

    Going to be sad if we win the Cup and he got moved, but in the end this deal makes us better now and it's helpful to move his contract for next year too.

    Bummer? Finally got out from under that contract (which runs through next year). Guy is a shell of who he used to be. Winnik is a better player right now who costs half as much. Some RFA's (think Mojo and Orlov) are going to get raises this offseason. Team is better right now, and frees up...

    As long as he can split carries I think you're right. Not sure how well he'd hold up having to be a 300+ touch guy.

    Felt like Conor wasn't rattled at all, anyone would get pissed if you brought up their name with steroids, and he completely landed a KO coming back pointing out two guys in his camp tested positive.

    For you Eomer Although it's coming from a Caps centric site, and focusing mainly on Burakovsky. Also small sample size but pretty impressive by McDavid.

    Found the full Edgar rant. Sounds like he's just pissed he happens to be hurt when this chance came up. Lol @ him bitching about Conor moving up to 170 for this, when Diaz probably needed it to be there because he can't cut down to 155 in 11 days. Frankie Edgar says "C" in UFC stands for Conor

    Be real interesting to see what Conor looks like in the ring and how his power translates at 170. Dana White straight up said both Aldo and Frankie Edgar were offered the spot and they said no (although Edgar is hurt?)

    Caps acquire Mike Weber from Buffalo for a 3rd round pick (2017), while Buffalo retains 50% of his salary. Depth D move. About all we had cap room for. People seem to think it could be a prelude to a bigger trade, though.

    Not a team in the league would want to pay him $16m I would think. I know Skins were seeing if he would restructure that deal in order to trade him for something, but guess nothing materialized for that.

    Still think Dark Knight was great even without Ledger's performance (although it certainly pushes it higher), and I think DKR gets a little too much criticism for not being whatever people wanted it to be. I actually really liked Eckhart in DK.

    Well you could have spent money on Mike Green, but frankly he's not good enough defensively to be top pairing. Also health is an issue. I guess we're lucky to have Carlson (and on a pretty friendly deal for 2 more years after this one too), even if honestly his play hasn't been all that this...

    Btw Eomer, I was messing with you about that assist for McDavid. Really wish the Oilers were doing better and that he hadn't missed so much time. Kid is fun as hell to watch. Definitely find myself watching them more on Center Ice on off nights for the Caps or as my late game go to.

    Oiles pull goalie with like 4 min left down 3-1, get a break with an uncalled hand pass with leads to a Charmin ultra soft 2nd assist for McDavid on a goal to make it 3-2 with over a minute left. Could be a fun finish.

    Also Stoic, I must say the Rangers have put together a good effort going 7-2-1 over their last 10 games. We've only managed to increase our division lead by a point over both of our last 10 games. Impressive bounce back by the Rags.

    Go down 3-2 with under 10 left in the 3rd, and I had no doubt we could tie and get to OT. End up potting 2 and winning it in regulation for good measure. Holtby didn't have a great night either. Ovechkin scored again. Fucking Brooks Orpik got his first ever game winning goal (regular...

    Eh? The average as I recall is around 3.3 years, but it's a lot higher average for 1st round picks, or guys who go to at least one Pro Bowl in their careers. Think people just forget how many guys are fringe practice team players that might get a shot for a year or two at most.
