Ha! Yea, bring the camera. It could be fun watching me get schooled!
Seriously, though. Good to see the boys break the losing streak against a pretty good Thrashers team. I have a feeling Atlanta could be in the playoff hunt longer than most people suspect. Kovalchuk has been playing lights out. So we’ll see.

I’d kind of like to see BlackAces out there. Might even consider bringing my camera to photograph the fun
And what is this (11/26-game notes): Shultz – Broken finger 4-6 weeks.
I played the night I broke my finger…and continued to play during the healing.
It’s just a flesh wound.

I hate to say this but the Caps were suffering, not only physically from all the injuries but also mentally. A long road trip and a three game losing streak beats you down.
I hope these four callups generate the enthusiasm and exuberance that gets the Caps turned around. These guys can fill the breech while some of the regulars heal. And who knows? One or two might stick…
I smell opportunity!

I doubt the Bears skip a beat.
Depth rules.

Actually, It doesn’t have to do with cap room, but roster space. LTIR gives you salary cap space, plain ole IR lets you go over the 23 man roster.

What does adding Semin and Green to the IR retroactively do? Is that just for more cap room?

Heh, I’ll pass along the offer BlackAces.
As for Clark, no word yet (and knowing GMGM, probably no word ever) on when he got injured.

Man, they sure are calling up lots of players. If they need anyone else, I think me and some of by Novice league Fairfax Bulldog teammates are ready if called. We’re waiting on you, GMGM. Just give the word.

When did Clark get injured? Last I heard he was healthy, but just not playing well.
I guess they had to make cap space somehow until they can trade Nylander.
