Emma Lazarus would be proud. So weird that all of the non-Dahlin D dropped out of the top 5 and its all forwards now.

What is this monstrosity?

Being of Mediterranean descent and being somewhat olive complected, can you imagine the hassles Chelios would get at airports if he sported a playoff beard. I think there might be a pretty good reason why he never did. The closest Stevie ever came. Found this on Google and couldn't stop laughing. George Parros and Sidney Crosby love child.

Shocker... So much for fleecing Snow (pun intended) and acquiring 11th or 12th.

Agreed. It's not that a team HAS to be balanced to be successful or that well balanced teams WILL BE MORE successful, but when you lack a RH-LH balance on ur roster, its a weakness that has to be compensated for. Some teams have enough overall talent to overcome it, some don't. I just think that more balance = less weakness/compensation.

If you're Bergevin, and you want Kotkaniemi, are you really going to take him at 3? I think that could be too much of a reach there. It actually makes the most sense for him to trade #3 to Holland for #6 and #30 and still get (can we call him Coke Can?) at #6 without looking like an amateur.

Fair enough. I mean there are a few NHL players who come from Germany, Switzerland, and Austria as well, just not enough to keep a scout that busy I would think. I just figured the Eastern Europe scout included the former Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia, and former Soviet Republics.

Caps win 6-2. Lead series 3-1. I think Vegas sneaks in another win at home in game 5, and the Caps win it all in 6. Rewatching the 98 Finals highlights against the Caps, I am reminded what a beast Doug Brown(ov) was in that series. Game tying goal in Game 2, two goals in game 4. If there was one non-HOF guy on that roster that I could have on this team now, it would be Doug Brown, hands down. The expression on his face on the game tying goal in game 2 was priceless. With Dougie, every goal was like his first.

Would you then say he's become an Adam "Dead" Marsh?

Interestingly enough, if you look over the Cup winning rosters, you'll see a well balanced F and D group. 97 and 98 you had Brown, McCarty, LaPointe, Knuble, and Dandenault on the RW (Shanny and Maltby played the off-wing) and you had Vladdy (97), Mironov (98), Murphy, Ward, and Pushor on D. 2002 you had only Hull and McCarty listed as RW, but you still had Shanny, Maltby, Yzerman, Jason Williams, and Dandenault who could be slotted in there. On D, you had only Chelios and Olausson, but you still had Dandenault, and Krupp was signed that year too. In 2008, you had only Downey, McCarty, Samuelsson, and Maltby at F and Rafalski and Chelios on D, but that's still more righties than we have now. So yeah, this team has had more success with a more balanced RH to LH roster.

Fixed it for ya.

Only Subban (9.0 mil) would have a bigger cap hit than OEL if he signed that contract. Keep in mind that 8 x 8.25 = 66 million dollars over the life of the contract. Any other team can only sign him to 7 years max, so they would have to pay him almost 9.5 per to match Arizona's offer. That would make OEL's cap hit the highest among all NHL dmen. I don't know that anyone would offer that much. He may sign somewhere else, but his total salary would be less than the Coyotes' offer if he did. So it kind of depends on what's more important to him. http://www.spotrac.com/nhl/rankings/cap-hit/defenseman/

So he basically has nothing to do.

I prefer a rightie. I am biased.

Happy 20th Anniversary Caps and Wings.

Missed this during the Caps-Lightning Series: https://www.sportsgossip.com/nhl/mia-khalifa-spotted-falling-out-of-her-top-at-caps-lightning-playoff-game Also, even more horrible news: http://thesportsdaily.com/2018/05/18/mia-khalifa-took-a-puck-to-the-chest-at-lightning-capitals-game/ She was sitting right on the glass, which, apparently, was on her bucket list. What may not have been, though, was getting hit in the boob by a puck, which she claims happened. UPDATE: Mia says she might have ruptured her breast implant...that is an unfortunate development.

Got behind on posting.

It's not very often you hear a song advocating for statutory rape, but it was a different time then. Shame on You Kip Winger. I don't see any scenario where acquiring Hanifin or Faulk doesn't cost a 1st round pick going back.

Yes, exactly. I don't want him.

If I'm the Capitals, I put Mia Khalifa up against the boards right behind Holtby's net. That way the Knights are focused on the wrong "top shelf".
