Needed that last night.
I know Backstrom and Kuzy, and even Oshie should be mentioned, but that 4th line.....sheesh.
There was one shift where it was like playing keep away with Philly's 1st line. Lars Eller had a real nice game and some nice puck handling. Chorney almost lit the lamp in his first game back.
Couple bad breaks for Philly, but a couple missed chances for Washington also.
Looking forward to the Oilers Friday.
Hopefully Niskanen isn't out long, or at all.

That was a sick shift.
Chorney is a good player. I like him. He stepped up big time last season.

Shattenkirk!
Looks like he may play tonight.
Wish the best for Sanford.

Great deal. Once everyone's healthy, It looks like Schmidt's going to be a healthy scratch lots of nights.

Yeah, Schmidt gets a little sloppy from time to time. Kinda like Orlov last year. Big move for Shatter!
Man, I just HATE to get overconfident about this team, but looking back to last year's team, this one has added greater defense and better secondary scoring. About the only weakness I can see is that they take way too many penalties.
Sounds like I'm getting confident about this team's chances. Damn It.

Maybe it's the speed. Who knows.
Looks like Orpik may be back tonight. No Osh yet though.
Is there a projected lineup out yet? My projected D lineup is (not exactly a mind blower here):
Carl-zner (right and left shooters)
Schmidt-Niskanen (right and left again)
Orpik-Shattdeuces (right and left...again)

Not a fun game to watch overall, but happy with the W.
Vrana could have had a hat trick, at least 2 goals.
I really like watching Riley Barber skate. Dude's got some wheels on him

Considering the barrage of shots they had, it's surprising.
A loss was bound to happen. We'll see what happens on this road trip. I hope Schmidt makes the trip and plays some (though word on the street is they may have him on to play forward if someone gets hurt as they don't have enough cap space, and only 2 more recalls, to call up another forward)
Lightning got a big win last night over the Wild, but it was a devastating win, as they try and get around all the other injuries/problems they have had this year. The top three centers all went down with lower body injuries, and it doesn't look good for any of them to return anytime soon. They are playing much better since their month long swoon from late Dec through Jan, but this could do them in for the playoffs in what appears to be a "just not their year" scenario.
It is what it is. No excuses.

Caps trying to break a 4 game skid tonight against the Wild. Should be a good game now that they're back on home ice.
Already seeing the doom and gloom from caps "fans" for losing those 4 games. Outside of a ton of penalties and bonehead offside calls, they haven't been paying bad, just seemingly bad luck.

Nisky's play has been suspect as well as the D as whole... I'm not freaking, but they have teams on their ass in the standings. Home ice is nice!

I was watching the Pens game last night with my fingers, toes, legs, arms, etc. crossed. They almost got away without a point at all but the Flames (who have been hot here recently also) gave one up there at the last minute.
