We were out at dinner with friends last night, so I'll be watching the re-air broadcast this afternoon. Raining all weekend, I don't feel guilty.

We played exactly like I thought we would. A confused first, a solid second and a dominant third. Which is the opposite of what the caps wanted us to. 
 

Frankly our first wasn’t even that bad, their first goal was TDA barely phoning it in, and Drury getting caught. You couldn’t beat their second goal even though Pyotr almost did. Nobody expects Ov to pass from his domain(slot).

Just rewatching the post game show to find Rod’s interview. Honestly, I don’t think Tripp was toasted last night. I think he had a toast over from New Years and the NY trip. NY is a dangerous city for him. 
 

Also Orlov definitely lost a toof. He was trying hard to hide it in the interview but number 10 is missing.

Like I said… TDA sighting… I know it wasn’t his guy to cover but like dude… 

To be fair, Backstrom was coming right down the slot behind TDA and had TDA taken the shooter, it would have been an easier goal from the front doorstep.

Yeah, he was lazy, but he knew better than to put himself way out of position trying to make up for it.

He missed the neutral zone puck check is what I’m saying though. The rest ya, super lazy. But he didn’t even try for that board battle. This is a team of board battlers… 

Over the middle we slack sometimes but on the boards in the neutral and D-Zone. Good luck.

Oh, I completely agree. Maybe that's why he spent most of the night on the bench after that.

3:53 TOI last night

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but Drury's lack of awareness to cover his guy open in the middle of the ice is far worse.

Yes, TDA could have done better with the board battling, but there is no excuse for Drury to just be meandering on the boards behind the caps board player when the Caps player is clearly going to be the first one to the puck...

      Hes Short as Hell but Man I Like This Kid

      Like I said before, I don't get the "only as a UDFA" sentiment, you have to keep following your board. Now if Pavia falls to what amounts to the supplementary UDFA section of the board, that's great, but if he's sitting at the top when you're picking day three (yes, I can't see him being drafted before day three), then you pull the trigger. Rounds 5-7 don't generally provide keepers anyway, you can use them for players that you want to take a closer look at that you may be able to develop.  Pavia may not translate to the pros. Nobody would bet anything of value on it. But, he was highly productive in college due to his play extension abilities, "body torque" mechanics on short and intermediate throws, and good accuracy on said throws. And, he has that dawg in him to be sure.  All that being said, Drew Allar will probably be able to be had on day three, and if it comes down to it--due to nothing but my prejudice against short, weak-armed QBs--I'd pick Allar.

      Yeah, receivers contracts are crazy, and it's probably not going to change. You almost have to take your swings--keep some picks at WR churning between rounds one through three in order to keep your costs down and give you options at contract time. Creating that value surplus appears to be more important at WR and all the premium positions than getting a non-premium position player who generally are just easier to replace as it pertains to value. The holy grail is to hit on a premium position late, but due to the gradually declining hit rate on days one and two that drops off a cliff day three, you basically have to get lucky.

      Very interesting indeed. It did make my head swim more. It said a lot, but it still didn't give any concrete answers. Kinda makes me want to pivot back towards a premium position though...
