Hockey game will start @ 2PM ... or ... 10 hours later.
Or maybe NHL can just rescheduled it again in March.

Exactly. I would say as of now the window is indeed closed. They need to inject some youth into the line-up and re-tool. Of course they could still make the playoffs and anything can happen then but I would say their days as a bonafide cup contender are done...for now.Watching the Caps lately I've been thinking "Oh, this is what it looks like when your window is closing"..
Surprise win incoming. 4-1 Caps.
So much doom and gloom, you would think we were the Redwings. No prediction for the game, but here are some GDT predictions.
-someone will call for Lavi to be fired
-kuzy needs cocaine and traded post
-Carlson is high
-panik is the worst capital ever take
-we have the worst goalies in the NHL post
-and lastly, at some point in the first period someone wil declare the game over
wouldn’t really be a surprise. This team tries when you don’t expect it and doesn’t when you do. /shrug
I’m having a hard time interpreting Anderson starting any way other than that the Samsonov situation is really bad.

I think you could view it two ways:
Either way, I agree that they must have some significant reservations if they’re giving Anderson his first start after playing a rookie for 13 straight. If we had a nice points cushion, maybe they’d prioritise getting Samsonov to an ideal comfort level before throwing him back in there, but with things so tight we could really do with the win.
- His physical conditioning is still not where it needs to be, because from what Samsonov said COVID-19 really hit him hard (trouble breathing and walking at points). Perhaps he didn’t feel great in Hershey, where his play was rather inconsistent. Or
- He’s recovered from COVID-19 (or 98% there), but they don’t want to put him back in net until he’s addressed the things that caused his poor start pre-COVID, and poor performance in his Hershey return
With Dell in the other net, I would not be surprised if this is a high-scoring affair both ways.
