I seriously can't watch this **** anymore.

I switched over to watch Klondike and put the game on my IPad. Game would have been more palatable if Wilson had crushed somebody. The team is bad as network sitcoms, sadly.

Was Klondike worth watching?

Totally forgot about him. Another disaster.

Actually, it wasn't bad. I don't watch much television other than NHL games and Game of Thrones. I guess the Caps count as a drama mini-series.

MDZ traded to Nashville.

 

[strungout]

Del Zotto to Nashville for Kevin Klein.

Good change of scenery trade for both.

The guy from A Fish Called Wanda?

Highway robbery for New York, imo. Klein is a very good 2nd pairing guy on an affordable deal with term remaining. His offensive numbers are down, but he's still a quality defensive RHD.

It does certainly look like insurance for if Girardi doesn't extend with the Rangers, though.

I dunno, Nashville got a guy that's 6 years younger and has put up 40 points in a season. Good move for them considering the direction they're going. I think MDZ is clearly a 2nd pairing guy as well.

No, the blogger from Japers Rink.

 

[dillyboy93]

Probably the wrong thread but still, its sadly interesting...

From the "Likely Only Interesting To Me" file, the #Caps have had the same points pct. after 44 games in each of the last 3 seasons (.568).

MDZ has a lot of potential and if there's anyone who can tease it out of him, it's Barry Trotz.

Also, and I feel like an ass for saying this, handedness. Nashville balances out with this move and adds offense to the left.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

No more Czechs, please.

Look at this list of names:

Jagr, Neuvirth, Erat, Hamrlik, Cutta, Majesky, Klepis, Novotny, Flash, Kundratek, Kucera, and Lang

That's 3 out of 12 that haven't been complete disasters in the last 15 years.

Bring back the Finns and out with the Czechs.

I'm pretty sure that Jeff Schultz had some Czech blood in him on his mother's side.

I've never really been impressed by Del Zotto. We'll see how he can fare under Trotz.

I feel like that organization can pump out guys like Klein at will. MDZ is a rarer type of player.

I like the guy...but what the **** has Jay Beagle done to stay on this roster this season over Latta?

Come on, man. You know logic and reason has little to do with the roster decisions under this staff.

I'm not really sure Beagle is more than an AHL player if he doesn't PK.

What have Laich and Brouwer done to get consistent top 6 minutes and Brouwer PP1 time in the slot? There's no accountability whether someone is playing good or bad, deal with it.

Im so done with Mafki and Oates and the whole lot of em.

It's ridiculous.

Like last night...Schmidt paired with Carrick. WTF?!

They've taken up 12% of the teams salary cap, that's what. Add in Erat, Erskine, and Neuvirth?

5 dynamite players using up more than 25% of the teams cap space. 17/64 mil.

Now that is some good GM'ing

 

[NoMoreChoking]

The new area I moved to in Maryland has a MacPhail street.

Coincidence??

 

[Ridley Simon]

no no....it would be much better if kuznetsov didn't come. he's not here yet, so there is still hope.

Remember a few months ago when you were tickled about this team, and I asked you what they might look like when Ovechkin stops scoring goal/game pace?

Well, it was on display last night.

You still pleased with the team? Sure fire playoff lock, like you thought? Where is your partner in crime, BobRouse, these days? Least you are still on here, props for that. He has disappeared as the teams true colours have risen to the fore.

Well Schmidt is left handed and Carrick is right handed. What's there to be confused about?

Its so depressing that its come to that....but that right there is where we are.
