2016-17 General NHL Fan Talk - Part the Third (News n' Scores n' Stuff) ‎

[Privet]

5-0 Sens... sigh.. this is really hard to watch as a Caps fan..

 

[Langway]

This is ridiculous. Yeah, Ted saddled McPhee with Oates, but the Forsberg trade is all on McPhee regardless.

Ownership maybe could have stopped it, though.

Trotz will probably just argue his war of attrition fell short in their series but now Ottawa has firmly taken advantage of it. So say thank you, Senators.

 

[Nice]

Pierre's homerism in full effect

 

[Revelation]

Forsberg would probably catch capitalitis if he were on this team

He didn't catch Nashvillitis, Nashville caught Forsbergitis

Ownership is ****ing clueless, which is the root of the problem.

But point taken.

And Trotz wouldn't be entirely wrong. The Caps tenderized the **** out of the Pens in games 5 and 6. That they couldn't make hay with that in game 7 is the disgrace.

Nashville got Laviolette.

 

[John Price]

As someone else on reddit said if they're tearing the pens like that what makes you think they wouldn't have done that to the caps? Quit being bitter and just enjoy the domination. The caps wore the pens down. They were injured going in and even more depleted now. Cheer hard for the Sens.

I find solace in the likelihood we'd have converted him to center on day 1, burning a year or 2 on that failed experiment. Battling it out with Bura Kuz and MJ for that coveted 4C slot. Regardless, given him 4th line 8TOI and no power play time, and expect him to wow the coaches while pulling 35% FO's. Which would have led to the inevitable scratches, trips to Hershey to pout, and risk losing him back to the motherland.

No doubt we'd have stunted his development further by insisting he learn the NHL mandated grind em tire em 2 to 1 em ways for a few years. Sure the Swedes are pretty good out of the box defensively but Trotz wouldn't want to risk it. The kids a liability out there.

[Capsman]

Forsberg is a penalty magnet.

 

[Carlzner]

Preds tie it with 30 seconds left.

Guess who.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Martin Erat

 

[Langway]

 

[EroCaps]

Rinne seems fine w/out Korn.

Forsberg is about to carry his team to the Cup finals with the club that fired Trotz.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Forsberg Schmorsberg.....go Ducks!

 

[Privet]

Martin "MVP" Erat.

 

[RandyHolt]

Scoresberg.

We need our GM to try to take more candy from GMGM to get our sanity back. Orpik is our Erat. Now I understand why everyone keeps thinking we can get George to take him off our hands.

Agree on Rinne not needing Korn. We have Korn and look at where we are. I am not sold he is best for Holtby going forward. Great coach and person but change isn't always bad.

 

[Hivemind]

Mitch Korn is the only member of the coaching staff that I want to keep.

 

[ovikovy817]

So, with Johansen out of the playoffs, if Preds wins the Cup, Forsberg wins Conn Smythe? or they still give it to a Dman?

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

It's not happening.

 

[Raikkonen]

Much drama in the 3rd of the G6 in Nashville.

Sissons did some things for sure. The game of his life?

 

[SpinningEdge]

Watch Forsberg win Conn Smythe

 

[WcRoenick97]

Couldn't have asked for an easier road to winning the cup. Our team is so pathetic for losing to that banged up Pens team.

 

[marcel snapshot]

So Forsberg looks like a playoff-hardened leader who cooly does what his team needs him to do. We don't really have a guy that looks like that

 

[Carlzner]

Love the Preds but no way that center depth beats Pittsburgh.

 

[Demandedace]

Congratulations to the Preds though, stellar play by Rinne with timely scoring, tough to beat.
