Rumor: Capitals interested in goalie MAF

[Rayquaza64]

goaltending will get the team to score more than one goal in 120 minutes

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Just curious as a Devils fan that if Samsonov was available, what would you want in return.

We can take back cap dump to help faciliate the Fleury move. Would someone like Pavel Zacha interest you as a replacement for Mantha?

 

[Empty Goal Net]

The defense in front of him does stuff like this every single night:

That means he'll be ready when the Caps' d does the same thing.

What the Caps need is a prayer.

He may not want to go to DC. The way the team is trending, goaltending is ONE of the problems, not a cure all.

It’s amazing how a lack of confidence in the guy in net can suck the life out of a team. Suddenly they’re gripping their sticks even tighter and more than just the PP guys…

 

[Ridley Simon]

It’s such bunk. Did the King balk at coming to DC? His time against the Caps was just as heated.

if Fleury really feels that way, then enjoy your last few years playing for a shit team.

flowers are soft, after all

Jesus you're taking it personal.

??

that’s bizarre.

First, Jesus has nothing to do with it.

Second, it’s pretty lame for any player to pass up a chance to win due to something that occurred 5+ yrs ago.

it’s Pro Sports. Not a Hatfield marrying a McCoy

MAF doesn't owe anyone anything... like you said, its just a sport.

Doesn’t mean I can’t think it’s soft. It is soft.

 

[Misery74]

I am of the opinion we should role within the tandem we have. They have turned it around lately.

fair enough.

If I'm MAF I want to go to a contending team, Avs are the best option but Caps are up there for sure.

and could just as quickly reverse course….we’ve seen this cycle before.

If not MAF as a sure starter, I like the idea of a Holtby as a 3rd platoon guy….then let ‘em fight it out. If he’s cheap.

There are players in this league that hate the Capitals, hate Ovechkin, hate Washington. Clearly for Lundqvist and Chara it was a desired location. If MAF is in the no camp, I'd rather go with Holtby than run another Jagr deal thru here.

 

[Raikkonen]

I think for all these years MAF and Ovi got along pretty fine.

Tried this and it hasn’t worked out well. They need a guy who they can turn too.

I get all that. But MAF at 37 and soon to be a UFA isn’t marrying the Caps for 11 or whatever years like idiot Jagr did.

come and try and win a Cup. Get your name on their again, and with a different team. Certainly would cement his legacy.

only a team to 2 really needs a G, from this that have a chance. Caps are the most obvious.

if he doesn’t want to come, then he doesn’t. He can dick around with the Blackhawks and then go sign with the Coyotes or something as a UFA.

My take is that the Caps wont be his only choice

What is up with Vanacek? Injured 11days ago and no update.

 

[Roshi]

Id love to see any old Caps player saying they dont want to go to Pens. So if thats where Fleury is, i respect it.

its not soft, actually the opposite. For todays players its too easy to change between two rivals.

He has a concussion. Team has him on IR listed as an UBI, but just about every caps fan knows he sustained a concussion when the Pens Kapanen collided with him, head to head.

Sorry. I think it’s Charmin.

his legacy is more important than the Penguins. Thinking otherwise is simply naive and stupid

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Maybe he feels his legacy is intertwined with the Pens?

Not the first and won’t be the last to not want to go to a rival.


Seems narrow minded to not understand these are humans with feelings.


PS - I don’t think he needs this to cement his legacy….that’s done already IMO.
