Both dinged, I think.

Expect to see Lemieux tonight?

Anyway, let's see if the Cowardly Caps wanna play hockey tonight or will they just try to play keep away?

Edit: Sorry for the long post. 

Noesen has/had the flu/covid going around the league. Necas got his shoulder fuged up by Orlov in practice yesterday(it was an open practice and somebody got it on film, I’ll post below.) No word on Fasty, but since he wasn’t at practice I think he’s still in the protocol. 

Clearly he got his shoulder crunched, on a not even that hard hit by Orlov.

If all three can’t go we’d only have 17 skaters even with Lemieux and TDA aka 10-7 tonight. Which would be really hard on the guys on a back to back. Thus the need for a 11th forward.

If all three of our starters can’t go I’d frankly have brought Suzuki and Pono up(if we had the roster space) with Drury and gotten a good look at them on a line together. But sadly we don’t have the roster space so TDA it would be. 

That said I suspect Pono is just insurance for the back to back in case someone else gets dinged up. Though I really want to see him play at the top level. 11-7 with 3 missing starters on the road vs a division rival isn’t the best situation to throw him into.

As far as physicality goes. Probably not a better lineup you could have out there sans Noesen. Svechnikov, Bunting, Lemiuex, Orlov, and DeAngelo should all provide a physical presence.

Lemieux and Wilson had a nice fight in 2019, it’ll be interesting to see if that rivalry is renewed.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
