The reason Alzner is not in the lineup is $$$. His cap hit is too big to carry him on the roster until the second half of the season, unless someone goes on IR. <BR/><BR/>With Brash questionable thanks to taking a puck in the hand Monday night, we don't have enough forwards on the roster to leave Fedorov on the blueline, so we've got to go with what we've got, so unless Koz or someone else goes on IR, we're stuck with Juiskine. <BR/><BR/>I don't hate Jurcina after seeing him Monday night. He isn't hopeless, and I can deal with him on the ice. I'd love to get rid of Erskine, but I see why we can't get rid of him right now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7786036042939190292.post-14891517178503804902008-10-16T10:16:00.000-04:002008-10-16T10:16:00.000-04:00As a Caps fan I couldn't have summed up Erskine an...As a Caps fan I couldn't have summed up Erskine and Jurcina any better. Why Alzner and Lepisto aren't in their place is a disgusting mystery.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Eric<BR/>BaltimoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
