This might sound like a joke, and I’d actually rather just have everyone assume it’s a joke than give actual details, but I’ve been in the hospital a few weeks and have missed a bit of hockey. Doing a bit better now, still recovering. The last game I saw was us getting shut out by Tampa near the end of October.

I watched highlights today and the caps look spectacular. I see the old man was going berserk again but got hurt recently. Also looks like McMichael is having a breakout season, the highlights make him look amazing. We got Eller back? I remember Lapierre didn’t look too good early in the season, was the Eller trade sparked by a lack of faith in him playing 3C?

Anything else I’ve missed?

    You pretty much nailed it. We don’t know much about Ovi yet other than that he’s week to week, which probably means Lappy gets another go.

    Logan Thompson is having an amazing season (unbeaten in regulation), and the fourth line is also really vibing (Dowder w/ Duhaime & Raddysh).

    Welcome back!

    EDIT: Fractured left fibula, out 4-6 weeks.

      I think Nic Dowd has been absurdly underrated the past many seasons because his line is really vibing every season regardless of who gets put next to him.

      Is Lindgren the backup now?

        Both goaltenders have been splitting games. That said, there’s no denying how great Logan Thompson’s playing, so he’s kind of the favorite right now. Still love me some Charlie, though.

          Thanks for helping me get up to speed. I’m still in the hospital, but I’m hoping I can find tonight’s game on my phone on nhl66 to watch for the first time in forever.
