I'm sure that's the story! Caps just bending people over at this point.
USA has out-shot Sweden 39-16 through the first two periods, but are down 0-1 as Islanders prospect Linus Soderstrom has yet to give up a goal.
In the NHL, Habs trade Zack Kassian for Ben Scrivens.
BOOK IT. CANES BEAT CAPS TONIGHT.
Jay Beagle is going under the knife, Backstrom may be out, and John Carlson and Brooks Orpik are out again.
Caps are 18-2-2 since Orpik was injured :thumbsup:
Beagle is having a solid year, though; I don't think he's as easily replaced, and chemistry will suffer a bit.
The Team USA goaltender is a Canes prospect. They haven't had an NHL caliber goaltender in the pipeline since Cam Ward (well, one that stayed in Carolina anyway). So it's good to see that Nedeljkovic is looking the part so far.
