Post-Game Talk: Capitals vs. BJs at 7pm

[Blitzkrieg365]

Beautiful stick handling by Nicky there.

We could easily do same thing Pens did with Sullivan and Caps did with Boudreau. Bring up the AHL coach.

Mann should be here at midseason if Caps still look like crap by then IMO.

But from all that's been said/herad of about Mann is he's just another version of Trotz. A defensively responsible coach, with maybe just a little more predication on the forecheck.

I wonder if Ted won't do that because he does not want to pay a coach not to coach the team. I think his comments on costs of operating MCI center, plus how terrible the Wizards are makes me think he may be a little more financially cautious than in the past.

Ovie is having just a terrible game so far

 

[Bladerunner]

This team is worse than last year. They are still good but man they have regressed. They are slow, turn the puck over way too much, and lack any creativity offensively. I really think this team needs to make a trade or two in order to be able to make a deep run.

I'm beginning to think you might be right

 

[Blitzkrieg365]

You could tell it was only a matter of time for Nicky, he's been having a great game.

 

[Ovie's Neighbor]

There you go Backstrom. Great speed through the neutral zone.

 

[Calicaps]

Mother of god, someone get to the front of the net.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I wonder if the ice is bad tonight? Pucks are jumping over and off everyone's sticks.

Nicky is on a mission tonight.

 

[Calicaps]

Nicky!!

Two of the four newly formed lines look productive so far: 90-19-77, and 43-20-26. The other ones, blech

 

[twabby]

Hey the one line that actually looks good on paper scored.

Maybe swap the Cs?

 

[troyerlaw]

Maybe swap the Cs?

Yes, but 65-92-8 would get feasted on in our end

 

[Coldplay619]

Sanford is not an NHL player. He needs to be sent down.

 

[4thTierSport]

That is why NHL refs are an absolute joke. Blue Jacket player owes Eller's stick a dinner after that…

 

[troyerlaw]

That was an awful awful call. Eller had the body position. The blue jacket was holding eller's stick. CBJ was guilty of both holding the stick and embellishment

 

[hockeyfan88]

That was a sick goal by Backstrom.

 

[Coldplay619]

I wonder how long this Beagle experiment will last.

Wouldn't surprise me if Ovi goes on a career long goal drought.

Two of the lines are alright, the other two need to switch centres.

 

[Devil Dancer]

I see the offense has really come alive with the new lines.

 

[troyerlaw]

Exploded

 

[Calicaps]

Guess they heard me.

 

[Coldplay619]

Guess they heard me.

We'll see.

Beagle was killing a penalty earlier in the period.

 

[Calicaps]

Dammit Dimitry, shoot!!
