FWIW we played with five D-men for 56:55 and had only four to choose from for 7 of those minutes b/c penalties
Mo Seider played 29:31
Oesterle 22:58
Chiarot 22:41
Walman 23:42Lindstrom 15:34
Derek Lalonde knows what he has on his blue line. Not the options we want.

I have not read this. I’m not paying Freep to read this stuff. I don’t think we should steal content from behind paywalls either. However, this bit of freely-given information is more than I’ve seen about Vrana recently than anything else, so at least it’s something.
Ovechkin at 800 now chasing Howe for 2nd on NHL goals list
Ovechkin is just two goals from passing Gordie Howe for second on the career list. “Mr. Hockey” is the only player between Ovechkin and Wayne Gretzky’s record of 894 that long seemed unapproachable. The longtime Washington Capitals captain remains very much on track to challenge the “Great One.”
Didn’t post this yesterday and probably should have. Making up for that now. I say he passes Howe when the Caps play Toronto (I hope so because we’ve got them coming up soon and I want it out of the way before then).
