    Yeah at most it's a minor penalty. There is a certain subset of Caps fans that forever want some of the other stars of the league taken to task for their secret dirty ways (and yes, Sid has qualified for that list on occasion in the past), but they do so by jumping on any little incident they...

    I was glad they could laugh about it after Oshie took some time going down the runaway after banging knees with Sid earlier in the game. Btw, a lot of whining about that from certain Caps fans when I think it was pretty obviously just incidental contact. Oshie makes a move at the last second...

    I will say that OT goal was Charmin Ultra soft. But it's Buffalo, everyone gets some freebies against them.

    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.

    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...

    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.
