That didn't take long:

Oh boy.

 

[RandyHolt]

That didn't take long:

Haha, I think they got him in a feeble effort to counter Wilson, get a little tougher. Dress him at RW, as Brian Burke suggested may be worth a shot for whoever took him in a poor mans Wilson role. Very poor.

Me? If I was building a D to stop Ovi and Willy, it certainly wouldn't be with 7 small puck movers. I wouldn't expect them to survive 7 games.

 

[BallardEra]

Damn. Both hips and he's only 21:

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Damn. Both hips and he's only 21:

Wow. And this explains his awful play perhaps. How does this happen anyways?

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Damn. Both hips and he's only 21:

Brutal.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I wonder if it's osteoarthritis... my friend (similar age as Puljujarvi, little younger) has that in both of his hips because of genetics. Had to miss his entire college soccer season because of the pain, and was finally able to have surgery on it last week to fix it. That would certainly explain poor play if true.

 

[kicksavedave]

Damn. Both hips and he's only 21:

Ouch, literally. There was some chatter on here before th TDL about a Burky for Puli trade, and obviously now we're all glad that didn't happen. Doubt it was more than an HF specu-rumor anyway.

 

[RandyHolt]

He is a Legend

Terrible Ted Lindsay

Tuesday night will be interesting. All the relevant parties in action, except for our boys. Makes for fun watching. (It’s like the off-night during the playoffs, when your own team is sitting and you can watch the other games without extreme levels of stress)

 

[searle]

Some great blind punches here, take note for next time Nisky!

 

[Skrudland2Lomakin]

6/9/2018: Larry Brooks says Ovechkin is still a loser and the Capitals had an easy path to the Cup because they didn't have to play the Rangers

3/3/2019: Capitals sweep New York Rangers in season series for 1st time, Lundqvist posts 4.77 season GAA against Caps (0-2 3.51 last year)

The Los Angeles Kings and Chicago Blackhawks have zero Stanley Cup victories over the Capitals, which begs the question, how legitimate are these so called "dynasties". /s

This is exhibit B of why I want the Jackets not to even make the playoffs. Exhibit A, is the taunt they gave to the Caps and Kuzy with the Bird mocking and then their fan base following up on it when the Caps played them again in Columbus. Additional evidence is that I've mentioned it before that I correlate a fan bases Hockey IQ with the number of their fans that sit in the first row and bang on the glass. The more folks doing this, the less hockey IQ the fan base has ( we have some idiots doing this and in the Ottawa game I even saw some clown kicking the glass with his legs, you do that you should be removed from the arena). Columbus fans bang on the glass a lot. Also just because you wear a referee uniform to the game, doesn't raise your hockey IQ and actually does the opposite.

BTW, watching Leafs games I may have missed it but I don't recall seeing their fans banging on the glass, just saying.

Burke, Doug Maclean, Nick Kypreos and others were calling on the Leafs to pick him up.

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Damn. Both hips and he's only 21:

Any mention of the recovery time. Can't imagine that we'll see him next season.

Canes with the toughest opponent, Boston. Isles, Pens and Jackets should all have layups, but you never know.

 

[marcel snapshot]

A Jackets fail tonight vs. the Devils would make it hard to avoid a conclusion that they are playing way too uptight. Torts doesn't strike me as a guy who's very good at making his team looser in pressure situations, but maybe he has some undetected ability in this area.

Scratching a guy they literally just acquired isn't exactly going to make them grip the sticks loose.


They're really about to snatch the banner of choking right out of our cold dead hands...

 

[BallardEra]

Marchand is such a troll The NHL reply is gold too :

 

[442]

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Washington would have to have a guy that can win faceoffs for that to work.

 

[Melkor]

Washington would have to have a guy that can win faceoffs for that to work.

Took words right out of my mouth.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Oshie on his backhand is pretty solid. Or Backstrom on his backhand. Both are over 50%, right?

Flu bug going around the Islanders atm.... Fingers crossed the unexpected happens....

Lets go:
Montreal against LA
Ottawa against Isles
Carolina against Bawston
Columbas against Nu Joy See
Florida against clovers

 

[txpd]

ok....I love the Whalers gear that Carolina is wearing. Not sure what got into them to do that but playing in Boston in Whale green and then watching the game get dirty from the start. Brilliant idea

Not getting much cooperation so far tonight. The Metro ain't gonna lay down for us, have to take it by force... (that is, if we actually care )
