LDBB with two more assists (secondary) last night. He now has 9 Goals and 17 Points in his last 11 Games including something like four multi-pointers and just one game with no points. Offensively speaking the kid is clearly playing with a lot of confidence right now.

I laughed when in the pre-season the Caps play x play announcer Joe Beninati said every time he called his name he thought of "Bell Biv DeVoe". You young'uns might not get that reference.

How are we defining "young'uns" in this context? Because I have no idea what that's supposed to be about and while it's impossible for me to be "old" so long as my parents are still around, I'm pretty firmly into Middle Age at this point.

Well then maybe it's a geographic thing. I would assume by now you have looked them up so you know they were an early 90s thing...which is kinda after my time since I was a product of the 80s.

Good for Pinelli! Certainly a surprise, when I heard he made the fringe cut I was pretty sure he wouldn't make the final team.

Oiva Keskinen got an assist on the tying goal on the powerplay and then the deciding shootout goal in a 4-3 win for Tappara yesterday. (Video for the recap but not sure if it's geoblocked.) Nothing special as such, the shootout goal was smooth but not spectacular, but what I like is that he's being relied on in these situations. PP1, shootout, it's good for the kid. He's a long shot to ever make the NHL but every step is progress. (I'm just following him in a "stats and highlights" kind of way FYI.)

why do you feel he’s such a long shot to make the NHL someday? is it because of the round he was drafted in?
