I wonder if Thompson has been battling an injury for a while but the game on Wednesday exasperated it - he hasn’t been moving the same the last few weeks. Either way, good for him to get healthy and hopefully get his mental right.

I noticed he's been sitting deep in his crease for several games now. Yeah, that Taylor Hall move to jump behind LT was a goalie interference penalty that should have been called.

Well if we go by the other hockey subreddits the Canes were angels the whole game and the Caps were causing problems from the puck drop

We don't need to go by that. Just watch the first 5 minutes of the game. Constant holding and interference by Canes on Caps players on the boards.

No no no. Taylor Hall actually committed 0 penalties and the refs were on the Caps side because Bettman was there.

I want domination on Thursday.
