My friend in the other room was relaying information to me. Didn't watch a second of the game!

I've been busy playing Final Fantasy 7: Remake: Part 2: Rebirth.

A Meadowfoam traditional mead with a slice of cheesecake actually. Meadowfoam honey has a really cool toasted marshmallow flavor and makes for an awesome dessert mead. It's actually one traditional I prefer on the sweeter side.

Alcohol with cheesecake?? You sir are some kind of monster!

(Then again, it's possible I am doing it wrong. I like to keep my drinking and my dessert eating separate).

I can’t get over that Lappy goal. So ridiculous!

If that was Crosby, all of hockey media would have passed out for 2 days.

Wasn't able to watch the game. Watched the highlights just now. Wow, I'm the first to admit I didn't think they were sniffing the playoffs this season. Glad to be wrong though.

So much respect for these guys. They are playing hard and exuding some great chemistry as a team. I love the idea of them making it into the playoffs with no expectations and just saying "Let's see how deep we can go". Could be a magical run!!

Murray may be every other goalie's kryptonite, but you have to give him at least a little credit for Chuckie. Dude was a career AHLer before. Whatever Murray's selling, it works for Lindgren.

Eh. He was stellar with the Blues and overall as a pro in '21-22 before signing. It was a mere five games with the Blues, though, and his AHL numbers didn't pop up until that season so it was tough to say if it was a legit breakthrough. I'd chalk it up equally to their scouting identifying him as a break-out talent. If anything looking at his pro career I wonder what Montreal did or didn't do that led to a sort of plateauing (though perhaps it was just a case of maturing and not being on strong teams). It can be tough for undrafted guys to make that jump from a #3 to winning a back-up spot. '21-22 earned him that and credit to him he's run with it. Classic late bloomer.

Also backs up my take about who the goalie coach is maybe don’t matter that much!

I do find it funny that Kuemper failure is on Murray but Lindgren success is on…well definitely not Murray!!

Yes indeed, good sir. I've had notes on Lindgren going back about 7 years, wondering why he never got the starting role given his stellar numbers in limited backup games

Edit: you put it down to "oh well I guess the org knows best what this guy's upside is" but then a few fall through the cracks every season

During the Bears Calder Cup run last spring and into June, the question arose as to whether that run - and many of its ingredients, such as Mikey, Lappy, Protas, Malenstyn (you could also add Sgarbossa, who ain’t young, but he plays like he is) - were demonstrating that the Caps prospect pool was significantly undervalued around the NHL. I think this year has shown the answer is a resounding yes
