It’s cool that we all can have opinions that evolve and change as new evidence is presented, but maybe use that repeated “get out of jail free” card to take smaller (and less offensive) swings out of the gate, yeah?

Talked a lot about Justin Sourdif on the Sunday Special this week. He's now played 67:55 5v5 minutes centering Protas + Wilson now. In that time..
Goals: 6-1 Caps
Shots on Goal: 47-18 Caps
High Danger Chances: 29-9 Caps
Examples of Sourdif making plays last night vs. CBJ:

Literally twice as many assists in the first two periods tonight as he had in his 26 career games to date. ⚔️
Any time you can play a guy with one assist in 26 career games at 2C, ya gotta do it.

Capitals vs. Lightning Recap: Bolts Bolt Out Early, Caps Fall 5-3
In each of their first two meetings, the Caps and Bolts had combined for a total of five goals; tonight, they’d done that much damage in just the first period, with Tampa following the Caps’ opening-minute tally with four straight. A bit of a wild one followed, with the Caps clawing back to within one before Tampa’s late goal off a funky bounce gave them the victory and the season series win. Plus: Full credit to Charlie Lindgren for coming in to relieve Logan Thompson after LT was dinged for four goals and stopping the bleeding for as long as […]
