I also prefer being ignored a bit. They also ignored us for long past when we were balling in regular season. So let them sleep on us.
Would love for the Caps to give us an easy one for once. But I'm not holding my breath. LOL
the caps dont do that. We should all know that by now. Bite the pillow, this is at least going 6 or 7
My goalie gut tells me LT starts Game 1. Fever with an ankle injury, can be tricky so I say Protas comes back in the series before Fever does.
Fever finished the game where he hurt his ankle , so I suspect he's just resting it, not going to miss time.
LT out has more of an impact than Protas. But Fever out would hurt a bit.
Protas will have to hard tape with a wrap and just gut it out. Proper healing would take too long.
Players can sometimes play on a hurt ankle because the foot is still warm. It's a soon as you take the skate boot off that there can be bigger swelling. Also, taking the skate off the ankle can stiffen. Depending on how severe the ankle injury is, you can freeze spray it, numb it, or wrap it up. Then it depends on the players pain tolerance.
That's what I'm looking for, they gotta move their feet. When they skate, they play more physical. I remember the Edmonton game earlier in the season, where McDavid said something to the effect of "they just come at you in waves". That's how we played the first 3/4 of the season, if we get back to that, I'm confident we make this a short series.
