Around SBN: Two Minutes Of Thunder Basketball Wins The Game

Preview: Leafs at Capitals, hoo boy


Next Game

Toronto Maple Leafs
@ Washington Capitals

Sunday, Dec 28, 2008, 7:00 PM EST
Verizon Center

Complete Coverage >


Matt Stajan got hit in the eye with a soccer ball before practice, and missed the skate with "fuzzy vision". Mike Van Ryn now has a concussion and will be out until it clears up. It's a little ridiculous that Kostopolous got three games for a hit that's taken one of our best D men out for two months now.

The Capitals aren't without injuries either:


Washington Capitals Injuries

Questionable

Player Injury Type Injury Date
Brent Johnson illness/hip 12.28.2008

Doubtful

Player Injury Type Injury Date
Tomas Fleischmann pneumonia 12.28.2008

Out (IR / Out / Suspended / Physically unvailable)

Player Injury Type Injury Date
Mike Green shoulder 12.21.2008
Tom Poti groin 12.21.2008
Brian Pothier post-concussion syndrome 9.20.2008
Sergei Fedorov ankle 12.14.2008
John Erskine mild concussion 11.25.2008
Jeff Schultz broken finger 11.26.2008
Alexander Semin back 12.19.2008

Washington has won seven of their last eight and are 14-1-1 at home. Hopefully the hardworking Leafs show up, not the lazy Leafs.

Opposing coverage available at the excellent Japers' Rink.

I think i heard 10 days. But I can’t be too sure if I actually saw it, or if it was a dream.

TSN is reporting at least 10 days in their ice chips. I knew it wasn’t a dream.

Prediction

Ovechkin gets 3 points and cripples another defenceman. Kaberle, perhaps.

Schenn

Is fricken awesome in EA ‘09. He inflicts at least one injury every game.
Doesn’t answer your question about when he’s coming back, but I’m off for two weeks and playing a lot of XBox right now.

This WJ game is a joke.

Canada need to stop short of completely humiliating them. Show some mercy. 7-0 is quite enough.

its that stupid goal differential.
they cant really let up, just in case shit goes wrong.

I like Quinns “mix shit up” strategy to keep the flow interupted though

There is only so much you can do to stop the scoring. Quinn’s trying but the kids are just too damn good.

Tavares

shoulda had that PP goal at the side of the net. I can’t believe he missed on that.

Good job by the Kazakh goalies, especially Yankov. Poor kid looked exhausted after the second period. He shoulda been player of the game for them.

Game thread…..?

Ain't nothing but puck drops and poke checks, babydoll.

And this list is shorter than it has been in a while. Up until a few days ago, there were three or four more names on said list.

I have as many wins in a Capitals uniform as Michael Belhumeur does.
