If you wanna get REAL technical, they're in third place by points percentage, as Charlotte and WBS somehow still have 5-6 less games played. Obviously that won't matter by the end of the season when everyone's played the same number of games. But you're right that they'd have to completely implode to miss the playoffs, especially given that the expanded POs with the qualifying round exists.tough homestand. They have a long season as well. Still in first place. Will almost surely make the playoffs. they are deep with deployable talent. But they definitely need to find some chemistry which has been missing all year.
Not much, I don't think. Frank started that year on the third line with Lapierre and was on the first line with Sgarbossa and Vecchione. By the playoffs, Protas was on the third line with Lapierre and Anas, and McMichael was on the second line with Snively and Pilon. 22-23 was the only season all three were on the team for any extended period.Bears fans... Can you tell me how much CMM and Protas played with Frank these past 3 seasons? Thanks
I have watched sporadically. He was carrying the puck well which is what he is good at. needs to figure out how to apply that in NHL. but overall noticeable in a good way.For those who are watching the games, how is Lappy playing? I see he has one assist since returning which seems…not good.
Excessive, I thought watching it he'd get a couple but five seems like a lot. Guess they're looking to set an example.Dube gets 5 games for abuse of officials. Bumped into the ref on the way to the box and was screaming at him
It’s automatically three so maybe the other 2 fit what he was saying?Excessive, I thought watching it he'd get a couple but five seems like a lot. Guess they're looking to set an example.
They seem to be not that good, simple as that. Both should be candidates for a trade if Caps are looking to make a splash.Judging by the stat line, Miro and Lappy seem to be struggling. For people who are actually watching games, what is going on with these two?
Thanks for the observations. I was just going off the stat line.Miro has points in three straight (including a goal last night) and is always physically engaged. His assist Friday night was a laser on the powerplay that was tipped by Limoges. My biggest gripe with him is he had two point blank chances from the slot last night that he couldn't bury. Lappy's points are a bit more bunched up but he's still close to a point per game, although he hasn't scored a goal yet. I admittedly did expect him to be producing a little more than he has, but he hasn't looked bad or anything when I've watched. How good are you guys expecting them to be? Aucoin/Giroux levels of AHL production?
