GDT: B's @ Caps, 3/5/2013 @ 7:00 PM at the Phone Booth

[RandyHolt]

wow the new guy feels the need to talk already. That tells me the room doesn't have a talker. Not that Ovi is that type of captain of course, but I think teams need one. But after watching 24/7 I was really hoping the awkwardness in the room was just tied to our losing streak. Maybe it was just Brouwer and Laich out.

I still get a laugh out of Knuble saying it won't be a laugher vs Boston. It was a laugher IIRC.

Can't wait for McPhee to extend Fehr, then Fehr to get hurt again and everyone resumes being mad at McPhee for signing Fehr.

I do think he's earned an extension. Probably the best 3-zone player the Caps have right now.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

If they want to make a serious run, George needs to find a vet Dman.

And a top-6 left winger.

lol what?

Hendricks on 1st intermission: "Volpatti made a great comment. He said, 'Boys, let's just focus on winning the second period.' "

 

[Capitlols]

Step aside, Troy Brouwer.

Shows how leaderless this team is was.

 

[Liberati0n*]

Step aside, Troy Brouwer.

Obviously Brouwer was texting him what to say.

Ovie rush, elbow to Rask's chin. Old days, bucket of blood down Penn Ave. New NHL, no retaliation.

 

[Atlas]

I saw you had posted that, and you are damn right, it just happens in hockey.

I think the 2 goal lead has been replaced by the 3 goal lead, as the worst in hock

Yeah, it's one thing to beat a team in their barn. But embarrassing them is too much for NHLers. They're all too good for that (usually). Holtby made some sweet saves and BOS missed a couple they shoulda had. It happens.

Whoa Backstrom has 19 points now, 17 assists, 2 goals. Forgot about that 2nd goal. Ovi only 17... but Backstrom seems to have a lot of secondary assists.

He is playing very well. He has since like the 3rd or 4th game of the season. And people constantly ***** on him here, and I never understood. He's been very good defensively. Very good keeping the puck in the offensive zone. He's made some incredible passes. Yes the goals aren't there, but he has never been a goal scorer.

To be honest, I wouldn't mind seeing him and Ovi back together.

That is simply..AWESOME! hahahaha

Good win. Caps outhit the Bruins 23 to 22. Thats the first time all year I recall the Caps out hitting an opponent.

Tuffnezz helps no matter how you cut it and dice it. Erskine with a nice bout. Oleksy with a monster hit on a tough dude. Ovechkin with a clean hit that somehow got called and drove the net.

Lessons learned from playing for a steady team in Vancouver. Nice.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

I am proud the guys battled back after the first period. Important win and nice night by Fehr. Very impressed.

I always like to think that guy is someone who posts here.

Fairly certain 'that guy' had those seats for years and was not allowed to renew them specifically because of that video. I've seen him several times this year so he may moved but he's no longer in those seats.

 

[Halpysback*]

Funny how a week ago half the board was jumping on Milbury's nuts after he "rightfully" called out Ovechkin, and here we are.

Love it. Milbury is an a-hole.

Love it. Milbury is an a-hole.

He's consistent at being one.

Not if it all goes down as I wished a week ago. 2 years $1.8.

Lets not overreact here. He's been well below par this season. Tonight was a perfect 19 game...hardly noticeable until the game winner where he made the sweet plays in all 3 zones, then you realize he has 3 assists. Hopefully this is the start of a little more offense from 19.

 

[Portable Mink]

i cry dolphins.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Glad to see Ovy standing up for himself in the press RE: Fat Mike.

Cheers to Volpatti, this team needs more Ra-Ra guys to spark em.

 

[SimplySensational]

You know whats interesting is, Milbury was on the air today.

Staal gives up the puck to Hodgson, pulls a Semin glide and tries for a hook on Hodgson, then gives up on the play and Semin jumps forward looking for a stick lift and misses it, but either way it was a 1 on 2, but Staal no effort, no criticism from Milbury of course, may have to praise a Russian!
