Regular season game, 2009-2010 Caps built for regular season, they have the edge right? That's how this works?

It'll be interesting to see if Trotz is willing to let the guys run and gun a bit, or just focus on taking the 2009-2010 Caps out of their game. The latter seems smarter, the first seems like more fun on Saturday night of a long weekend.

Just win!

Our best passer passed the concussion test after the game our captain passed Beliveau in goals, which gives us a better chance to pass Dallas in goals.

[That's not very good, I know]

We all know how to beat the 09-10 Caps: Hot goalie! Go Holtby!

EDIT: Oh man, the Stars' GDT title. :laugh:

The Capitals lead the NHL in goal scoring, goal differential (plus-57) and on the power play (24.2 percent). They aren’t solid on the other side of the puck. They rank fifth in goals against (2.26), third in team save percentage (.922), and their penalty kill is fourth (83.9 percent).

“They know they can score, but I think they want to believe they can lock it down when the game is right there in their hands,” said Stars coach Lindy Ruff. “They’ve got all the components. They’ve got the speed; they’ve got the skill. I like the defense they’ve got. Their all-around game has been good. [Goaltender Branen] Holtby has been excellent.

What a load of BS by the Stars beat writer. The Caps are 2nd in goals against per game. Yet we're not solid defensively :laugh:

Coming from the Stars beat writer, I find it quite ironic. Also, Branen Holtby.

^ I think he was being sarcastic there - playing on the fact that while we have solid defensive numbers, they aren't as dominant as our offensive.

Dallas has been our kyptonite recently but I feel like they played a great game a few months ago and lost on a bad turnover.

Going to say this game will be evenly played but Holtby is much better than Niemi/Lehtonen. 4-2 Caps.

Oh ok. People should stop using sarcasm on the Web, it really doesn't work well. But Branen Holtby though :laugh:

Honestly, I don't think it was that sophisticated. Looks like a typo to me.

Blessed are the copy editors.
