Hopefully Vokoun and Mojo are in.

We owe them an Ovechtrick scored by John Erskine with all assists coming from DJ King.

sharkohol · 10-10-2011, 11:20 AM

Vokoun starting?

Vladiator16 · 10-10-2011, 11:25 AM

He better be.

um · 10-10-2011, 11:27 AM

TB updates from twitter:

LightningTimes (Damian Cristodero )
erlendssontrib (Erik Erlendsson)

- Roloson in goal
- Ohlund having a procedure (knee injury) and out for awhile
- Ritola and Gervais in; Gilroy, Pyatt and Jones to sit tonight

- Vokoun to start for Caps

- Sounds like Johansson could center 2nd line, Perreault could play 4th line wing or center and Beagle may be the scratch tonight

Go Caps!

The Gr8 Eight · 10-10-2011, 11:53 AM

yeah, Vokoun is in tonight!!!!! Hopefully we just run Rolli all night. Would like to see OV get one or a couple tonight!!!!

Lets go Caps!!!! 7 cant come soon enough!!!

SwedeSpeedBackstrom · 10-10-2011, 12:03 PM

Vokoun is playing an old enemy, it's payback time for him and the rest of the guys who played in last years playoffs.

Semin with at least 2 goals, book it.

Mystlyfe · 10-10-2011, 12:03 PM

Hope Brouwer takes a cue from Laich and runs Roli.

CrashTheNet9 · 10-10-2011, 12:04 PM

Can't wait for tonight! I haven't been to a game since January 2010.

Vladiator16 · 10-10-2011, 12:15 PM

According to WP: Alex Ovechkin was the only player not on the ice for the morning skate at KCI.

Hey guys. Do you know if Johansson or Perreault will be centering your 2nd line?

Sounds like MoJo on the 2nd, Perreault on the 4th. Not 100% though.

BigDaddy · 10-10-2011, 12:31 PM

I'll be there tonight.

Lets see what you're made of Vokoun!

BrooklynCapsFan · 10-10-2011, 01:03 PM

Third and fourth line were great on Friday -why mess with that? Actually, every forward on the team had a great game with one exception. Not sure why he's going to stay in the lineup.

ForzaItalia · 10-10-2011, 01:15 PM

TSN2 is carrying this so I get to watch the game.

Ovechkins Wodka · 10-10-2011, 01:15 PM

ill be going to this one. cant wait to see how the changes in the roster works vs tampa.

Ref9 · 10-10-2011, 01:26 PM

Will be there. Up in in the 400s, hopefully Schultz will be sitting nearby.

RandyHolt · 10-10-2011, 01:37 PM

I have no hesitation to sit 4th liners after a good game. 10 minutes of honest hard work should be an assumed performance. Sitting a guy like Beagle should make him hungry when he gets back, he wont be going through the I have a job motions. There are no ego's to shatter on 4.

Backstrom got demoted (alleged inadvertantly even though he was scoreless IIRC) to the 4th line for a game and it was a spring board for his career. One can hope doing so with MJ will spark him, get him in a place with no pressure to score.

NobodyBeatsTheWiz · 10-10-2011, 01:37 PM

Lineup should be pretty simple: Vokoun in for Neuvirth, Mojo in for Perrault.

But I'm betting that won't be it. No reason for MP to be in the lineup if he's not on a scoring line.

Run Rollie, take away Stamkos in the left circle, and you've got a good chance.

Skoorbnut · 10-10-2011, 01:38 PM

It will be interesting seeing Vokoun in net tonight. Can't wait for the game tonight!

I would be concerned... except this is nothing new.

Hope this isn't one of those games where you get frustrated at how much the boys are getting out hustled in every play.

The Gr8 Eight · 10-10-2011, 01:53 PM

I can understand ovie not at practice, He has been around the world in the past couple days. I hope he is in good form tonight though.

Sure let's give him the benefit of the doubt... again.

Just be the dynamic lucky-scores-even-though-laying-flat-on-ice-Ovie again please.

Honestly I think it's just he's outting too much pressure on himself... with the C on his chest and multiple post season failures... and the success of his supposive counterpart.

He's due for team hardware. Luck hasn't been with him for quite a while now... it's about time it came back.
