GDT: Maybe? Caps @ isles 12:30pm edit: yes!!! All due respect to The Great One, but The Great 8 stands alone atop the mountain

Three of the final four teams is a mixed bag?

I don't see how we can just wave away their current form. It reeks of the Flip The Switch years under Trotz, and we know what happened there.

It's 3 of 5 hottest teams down the stretch so 60% vs 40%. And in previous years it was similar or worse. And if you look at the hottest 5 teams down the stretch and compare to the Cup winner there is no correlation. It's close to coin flip.
 
At the about 1:07 mark in the below video, OV gives Protas a hug on the bench. Makes me wonder if Pro has been on the bench all game? I'd imagine if he wasn't, he might've been in the suite with Oshie, Backstrom, Ted, et. al. (Or wherever else injured players sit.)


Pretty sure I saw Alexeyev on the bench in a suit for that too - suspect all the scratches were there. In theory that could have included Backstrom and Oshie, but I’m guessing they stayed with DSP because they are, to all intents and purposes, no longer on the team?

was Logan Thompson on hand to witness?

Ah, good call, I hadn't seen AA. It would make sense that the scratches were together. I guess they could've been somewhere else and made it to the bench within the ~5 minutes between goal and those hugs.

Caps are stinking but it shan’t spoil my mood.

Carolina better be ready for a revenge game on Thursday.
I am with you. I’d rather win, but not going to pop a blood vessel over losing this one.

And great that they have three non-game days. Probably a day off tomorrow and optional practice on Tuesday. Real practice on Wednesday.
 
All hail our king!

Did I hear correct Ovi thanking the Isle's G for letting it in? EDIT JoeB just confirmed.
