i'm a stars/caps fan, i watched thompson play against us in the first round. If you need more references of thompson's ceiling, watch game 3 of stars vs golden knights
Hi there, I'm listening to most of your podcast editions and like the depth and detail of information you share with us. Very professional, but one question remains - what's wrong with your camera? more or less the worst light ever seen on a podcast. Looks like you put kind of a light green matrix filter on. To sum it it - very nice podcast for my ears, very bad for my eyes...
Was nice to see some more of the veterans tonight. Strome was great as usual, Thompson was looking solid even when left hanging, and the 4th line is looking good.
I believe all the best player will play one exhibition game. In Columbus to honour the dead player. A game NOBODY important would bother dressfor had the former flame survived cycling on a dark road in the rain without any form of lighting. They’ll play to honour him or ovie will speak on the big screen. I loved playing Johnny bla bla bla. We stand Columbus strong. I now no longer salute my brother alone when I score in bunches this season. I also salute the great Johnny hockey and his amazing brother (who he never even knew existed).
Martha gone. Probably not happy he only got a one year deal with Calgary. Wil need to deliver the goods for another contract. A multi year deal was what he wanted, but gm’s all over the league have exposed his attitude. He doesn’t have the passion when the long term contract is locked. He takes it easy up til contract year. The rest of his career may very well be contract seasons. He will have to deliver each and every season to stay in league. I see him playing for many teams before it’s all over. Perhaps he’ll get another short stint in Washington through deadline trade.
Said this yesterday!….. SADLY. ❤️❤️❤️❤️OSHIE! Such a great person and player. But I prefer his health!…. And a more consistent player. GREAT POINT ABOUT THEM WAITING UNTIL NOW!!
@@grassmanBoca Oshie and Backstrom are injured and can't play The (LTIR) rule allows teams to exceed the salary cap when a player is injured for an extended period. When a player is on LTIR, the team can exceed the salary cap by the amount of the player's contract, known as the "LTIR Pool." During the playoffs, there's no salary cap, so teams can activate a player from LTIR without cap restrictions.
The answer to your question is yes. Neither Backstrom nor Oshie will ever play another NHL game, but if they were to officially retire before the end of their contracts, they would forfeit the remainder of their contracts.
One wrong collision and his future is very different. Love Oshie and everything he has given us but the last thing I want to see is him suffering a not only career ending but also life-altering injury on the ice.
Lol I saw the Crosby post about his “8.7m only contract” I wouldn’t sign for 15m” 😂🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️ He’s obsessed with his bday lol……EASSSYYYY Dan, getting TOO complimentary for a 🐧for a min there…. 😜
HAPPY BDAY TO THE GREAT 8! Wishing an awesome and HEALTHY season! ❤️💙. Yayyyyy for the reverse retro jerseys coming back! Want more! Lol. I remember Ovi being drafted… I’ll never forget that draft, although in early 20s, I was already in love with the Caps! Thanks DAN! I could keep commenting as you speak but should probably work.. 🙈😂💙❤️
I've never been a fan of the washed out red jerseys. That's not the correct red for the Washington Capitals. It was the correct red from 1974-1995. The current red is considerably darker. To me, the washed out red looks like a Chinese knockoff jersey color.
Why shouldn’t ovie play til 43-45. The caps will be getting better. His role will be somewhat different as aging superstar, but he can do it if he wants. 1000 goals then possible. Lots of players have gone to 43. Why not ovie. Currently locked to play at 40. Is 43 that different. I an going to cherish this year and next. He is destined to be first player in history to score 900 goals! Matthews is still quite a few away from 400, not to mention 500. Go for 1000 Ovie!! If the motivation to play in front of sons then pretty big kids in four years could help.
Only defencemen and players who should have retired long before they did. Gordie Howe was done at age 41, before his Red Wings career ended. He just decided to keep playing for another 12 years in a lesser league.
@@lockedonlaw I went to many games in Hanford when I lived in Connecticut. Saw the islanders, canadiens twice, bruins, the 1984 Olympic team play the whalers. The team trying for another miracle. Didn’t go well. Also saw capitals, rangers and prime oilers in 1983.
Other teams are going to have needs before the season, if Oshie does make it back some moves may have to be made. A lot of moving pieces before opening night.
I don't see him returning to be honest. He has been playing la decent amount of golf, and just in July he spoke about still needing a permanent fix. He gave up golf last year because of the back issue.
I’m still worried!… we want Ovi super healthy!! …..well we know Nicky wouldn’t be back, and I don’t think Oshie will either. AS MUCH AS IT HURTS TO SAY, but I’d rather him not get further injured, his injuries were scary 🙁. Losing both is so sad…. And COACH! The money being held up for them is a bummer. But onward we must go! I really like Miro….. Thanks Dan! #bestpodcast ❤️💙 ……the video compilation of the caps having their day with the cup, still makes me tear up! 🙈
