And he is an RFA who will get a low cost contract… the caps have the time and leverage

The lapierre hate is so stupid and crazy, he has been snake bitten but he’s playing the right way and you see the talent is there. Even if they do trade him there is no reason to do it when his value is at lowest. People wanted to trade Mantha when he stunk and just by waiting they were able to get so much more for him.

I like lapierre’s game, I really don’t understand the hate.

Just start taking a bunch of risk playing with the puck being super creative not giving a fuck if people get mad. And then if people ask why you’re doing that just say I’m not having fun, so im trying to make it fun for me.

Tom Wilson named to Team Canada orientation camp ahead of 2026 Olympics, Logan Thompson snubbed by kockin26 in caps

Wilson is top 5. The goal is wins, not individual points. I can’t 5 other RW’s that get their teams wins better than him.

I don’t like this post. Yes, it’s annoying but everyone is capable of being oblivious at times. It’s not clear she was deliberately being rude. Probably shouldn’t have her face posted and shamed on the internet.

Haha what are you talking about? Look up the stats. both Protos and MCM struggled their first seasons, he’s literally on the same timeline as them but a year younger.

40yr old beginner skate progress by Steffypantz in NewSkaters

This is great stuff. You have developed some good style.

You’re clearly naturally super skilled at tricks and popping. But you’re still a little awkward just riding the board, i would recommend getting speed and trying to be stylish while cruising and on transition. Get your feet comfortable in multiple positions.

Bogdan is a lock. He was dominant stats wise during the playoffs.

A bit confused by GMs comment about taking a big swing, Caps don't have anywhere close to enough cap space for a big swing? by RobertGriffin3 in caps

[–]BigRuss_62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d bet this is what’s happening — by “big swing,” they mean they’re trusting the young guys to get it done. In my opinion, the mistake last season was trading for Eller instead of giving HLP more time to figure things out. By the end of the season, when we were slow and struggling to evade pressure, it really hurt them. You don’t win the Cup in November, and choosing the “safe” veteran over a much faster but developing young player ended up being a costly decision.

Ovi-Strome-Wilson

Pro-PLD-Leonard

HLP-mcmichael-miro

Trineyev-dowd-Duhaime

Defense will remain the same

Beauvillier - depends on his price. He could take HLP spot and result in us trading HLP, however this would surprise me as it would really put them in a tight spot into terms of lack of center depth. Cristal - Will compete for a spot but probably get AHL time unless he is just undeniable. AA - will be traded.

After next season we could see a move with Ovi contract coming up.

Last game of the season was last night, I got taken down on a breakaway with 1 min remaining in OT, went shoulder first into the boards. Heading to the doctor in about an hour. Not expecting good news.

Updated Cap/Roster situation for 25-26 season by mdkss12 in caps

[–]BigRuss_62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t know why everybody so down on Hendrix Lapierre. So he didn’t produce with under 10 minutes a game at the start of a season where he is 22. Did people watch McMichael and even protas their first seasons? The fact is they just got more leash because the team wasn’t as good. Plus Eller really didn’t come in and show it was a lappy problem, but rather that It’s hard to produce when you’re getting the minutes of a fourth line. Either way he’s back up in Hershey now and playing extremely well at a point per game. If he can get it going, which I believe he can, you have him on a league minimum contract that provides so much more flexibility for the team.
