How bout them Caps?

[Maengelito]

Didnt see it, but heard about it. I've seen so many people take slap shots to the face and it never gets less gruesome to me. I know a lot of pro hockey players dont like wearing face shields/visors but maybe if you wore them, you wouldn't be missing teeth.

And I seriously doubt they'd trade away Semin too. As you said, they just renewed his contract, their line chemistry is perfect right now and they're firing on all cylinders. I really hope they pick up a solid Dman at the deadline like Dan Hamhuis or Tomas Kaberle and not some old balls guy like Adam Foote (and yes, I realize Kaberle is also pretty old but I think he's a lot better than Foote). I also hope they don't pick up Halpern or Whitney. I'm pretty worried about Varly though, since he hasn't really skated much in over a month and they keep being vague about how bad his knee/groin injuries are. While I like Neuvirth, I don't see him being able to carry the team through the playoffs and Jose Three-or-more is just too inconsistent to be relied on as well. Maybe its just the Caps fan in me, but I get most pessimistic when they're doing really well.

I expect there to be a flurry of activity after the Olympics so we'll see how things go...
