Yep. I corrected it. Jagr had his day in 2003. Against FLA. Was 12-2. But Jagr only had 7pts

F that guy…

 

[Ridley Simon]

Meh. I don’t much care about him. He was never really “a Capital”. Of course I wish he’d have been a leader and played his heart out — but that not the kind of dude he is.

Was always a bad match.

“We” were fine….he was a whackadoo….

Pretty crazy to me that Sullivan is still coaching the Pens. I think he’s a really good coach but you’d assume they’d be pulling all the levers they can to get in the playoffs given their recent offseason moves and lack of futures.

Imagine trading for EK65, not having draft capital, and missing the playoffs? Woof.

I do remember hanging with Jagr’s parents a bunch of time at Nik and Stefs (steakhouse before that area was Green Turtle). Man those were some drunken nights watching bad hockey.

Irish car bombs in the front bar there baby!

Isn't he still in the first or second year of a big new contract? That may be a factor.

Here's good ol' Busty McByfield, doing NHL bust things again

 

[Devil Dancer]

Think the Kings are still looking to move him?

100%. I think Kuznetsov will be involved…..maybe a pick too

 

[twabby]

On a completely, totally unrelated note: Tom Wilson now has 3 points in the last 25 games, one of which was an empty net goal.

Not sure why watching a Quinton Byfield goal of the year candidate reminded of that fact!

 

[PlushMinus]

Wow - hell of a goal

 

[um]

I’m sure you’ll come up with a new fantasy trade for Wilson.

Man, poor CMM couldn’t even last a few hours as the GOTN.

The way Byfield goes skate to stick, while lifting Werenski’s stick, is insane. And then finishes it all off, in one continuous motion, with that power backhand. Chef’s kiss.

That was a very impressive goal, but he was a second overall pick or whatever he’s just playing up to his ranking right now

Sure but he's also 21. Not every top draft pick is going to come out gangbusters as a rookie.

Promising winger now…couldn’t hack the C spot!

 

[max21]

Matthews is on a freaking tear

 

[AlexModvechkin8]

The Devils STINK. I know they have some injuries but they’re awful.

The best ex Caps goalie in the league right now is... Semyon Valamov?

Pretty easily, at least right now.

 

[Ridley Simon]

all of NJ, TB, DET won in reg. NYI lost. Philly is playing now (only down 1-0).

Man the Caps need points tonite, but I don’t see it. Florida is freaking crushing teams

 

[Marshall]

TBL@NJD has direct consequences pertaining to Caps' playoff hopes.

 

[trick9]

Hagel puts Tampa up 3-1 with 10 minutes left.

Win here puts Tampa 8 points ahead.

Philly @ Pens starting soon.
