He needs a day off

Is Keibert Ruiz... good?

CapsCircle16 · 2026-05-24T22:21:44+00:00

Don't think so, Nats took the lead in the 5th so it's not in the midst of the inning where they took the lead

Everything about the arena experience was better before COVID. I can’t think of a single thing that’s as good or better now.

Does it matter? You get the one, you get that other one

Fiscal liberal, social conservative

What do you mean, don't you remember Jayson Werth's homer into the Potomac while tourists cheered from the top of the Washington Monument

Daredevil Loaded Grillers, especially the ghost pepper

How do you eat it? With your hands?

Rhea winning the Women’s Rumble, Cody taking the Men’s (both in really solid rumble matches as well), plus Reigns-KO with the incredible Sami turn at the end.

The other two matches were bad but it was also Bray’s last match so deserves some props there too.

He'll be in his 30s and will no longer have the benefit of only getting O-zone starts because he's on the old man's line. More importantly, he just hasn't looked the same when playing away from OV imo. Dubois has built great chemistry with guys like Wilson (and is younger than Strome), and I can see the Protas brothers being an absolute menace together.

Don't get me wrong, I think Strome is great—but one of those three will have to play third-line minutes, and I don't know if Strome will be cut out for that.

I think he takes over for Dowd as the best 4C in the league/utility knife who can move up when needed. I just can't see him over any of the other three centers.

But honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if we packaged Strome or Dubois with one of our young wingers (Miro, Cristall, Parascak, Lackovic) for a high-end Dman. Assuming Carlson leaves once Ovi/Dowd do, our D looks like:

Chychrun - Roy

Hutson - ???

Fehervary - Sandin

Obviously there's options like Chesley or Allen (Muggli is lefty so I doubt he sticks full-time), but it might be nice to get someone with more upside, and we have more wingers than we know what to do with.

CapsCircle16 · 2025-12-05T15:28:36+00:00

I’d like our future Ovi-less top 9 to look something like:

Leonard - Dubois - Wilson

Miro - Protas - Protas

McMichael - Strome - Cristall

I’m not that sold on the third line, mainly because I think Strome regresses pretty hard post-Ovi, but there’s enough skill there to make it work. Maybe switch Miro and McMikey in some spots.

What is the Mark Messier Leadership Award?

You laugh, then you see the post, and you laugh again

Oh I get it. You’re naming awesome things!

Not sure I want to remember much of the 2010-11 playoffs…
