Yeah I'm assuming we'll both be giving a good bit of guys rest. We might still be chasing Pitt at that point, though.

Wild being a Caps fan last 3 games. 9-2 win over Philly, 7-3 loss to Toronto, 8-4 win over Montreal tonight. D is way too loose.

Yeah, plus the whole offensive defenseman winning hadn't gained full steam yet. I like to think Green cleared the way for other guys later on. 31 goals by a D man still just nuts. When you factor in his games played, we haven't seen anything like it in ~30 years.

Still crazy to me Mike Green didn't win the Norris scoring 31 goals in 68 games played back in '08-'09.

My Minuet/PP was working fine last night. Always activated either/or.

Agree with you on Florida, I do think they can be upset by the right team (although at this point playing Canes or Rangers would be an ECF match up only).

We'll see, but Pens, Boston, and Tampa all losing tonight opens up some options potentially. We'll have to keep winning at this pace, though, which seems hard.

That was hilarious, crazy good game from us. Just glad not too much bs at the end get out of there healthy as possible. Breathing down Pitt/Boston's necks atm. Just nice to see us playing well late in the year. I'd really love to find a way to catch someone and avoid Florida.

Shit, been so deep into Lost Ark and other stuff I totally missed this coming up as patch day tomorrow. Definitely going to check it out, but feel totally out of the loop.

They absolutely have the firepower. But you know how it is, they will be questioned until they actually make a semi deep run. Toronto hasn't even won a series in something like 17 years. I don't know if it would be good for them to somehow get Boston again or not. There's something to be...

I just don't think we'd have a shot against them b/c I feel like you'd need a goalie who can at least potentially step up and steal a few games with an offense that can sorta keep pace. Just don't see it from us. Would feel much better playing Carolina or Rangers, although we'd be an underdog...

As a team with similar goaltending questions/issues, I can relate, but I've seen a few blown leads that hasn't been all on the goalie/s by them that makes one wonder. Florida is just a whole extra level, they almost remind me of the 2010 Caps.

Aside from this late push to get out of a wild card spot (and early exit against Florida), really want Ovechkin to get his 9th 50 goal season. Has had a 49 goal year, 32 in 48 games in a lockout shortened season, and had 48 with like 13 games to play when covid stopped the one year. Already...

Gotta respect what he's doing out there. It's pretty insane. Obviously their team is built for pure offense so they will question whether it can work in the playoffs, but the rates he's putting up are just eye popping.

I mean...this isn't something new for Crosby. It'll get mostly ignored, though, because it's him.

Lately what he does best is be a 20+ goal scorer. Just too valuable to be in the penalty box all the time (especially with us losing Hagelin for the year...we honestly don't have a lot of real good PK forwards in the lineup at this point). Frankly we just need him in that role, too many other...

But did you really root for us when noted goal scorer Tom Wilson scored the eventual game winner in the 3rd, also matching his career high in goals for a season in doing so? Actually didn't get to see the game, but heard there was some interesting moments. hard to be upset with a 6-3 win on...

Better game by us tonight for sure, but it's hard to get excited with florida looming as likely Round 1 match up. I'd feel better against Carolina. Just don't think we can score nearly enough consistently to keep up with Panthers, and neither of our goalies is going Halak on that team.

Please, get rid of Snyder. Force him to sell.

I can't imagine Cleveland is seriously expecting a 1st

His talent was promising, I don't think he was ever not acting stupid in general, though.

I can't tell if Backstrom is slowly working his way back into form or if Mantha on his line just is making him look really good.

Decent WR draft. Expect Chiefs to trade up and take a shot on one in the 1st. If they hit a home run, could help them with some cap issues next couple years. $30M a year for a WR is insanity.

Glad we didn't give up anything major, just a couple small adds. No defensive depth is a little worrisome, though. If Kempny is getting any ice time in the playoffs can pretty much immediately write us off in 5 or 6 games Round 1.

I'm here too. It's funny had a debate about this at work before Watson reversed on Cleveland there was rumor if he chose Atlanta Ryan would get moved to Seattle...and friend was trying to argue Ryan's HoF case. I said flat out maybe if they get that Super Bowl and he wins MVP. He countered...

He did, but is this no different than Brady going to a stacked Tampa team and adding Fourentte, Gronk, and AB? Also Kupp has always been a good receiver...but not 1,900 yards and triple crown good until Stafford got there.

It is what it is, we had plenty of chances to get more and didn't convert. Dallas came to play first 40. Their PP goal in 2nd was really pretty passing play.

Good lord. Also really not liking some of the officiating in the 3rd period of our game v Dallas today. Waived off a goal with a questionable GI call, and a dangerous play with Benn taking down Carlson into the boards at end of the game completely uncalled.

Dude literally won it all the only year he wasn't saddled with Detroit. Beat Brady along the way. In Tampa.

Some of these trades are pretty nuts. Used to be a 2nd was the going price for decent pieces, and the big dividing line was whether a guy would bring back a 1st or not. Now these deals are generating a 1st plus more.

Kind of funny that even a $40M cap hit for Stafford is slightly less than they were spending on their starting QB position last year.

Pretty big return, too. Giroux to Florida I'm hearing? Or rumor?

Shit I loved the Imp Agent story, had a group of 4 of us in TOR early access that super grinded that shit in a couple days and thought it was fantastic. Doesn't come close to HW/ShB/EW for me, though.

Yeah the cost control of $1.5M cap hit for 2 more years after this one and he's still only an RFA at that point is just massive.

Just hit 1100 on my Gunslinger, that last piece was an adventure, 3 fails before buffing up a try as much as I could and succeeding at 78%. T3 sounds like pain ahead. But if I was going to roll an alt or two, are there good classes that are complementary to already having a GS?

Well I was wrong, 3 and a shootout was enough. Kinda sucks that game ended in a shootout, but Ovechkin sending it home makes it worth it.

How did the Texans find the money to trade Watson?

Samsonov in tonight, we losing unless we score 5
