Caps @ Canes GNT | 7:00 PM ET

I think BB has a hard job ahead of him, who to keep in the lineup, who to scratch. When Green comes back, Hamrlik should get a night off, worst defenseman the past 2 games.

OV's response to the "Benching" hasn't been as impressive as I thought it'd be

I think the overpassing that you mentioned earlier may have come from that. His first instinct is to figure out the best way to get a shot off, and I'm sure the talking-to he got was "don't take everyone on one-on-one all the time, get your teammates involved." We don't want him to lose his shooting instincts, though. He needs to find that happy medium.

He's looked overly slow these past couple games.

Congrats Mr. Ginger

Don't have a problem with that, more of his positioning and his seemingly lackadaisical play without the puck.

Thoughts on the game...

-Carlzner keep getting better and better. Their offensive contributions are what they have been, but they are taking their defense to another level - both of them.
-Awesome that Eakin went out and got his first goal (did you know he's only 20 years old?). The depth we have now is incredible and while it's going to make the nightly lineup difficult for BB, good problem to have.
-This team is finally combining big talent with hard work. I LOVE how they work every night. Even Semin is churning the skates more.
-Glad to see Neuvy go out and have a great night.
-Last year was so hard to watch at times - this is fucking fun!

Is there any chance the Caps miss their plane tonight? I don't know who's going to be in goal for the Islanders. They would probably lose if they played all three at the same time. I just hope it's not too ugly.

By the way plenty of tickets are still available. Islanders fans are fed up with Snow's lack of activity.
