Pre-Game Talk: Canes at Caps, G5

[Ole Gil]

Crowd wasn't booing Oshie. They booed because the Ref put his arm up really late. Fresh off the Ref letting them play on while Martinook appeared to be dying on the ice. That injury seemed serious enough to blow it dead.

Yeah, but the optics looked horrible. I'll admit, i thought he was embellishing and now I feel pretty awful about that. to canes fans we see: "oh yeah they're just booing at the call"--to a Caps fan they would naturally see "they're booing at one of my favorite injured players---what creeps."

This guy has media credentials to cover the Caps for a news station.

Looking through his history... my god. Makes Jack Edwards look stable. At least Edwards seems to know what his shtick is.

I think "jerks" is the word you're looking for there.

I also think it's worth noting that Brindy, Williams and the team have been steadfast in their support of Foegele since Day 1 of training camp. I dare say the majority of us would have banished his "perfect Hurricane" a$$ to Charlotte during the dark days of Nov.-thru-February, but because of Roddy's loyalty, we're getting rewarded with this beautiful playoff performance.

I still would have banished him to Charlotte then with the aim of calling him back and maybe seeing him contribute more in the regular season. More than happy with how it worked out regardless.

I dunno, then we'd be saying the months in Charlotte "built up his confidence" or whatever narrative a la Faulk's rookie year. Modern NHL is a narrative driven sport where everything is post hoc rationalized. If the caps come out in game 5 people'll say Oshie's demise sparked, whether or not that's actually true.
