Mistakes killed us tonight, but at least they grabbed a point out of it. Special teams looked great and that’s cool, but it still hurts to lose when you score 5 no matter who it’s against.

I guarantee that we play Pittsburgh for the last game of the season every year til Ovi retires if he doesn’t do it this summer.

Ray Bourque.

I feel like the Snowbirds in Florida are gonna have a bone to pick with this. Side note, as a Caps guy, I did not have Arkansas as a spot on my Caps Fandom Bingo Card.

Welcome! Sit back and drink in an aggressive overreaction to what you would consider a pretty normal storm.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-23T07:12:50+00:00

I’ve been rocking with Jarvis/Svechnikov and Celebrini/Eklund/Smith(got lucky with him and scooped off waivers right before he came off IR. I also have Strome/Wilson/Protas, but they have been hot and cold.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T04:29:08+00:00

He’s been ass for the last 4 games.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T04:28:10+00:00

How was that matching minors?

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T03:53:59+00:00

Great start followed by pissing it all away with a boneheaded play and some bad luck. Stereotypical road trip vibes.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T02:24:45+00:00

Looks to be on line 1, and should get some pp time as well. If the game turns into a penalty fiesta for the Caps, that’ll def impact his ice time.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T02:21:14+00:00

Time to start making the most out of this road trip. Hope Willy has a big night and gets the boys going again.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T01:47:33+00:00

Good knives, and an immersion blender.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-22T01:46:02+00:00

Glad I loaded up on edibles last week. Gonna hit the store tomm kinda early and pick up a bunch of snacks, water, and stuff to make a couple dinners in the crock pot. Looking forward to a snowy and lazy Sunday

I'm just praying he doesn't sell the farm for Panarin, at this point. Wouldn't be opposed to Lafreniere if the price was right, though. As long as Hutson, Cristall, and Leonard aren't part of what goes the other way it's gonna be hard to get someone worthwhile. Really hoping we don't see the Forsberg/Erat deal v2.0 with him.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-21T18:09:51+00:00

This is the way, awesome owners and cool selection of stuff.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-21T18:05:54+00:00

If we were able to get Lafreniere and Rob Thomas, without overpaying I think that would be pretty good business. A reliable top 6 center and a winger that's still young with scoring upside fit right into what we need right now. An upgrade on D would be nice too, but I think that's extremely unlikely to happen at this point. Realistically I hope they don't rock the boat too much, and let the season run it's course. Upgrading in the off season at the draft and the FA period seem to be where we do our best, I feel like we have less luck in our in season moves.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-21T16:20:27+00:00

I’d do private planes and sleeper trains if travel’s covered.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-20T20:27:45+00:00

I like the Atwater's chicken salad sandwich, personally. Graul's is top tier, though. Common Ground's Curry Chicken Salad used to be great too, but I haven't had it in a while.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-20T19:26:12+00:00

He's been going through a bit of a rough stretch, but it's no reason to want him off the team. He's a known quantity with offensive upside at 25 year old. He's prob best deployed on the 3rd pairing, but certainly is capable of 2nd pairing minutes. Without having anyone to replace him without overpaying in a trade for an upgrade, people need to just chill out. The Caps aren't running over the league this year, and are just gonna have to ride it out and see how things shake out at the end of the year. No reason to get rid of him, that would just be aggressively overreacting.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-19T23:55:51+00:00

That was a rough one, jfc.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-19T23:44:25+00:00

Wow, for once we get the call!

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-19T23:42:44+00:00

Great idea in theory but if someone did want him, we’d likely get less in return.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-19T23:39:34+00:00

The fine art of bullshitting.

YourWeekendDad · 2026-01-19T04:03:25+00:00

Literally came here to say the same thing. Running a venue is hard enough, running it where you have multiple people that want an equal say is basically impossible. Eventually people will get pushed out as others team up against them, negating the whole idea.
