Which Caps' player has impressed you the most so far?
- Thread starter thadd
- Start date
Chimera/Perreault/Fehr/Ward. All the guys coach Langway didn't believe in.
For the Rangers Tim Peel has really made things happen out there. #Refsfault #leagueconspiracy

Schultz has been impressive, the Caps have yet to give up a goal in this series while he's been on the ice.

Pshaw.
Probably Perreault for me. He's brought it and I wasn't sure if he could against a bigger, more physical team in the playoffs.

Perreault, Fehr, Oleksy have all played very well.
Yeah, I'd say Perreault, he does not look lost at all in the playoffs, battles through everything, and somehow suddenly seems in better shape than in regular season. Bodes really well for the future.

I talked crap on Oleksy earlier. Wow has he been awesome this series. The guy is a keeper. Who knew he had this in him?

I wanted Ward promoted.
were you afraid that Fehr would become upset?
After a loss and you still defend pinning Ward brought here for playoff heroics on 4?
Really
You move him what, after 6 games?
You wanted to switch Ward and Fehr, which at the time would have put Fehr on the fourth line. I don't know what your post meant before you edited it.
And you edit again. No, I suggested switching Brouwer and Ward instead. I'm like the most pro-Ward person on this forum. I don't care if Fehr gets upset, but managing player confidence is a real aspect of coaching. That's beside the main point anyway, which is that Fehr had been one of the best players. He should have been getting more ice time, for the sake of the team's chances.

Hey guys,
I'm a Canucks fan, only jumped on the Caps bandwagon at the start of the playoffs. So I've definitely got a bit of an outsider perspective...
Perreault, Olesky and MOJO have all really impressed me, we definitely don't hear a lot about any of those guys out West. I would probably say I'm the most impressed with MOJO though, really dynamic player.
Least impressive: Erskine. Looks like he has most of the tools to be a solid stay at home D-man, but he seems to panic with the puck and not make good decisions. He also seems to have quite a bit of problems with the Rangers forecheck.
Obviously guys like Ward and Green have also been very impressive, but I have seen quite a bit of those guys before.

Yay hockey!
So far, it's gotta be "Future 2C" "part of the elite forward of the team" Perreault. He is making things happen all over the place.
Honorable mention to Green.

Please spell our players' names correctly when you post on our board.
We keep him in the lineup because of his toughness and the other LD options being Jeff Schultz (
) and Dmitry Orlov, whom Oates doesn't look to be a big fan of.Like I said in the other thread.
MP. I thought he was pretty good in the regular season, but he's stepped it up in the playoff. His hustle. His compete level. Everything has been fantastic. What an awesome scrappy little center. Everything I'd hoped he'd be.
Mojo on the other hand is absolute garbage.

This was Erskine's worst game in a while IMO. Overall, he's been pretty good this year. He adds a level of toughness to the team that is needed (contrast this with Hillen, Green). Sure, he's not the guy who you want the puck on his stick. He does have an ok slapshot though.
