And it does seem like there’s a chance Ferland and/or Svech could be back in the next game or two.

Probably not.

But we do have a bunch of kids in the system who can score would probably like nothing more to fly around in front of 18,000 crazy ass fans.

What an intense finish!!....Goaltending and defense seem to be melding together into something special!! Getting excited, but trying to keep my hopes in check....

DOPS is reviewing the Foegele hit, prepare to get fuged.

[Popsickle]

Just saw Oshi "could be out significant time". 

Looked live that during the hit his wrist may have broken. 

Sucks for him, I hate it when any player is hurt. None of them deserve it. 

But we need to capitalize on Saturday

If Foegele gets suspended for that hit, the league is in on a fix. That is utterly ridiculous. Suspensions for boarding REQUIRE intent to do so. It was a soft check to his low back/hip that happens 1000 times per game both ways. He lost his edge and went into the boards hard.

 

If we're suspending people, there were checks delivered by the Caps DIRECTLY to Canes player's necks. There were several high sticks and at least one boarding no call. There's Ovi instigating a 19 year old rookie for 2 and 1/3 games. Suspend those fugers and we'll call it square.

Saw an alternate video (now I can’t find it), but it wasn’t even the push.

Oshie caught an edge, Foegele tapped him, then accidentally slashed him (trying to lift his stick). The slash caused Oshie to fall and he slid into the boards. Unfortunate result but I don’t have any sympathy for a team with Tom Wilson and Brooks Orpik on it.

I was wondering about that after I posted that Oshi might be out. 

I'm not a die-hard NHL fan, I don't know how they access penalties. 

If Oshi is done for the year would they retroactively increase a/the penalty?

It's an element. Nikita Kucharov got a game for a far worse play a couple games back. Foegele MAY get a game because it's the Caps and they are the NBC darlings for the league. If it is one game, fine. If they suspend him for the series, I'll flip. The reason I say that is because they tossed him back in game 1 for the hip check that wasn't close to being a shot to the head but they called it anyway. The league may consider that and Washington demanding it may sway the NHL Player Safety folks in that direction. 

 

We're down several guys and the Caps are known for being dirty fugs, so we're about to get super screwed over here if Foegele goes out but they don't lose guys for the no-call boarding, the high stick that drew blood on Teravainen, the several unnecessary hits away from plays on defenseless players. If Brindy or somebody in the office doesn't review that game and send in clips to the league demanding action, I'll be disappointed.

Thanks for the info!  

Hopefully we make it out clean.

Honestly, they are probably just going to come back and injure Foegele.

It sucks but that’s the type of team the Caps are. They win on dirty play and physicality. No one has matched their physicality like this in quite some time because most teams know it will result in multiple trips to the hospital.

At this point it is what it is.. we have Sareela, Necas, and Gauthier all on a tear right now in Charlotte and when it comes to depth Washington can’t even hold our jock strap.

We just have to keep playing our game.

[MillionDollarCam]

We could get swept by the Islanders for all I care but if we beat Washington I will be more than happy.

That team and fan base are insufferable fugtards.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I hope there isn't a suspension for that hit.  That hit happens all the time and rarely ever do you see a guy fly 5+ feet with forward momentum into the boards face first.  I thought he tried to really sell it, and it looks like it backfired.

[Proudiddy]

Welp, Melrose said on Sportscenter that he thinks Foegele should and will be suspended next game.  He also still picked us to win the series.
