He's getting a little meaner, too.
3 deflections! When was the last time that happened?

Alzner is the type of guy to give a home town discount
Yeah but what if he and his wife consider their "hometown" Calgary or Vancouver?
I'm with everyone else though, longest term possible, he retires a Capital. He is that important to the Caps.
Maybe the CSN feed was inconclusive but the FSN feed pretty clearly showed it deflected off of Ovechkin's stick.

Burn the 2nd period tape. Worst period of the year so far.
Nice on the two points.
Thanks mojo for a point after I picked him up on my fantasy team.
Translation: He's becoming a vet, so he's allowed some things that the young players aren't allowed to do.
I was wondering why he was warthing in pain when the puck looked to miss the face.
I thought in clipped his temple on the back of the helmet in the replay.
To some extent, yeah, especially regarding his new crosschecks, but his overall physical presence has also improved. Less mild, more wild, more willing to initiate and persist in scrums. He's still not going to blow you up center-ice, but it looks like his hits along the boards have more heft to them and he's better about pushing/pinning skaters with his upper body strength.
Unfortunately I can't sign into HFBoards at work, so most games I won't be on. Glad to see the caps fight through a horrible period and get a road win vs a good playoff capable team.
In regards to the lack of guys on this board, while I agree some of it has to do with the lack of interest with the regular season (lets be honest, this is a 82 game pre-season for a lot of us). But I do think there are some things this board could do to help stimulate the conversation.
I don't know why we have the limit on threads. We have a game thread, roster thread and NHL thread. Most active boards let members start a lot more than that. With all the conversations getting jumbled into a couple huge threads its hard to keep it going. Why not have a thread talking about Orlov, one on MoJo, one on the PP ect.. Its easier to follow and helps stimulate a lot more conversation then just two massive threads. Just a thought.
