Nice touch with the "Coaches decision."

hahaha

 

[Vladiator16*]

First line looked good last night, keep it going!

You can do it!

 

[BiPolar Caps]

More please!

 

[Midnight Judges]

This part of the schedule seems odd. 4 nights off and then 5 games in 7 nights.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

hoping holbty doesnt stink it up like his last start

 

[RandyHolt]

"Green" should pass it over the Holtsie so he can get Kolzig out of this brain for a game

 

[billcook]

Would be nice to win two in a row.

 

[Acallabeth]

I hope the 1st line keeps up their hockey and AO breaks through tonight.

 

[amjay13]

Out with the Beags and in with the Latta please.

This part of the schedule seems odd. 4 nights off and then 5 games in 7 nights.

I'm sure the Olympic break has caused scheduling problems. You have to pack games into stretches wherever you can while considering the recurring and new event schedules of all the arenas in the league (concerts, shows, conventions, circus crap, etc).

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Out with the Beags and in with the Latta please.

Is Latta hurt? Or is it a fake injury for IR shenanigans?

But yes. Why he is not a fixture on the NHL roster is a mystery to me.

But yes. Why he is not a fixture on the NHL roster is a mystery to me.

Can't fit Orlov, Oleksy, Carrick, Grubauer, & Latta without one on LTIR or in minors.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

oh wow
‏@VogsCaps 3m
Can't see Grubauer going again. Likely Neuvirth or Holtby. I'm guessing Neuvirth. @Sheangus so are all 3 goalies in play for tonight?


holtby pressbox?

 

[Penalty Kill Icing*]

Congrats on 2 points tonight.

 

[SimplySensational]

Its funny the whole anti-shootout crap on HF.

Chicago is 4-6, Capitals being 8-4 is a travesty to hockey because they have played 2 more shootouts and win them!

 

[SDBondra]

Caps win this one 50-49 in a shootout.

 

[g00n]

Its funny the whole anti-shootout crap on HF.

Chicago is 4-6, Capitals being 8-4 is a travesty to hockey because they have played 2 more shootouts and win them!

Chicago has 2 Cups in the last 4 years and are the defending champs. They have shown they can hack it in the playoffs when the shootout goes away. The Caps haven't done diddly in almost 40 years.

Think that has anything to do with it?

(p.s. 8 - 4 =/= 2, shootout wins are worth 1 additional point each, that's 4 more wins and 4 more points....just look at ROW)

 

[Capitlols]

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind Carrick being here.

 

[OviTaughtMe]

TOR is struggling.

Just win dammit

 

[OviTaughtMe]

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind Carrick being here.

There's your first mistake

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I'm still trying to understand the logic behind Carrick being here.

Showcasing trade bait or seeing if he can play in the NHL now so they can trade someone else?

 

[Midnight Judges]

The Caps haven't done diddly in almost 40 years.

IMO winning the Eastern conference counts for more than diddly.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Its funny the whole anti-shootout crap on HF.

Chicago is 4-6, Capitals being 8-4 is a travesty to hockey because they have played 2 more shootouts and win them!

Then why are shootouts not used come playoff time?

Shootouts are strictly an entertainment gimmick.

I never had a problem with when the games ended in a tie and both teams earned a point, but willing to compromise on the matter and drop the shootouts and go with the current 5 minute 4v4 OT session. Team wins in OT they get 2 points while the loser does not get any (never understood how a losing team in such situations can still get a point under the current format). Both teams still tied after OT, each team earns a point and that's it, none of this shootout BS.

Diddly squat?
