Speculation: Caps Roster General Discussion (Coaching/FAs/Cap/Lines/etc) | 2024-25 Summer Edition

Wish we would go back to the real originals - large font, each letter sewn on directly to the front. Classic as any original 6 or original 12 jersey (Kings also need to get back to the original purple and gold - Islanders and Sabres have gotten there and they get it).

Happy to let you young'uns decide on whatever Weagle Eagle design you want for the 3rd.

We should have seen Ovi in this...

Those are the worst. Especially the black and white ones

The red one totally surprised me with how much I liked it, but otherwise yes. The black and blue era was 100% suck.

30 pts max

Protas had 29 points last year. If he shoots at a pedestrian 10% (instead of 5%) and plays regularly in the top 9, I'd say 40 points seems reasonable (12 goals, 28 assists range).

In terms of jerseys, my only wish is that the Capitals stick with red/white/blue with red as the primary color.

The red one is sort ok the others blow.

Can't stand any Jersey ads. Will actively avoid any jersey advertiser if at all possible, as they are, to a degree, ruining it for me. Makes me WANT to stop watching and do other things - kinda stupid strategy the league has with this as the additional revenue isnt that big. I know a lot of other older traditional fans also feel that way.

As for the Caps I don't gamble or Tic tok so whatever. Just feel distanced from the game more by it. But still Go Caps, so I guess they don't care.

Amen to that! Creeping into Euro football jersey territory. Owners gonna monetize everything.

For awhile, Cap Centre had "HOME DEPOT" painted on all the stair risers - if not all, at least the ones across from where we sat. No opt-out for that!

Pacioretty signs a PTO with the Leafs.

This is the guy who vetoed Bmac trading him because he didn't want to move his family - pfft what a jerk.

Just heard Peat passed away....RIP

Very sad. Believe he was homeless living out his truck at one point and suffered from severe memory loss, depression, and migraines. Very likely he'll sadly be the next in a growing line of former NHLers confirmed to have CTE.

Former NHLer Stephen Peat passes away at 44

The Princeton, British Columbia native was originally drafted No. 32 overall in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft by the Mighty...

Seriously. I know precisely dick about diagnostic medicine, but at some point, the list of outcomes... homelessness, etc... have to be recognized as indicators, or maybe secondary symptoms... don't they?

Agree. The indicators and signs are out there. Wake up NHL and figure out how to get these former players some help. It’s a good investment in humanity. And if that isn’t good enough, then how about the capitalist view which is it is good for your brand. Either way, little help please!

 

[PlushMinus]

Very sad. RIP Stephen Peat.

That sucks balls. Sorry #51.

Godspeed to him and his inner circle of family/friends

Its a generational thing but not sure younger hockey fans realize why it was necessary to have the heavy weights. I hope the NHL does the right when it comes to health care for the vets.

Agreed on all fronts

I would be fine with Vrana on nacho duty and a extra skater to start the season. This is the NHL every one gets hurt in a 82 game season.

I think he's going to surprise some people with how good he still is.

I sure hope so. Our LW depth stinks big time.

Yea i think they’ll change them when ovi’s done. They look outdated. Hopefully they go back to the originals and stay with them. So gorgeous.
