So you gotta start Martin again, right? Yeah, I know it’s less than 24 hours after his last game, and that’s a rough situation. But it gets PK a little extra time to recover from his injury, and that’s better for the team long term.
I think it’s a question of how Kochetkov feels and how Martin feels. If Martin is exhausted and Kochetkov feels good, go with him. If Kochetkov still feels a little unsteady and Martin feels good, go with Martin.

Do they go with Perets? I don’t think so, but if Kochetkov needs more time and Martin is exhausted from yesterday it’s the best long term move.

I just took a quick glance and Martin has played back to back day on a decent number of occasions in his AHL career. That's not the NHL but I think he can handle it. I think most goalies can it's just become less normal with more stats and sports science and worry of goalie injury. If they have reason to believe it'll just be this one time, it shouldn't be a big deal.

The Blue Note boys have challenged us to a stickpuck duel.

Here is RBAs response


Ready your weapons (gifs, propaganda, false information, and of course sticks) for our face off.

That picture reminds me of that knight Mandorallen from the Belgeriad. Challenging a guy he deemed unworthy and accidentally hitting him in the face instead of hit landing at his feet

Or you go with Perets but he's gonna give up at least 3 (but likely 4 minimum) so they'd have to just out score the problem.

hello fellas, caps fan coming (as always lol) in peace. could you tell me what happened to Burnsie goal scoring ability this season? he's one of my all time favourites players and i can see a huge drop in both goals scored (still zero) and more concerning - number of SOG's (averaging "only" two per game, not an impressive number by his standards). Is he bit unlucky? Nursing an injury? (hand/wrist) or he's just almost 40 years old and its expected at some point? thanks in advance and GL tonight!

He’s been taken off the top powerplay unit, and instead relegated to playing a net front presence on the second unit. That might explain some of it. But honestly, I think age is probably the most likely reason. He’s older, he isn’t as quick on his skates, meaning he’s having more trouble creating open shooting lanes. In addition, it’s riskier to get a shot blocked, as his acceleration isn’t what it once was. And Burns is a smart player, so he knows this, and is looking for the pass more often.

Less PP time and he gets blocked a lot. But what is the name of your fantasy team?

Haha not this time. Tried it a few years ago and i was simply terrible. I'm just curious about the player i like ever since Minnesota years.

Lets say its a jinx post and he'll pot one against the Blues
