WASHINGTON CAPITALS VS DETROIT REDWINGS
41-20-10, 92pts ------------ 41-20-8, 90pts
2nd in East ----------------- 2nd in West

Let's Go Redwings!
3 Things:
1) TRADE SEMIN!
2) FUCK SLOAN!
3) LET'S GO CAPS!![]()
But Sloan still isn't a regular in the lineup, so we'd still have to make a choice between who to sit, and I would sit Schultz, but it'll probably be Big Johnny Erskine
Over Schultz? Most under appreciated member of the Caps, IMO. Buries guys in the corner. Isn't flashy about it. Doesn't blow people up. But takes someone out of the play. I like to do voiceovers for Schultz when watching the game sometimes...
"Hey there, guy... that was a nice move... just gotta hold you here on the boards a little longer... you comfortable?... oh sorry, didn't mean to pinch your neck...okay, there, it's out of the zone... you have a great day now..."
Erskine is having his best year as a Cap, but I don't think he's top 6 with the crew we've built now (Carly/Alzner growing up, Hannan added, Wideman added). If you look at when Schutlz returned from his injury - the D has been solid ever since. Erskine is the best brawler on the team though and I give him props for his improvement this year. Impressive at his age.
(PS - Edit - I'm assuming Poti is done for the year btw making the top 6 Carlson, Alzner, Schutlz, Green, Wideman, Hannan in no particular order. Pretty good group too since you have a big body and a good puck mover for each pair.)
