I wonder if it will end up winner makes the playoffs and loser goes home? Either way should be an interesting race to the end. With Ivan Fedotov coming into the fold I do feel a little bit better about the goaltending situation now. We'll see soon... This is shaping up just like I figured... @SaucyJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll join Backstrom in the LTIR clubhouse for the final year of his contract. That leaves three remaining from the 2018 Miracle Cup: Ovi, Wilson, Carlson The WaPo article also reported that TJ spent extra time after the game 4 playoff loss last spring saluting the fans, remaining on-ice longer than most of the Capitals. He felt it might well be his swan song, then. Edited September 19 by SaucyJack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaucyJack Posted September 21 Author Share Posted September 21 (edited) From Yave’s “Blues Review 2024” in May: It seems like years ago but Jakub Vrana last year blew his probable last chance in the NHL and was a huge bust. The 2024-25 Capitals are giving him a tryout chance. WaPo says Vrana came to camp in good shape. Will we still have 4 players from the 2018 Cup Miracle?

SaucyJack Posted September 25 Author Share Posted September 25 So last night, the Caps tried out a line with their heaviest wingers Tom Wilson (220 lbs) and Pierre-Luc Dubois (225 lbs) aside their lightest center Connor McMichael (180 lbs). We have the Barbell Line if this sticks past pre-season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will we still have 4 players from the 2018 Cup Miracle? Apparently yes. Coach Carbery confirms that Vrana will be on the opening night roster: https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2024/10/07/jakub-vrana-expected-to-sign-with-the-capitals-its-really-good-news/ Not Miro, not new whiz kid Cristall, but Jakub Vrana. Caps and Ducks the last two to play, with openers not until Saturday. Now if my TV provider can only get greedy Ted Leonsis to re-establish his new network at a reasonable charge. (Of course, kept the fee the same as the older network the first year. Second year, attempt to move the team, and charge TV providers more. Eff him, I’ll watch whatever Caps games I can get on TNT or ESPN+ then. Radio play by play with John Walton and Ken Sabourin is nice, too.)

SaucyJack Posted 23 hours ago Author Share Posted 23 hours ago On 10/13/2024 at 4:31 PM, NHL HHOF said: The interviewer, Al Koken, became the Capitals TV analyst (paired with PxP man Mike Fornes) in either ‘84 or ‘85, lasting maybe 8 years or so. It remains somewhat unique for a TV hockey analyst to not have ever played hockey at any serious level. For a very long time now, Koken has been the on-ice reporter. I think he did that before it became popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
