Eric Fehr Is Out, Michael Latta Is In For Game 4 Tonight On Long Island

OH IT’S ON. I can confirm (like how a member of the real media always says it) that Latta is in for Fehr tonight. The brothers of destruction going to give it to the Islanders.

What do you do when you get hit? You hit them right back. That’s what Latta brings to the table. He agitates, he hits, he chirps, he gets in your way, and he makes you make mistakes. He also has better hands than is given credit to make plays and for face offs. He’s a guy you want on your side of the ice, not the other.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Andre Burakovsky getting back in the mix either. Caps could use his speed and shiftiness to generate more shots. Scratch Glencross, who has disappeared since coming in hot at the trade deadline. Bura has his liabilities, but can be a game changer on offense as well.

Game 4 tonight. Caps win and come back to Verizon with it all knotted up. Lose and they come back fighting for their playoff lives.
