The guy sitting next to me at the game tonight said "Hey, we're still paying part of Jagr's salary...shouldn't he play for us for a period?"
Although he did tie it up in the third (Jagr, not the guy sitting next to me...in case that antecedent wasn't clear enough for that pronoun), the Caps pulled out the OT win. The very small crowd was, quite honestly, not that excited.
I had to get a copy of the press notes to figure out who half the players were. There was one guy skating, number 64, and I couldn't read the name on his jersey. He wasn't on the roster I had. In the first he got called for a penalty and I said "Well, at least we'll hear who he is."
Nope. They never announced it. Wow. I guess even the PA announcer didn't know this guy...and he was close enough to lean into the penalty box and say "Who are you?"
(Turns out it was Roman Tvrdon, who was called up from Portland today. But this is weird, not being able to tell the players even with a scorecard...)
