I sure hope they have another move up their sleeve after putting Chorney on waivers...

Called it!

Wednesday, the team announced that they acquired puck-moving Jakub Jerabek from the Montreal Canadiens for a 2019 fifth-round pick.

Our old buddy Tortz got Chorney

Capitals defenseman Taylor Chorney was put on waivers Tuesday. He did not make it through.

According to Brian Hedger, the Columbus Blue Jackets have claimed the Capitals former seventh defenseman.

Nice win by the Bolts last night in their personal house of horrors up there. Feels good for them. Been a while since they found a way to win up there.

Go US Women's Hockey Team!

They got 'er done. Kudos to them.

Good game. Wish the shootout wouldn't be the decider, but it is what it is....

 

[Hank]

Ugh...

Orpik remains in the lineup despite having the third worst possession numbers (43.74 shot attempt percentage) among any defenseman in the NHL (minimum 600 minutes at even strength).

Caps are trying for Erik Karlsson

Ugh. Our Carlson would have to go I think.

I think they'd really overpay for Karly. Orpik needs to go.

One rumor I read is a Vrana trade. Who knows how legit that is.

That would suck. I like Vrana and within a few years, we'll need more young guys

 

[Chris0nllyn]

Coming down to the wire. Ottawa probably wants way too much and I think the Caps won't do anything else.

 

[jg21]

Looks like Caps made no major moves. Orpik's Trotz's guy. I bet Jerabek steps in for Djoos, since it looks like Kempny's already replaced Bowey.

 

[Chris0nllyn]

McDonaugh to Tampa.

Tampa got him, NYR got everything but the kitchen sink (Libor Hajek, Brett Holden, Vladislav Nemestnikov, 2018 1st round pick, conditional second round pick).

Green also looks to be staying with Detroit.

Not quite. Gotta give someone good to get something good, Nemestikof is a good player, the other two are average players, and the big one could be the trade pick that should be a first rounder if TB wins the Cup. Plus they have new dude top notch defender with a left hand shot for the next two playoff runs for only about $5 mil. Only.: What a bargain, eh? Heading out to the game now VS Toronto. Hopefully, I'll see a better performance than my last game.

Man! What a Chit Show! They aren't going anywhere with that D & the way Holtby has been performing. Keep Gruby in! It will be interesting to see who gets the start tonight!

And Philly in first makes me literally sick!

Grubi is outplaying Holtby. Plain and simple. It amazes me that Trotz is willing to sit Holtby after 1 but Orpik is out there stinking up the place day in and day out. Is it because he believes Orpik is good, or that no one else they have is any better?

It's certainly not all on Holtby though when the Caps blue line is giving other team high danger shots a few feet from the net.

Yup... Just not playing physical enough... You gotta start wiping people out down there!

 

[Chris0nllyn]

Grubauer will be in net tonight. Djoos is sitting, Jarebek will get his first start as a Cap, and dumpsterfire Orpik is still in.

Didn't Orpik sit himself out a few seasons ago? I don't remember the circumstances, but pretty sure that happened. Funny, last night Joe B. kept complimenting his play last night.

Wilson is a beast! An assist away last night from a Gordie Howe hat trick! He pummeled that dude!

I think as a veteran, he should know when he's not playing up to snuff. Niskanen played well last night, but Orpik had 2 penalties. Not sure how played well.

#TopLineTom The uppercut was what did him in.
