The Washington Capitals roll in to town tonight. They are not going too well right now so maybe the Leafs can get back in the win column. Ovechkin has not scored at the rate he did in the past and has been benched by coach Boudreau in recent games.
There have even been some reports that OV is not happy in the US capital. Maybe a change of scenery would help restore the passion, somewhere like ... oh I do not know ... the Southern Ontario area, the GTA ... OV is coming to the Leafs ! lol
OK, clam down, even if that were true, I am not exactly sure I would be too excited about that news. I have never been an OV fan and after five years where he averaged more then 50 goals per season, including a 65 in 07/08, in his sixth and most recent season he dropped to 32 goals while he played in 79 games. What happened ? Is it really just a blip that a trade would fix ? Has he lost the passion altogether ? At almost $10 mil per, I certainly want to know the answer to that question before I pick him up. Anyway, rumours can be fun.
Remier skated in full equipment. No problems were reported, but you may want to call his mom to be sure.
Still no word on when he may return to action though. I, for one, do not expect to see Remier in an NHL game sooner then December.
Lombardi and Komisarek are out three weeks or more.
