He had four shots last night and played 16:07. He did not, however, see any PP time. That said, I [...]

 Did MLSE hire another puppet? Or, I guess, an 'interim' puppet? Check out this youtube link in the forum - it is truly amazing. Watch the Cliff Fletcher press conference carefully...   Sergei Fedorov was placed in IR with concussion symptoms. As I said earlier this week, Daniel Carcillo will be back next week.

 The Capitals have claimed Kris Beech for about the 19th time. With Nylander out, he will get a look on the second line ONLY if and when Gordon, Semin and Fleischmann cool off. I don't think they will stick him right in there. He is like an insurance policy. He is more offensively talented than [...]
