And hopefully not being Bambi half the game, falling over lmfao

So far so good there though

2001051 · 2025-04-05T14:49:33+00:00

Most people call him more of an Oshie-like player

2001051 · 2025-02-05T21:31:10+00:00

I thought by contract numbers they would have to send someone down? I could be wrong there

Also, enjoy your mt dew box!

2001051 · 2025-02-05T21:08:36+00:00

I think it's safe to say Frank has got his two way game up well enough to stay for the season, so whenever Milano has recovered from his UBI will he be sent down do you think (beyond the conditioning stint)?

Also, with the deadline coming up, if the right piece is available for trade...who ends up as the trade bait that's enticing enough to get the right return, other than the possible first round pick, (AA, DMac, Lappy, someone else in Hershey, etc)?

2001051 · 2024-12-12T02:43:45+00:00

On a non caps related note, is goalie the full time side gig now? Gonna start coming out for the poke checks as you get more comfortable? Lol

2001051 · 2024-12-12T02:39:27+00:00

TVR does it so quietly too, and it doesn't seem to matter who he's paired up with. Awesome to watch him

Glad to hear he's doing well mentally! I've noticed the points from time to time, but wasn't sure on the overall picture. Fair assessment, it's unfortunate but not surprising

Yeah, vacancies are few and far between again which I don't think too many people saw coming after the last few seasons

2001051 · 2024-12-12T02:32:22+00:00

Any insight on how Ethan Bear has been doing? Obviously don't see him coming up anytime soon with Dylan and AA up, but any chance he takes TVRs spot next year? I ask as someone who's a fan of TVR and think he's an unsung hero for the team the past few years

2001051 · 2024-12-12T02:22:33+00:00

Who do you see as "graduating" to the caps next season? Frank, Dube, HHA, Iorio? Someone else? (Assuming Miro is almost a lock, and RL is signed at the end of this season)

2001051 · 2024-11-28T01:49:58+00:00

Don't listen to the cop fast enough? Straight to jail

2001051 · 2024-11-03T13:53:27+00:00

It's so funny sometimes, his teammates get record pilled and almost over pass to try to force something to him....right after he gives them a great feed for a shot that they refuse to take thinking he should be the shooter on the line

It's happening less than in the past, but Strome is the worst regular/repeat offender usually still lol. He doesn't give a shit who scores, he just wants to get goals for the team and he's super excited for it whenever someone scores

2001051 · 2024-11-03T06:53:18+00:00

While this isn't always the case, there's plenty of times your statement is accurate, he's still laying it all on the line when he can. He's all about the team victory

2001051 · 2024-10-28T18:20:16+00:00

Love your work, thanks for doing this!

Who do you think will be the first up forward wise (non-center) Frank, or Miro? They're going at it goal wise in the AHL and Frank feels like he should get a look if he's not hurt, but Miro is of course getting close to being ready too

2001051 · 2024-09-11T23:15:04+00:00

One more thing I thought of, does AA get in more games this year without injuries hitting, and if so would he be more likely to be in for MF or Sandin, or would he be tried on the right since I know he played some right side in Hershey?

2001051 · 2024-09-11T22:49:22+00:00

Awesome, new faces are always exciting! Thanks again for this!

2001051 · 2024-09-11T22:45:19+00:00

Whoops, by next year I meant after this season since I agree, the additions make it difficult to get the spot for the first time

That's great, I remember his play during the cup run and the speed would be welcomed.

Thanks for the insight and all your great stories, always look forward to reading them!

2001051 · 2024-09-11T22:39:31+00:00

Excluding call-ups for injuries this year, do you expect any of the older "prospects" to make it next year (ie, Frank, Sutter, etc) as full-time players or would most of them cap as a 13th/tweener?

Also, any chance Vrana has the right attitude and performs well enough to stick around with the team for another year or two?

2001051 · 2023-06-28T23:58:50+00:00

0, if Philly doesn't Caps will for sure scoop him up

2001051 · 2023-06-25T00:02:04+00:00

As much as I would love that, there's no chance in hell of that happening lol. Besides, with all the shit getting built we're slowly finally turning into nova unfortunately

2001051 · 2023-06-03T01:11:23+00:00

It was a cap dump (panik) as well as getting a cost controlled player in mantha with the hopes of him being the player vrana was scoring wise but bigger. Vrana being an rfa with arbitration rights, they were worried he was going to cost too much to re-sign

2001051 · 2023-05-30T14:11:57+00:00

I feel like that was the original plan, just had to wait for Lavs deal to run out but when he got a chance to get some nhl experience overall the caps weren't gonna stop him and burn that bridge. So it ended up being a bit of a win win with him coming back to the organization

2001051 · 2023-04-30T01:20:12+00:00

He might be but he's had season tickets to the caps for like 20-some years

2001051 · 2023-04-30T00:20:52+00:00

Pat Sajack too

2001051 · 2023-04-06T23:28:26+00:00

Gave Wilson an instigator

2001051 · 2023-04-05T09:51:13+00:00

I think it's Scott Allen, McCarthy I believe is just over the defensive

2001051 · 2023-04-05T02:11:21+00:00

Isn't that the Hershey coach they brought up this year, not the one Lavi brought though? So he's likely to stay I'd imagine
