GDT: Caps vs Canes 12MAR13

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

Just finished reading "Battle at Bull Run" by William Davis, this particular line kind of sums up the season for this team:

Reminiscing about your youth?

 

[SimplySensational]

It'd be nice if Ovechkin didn't pretend Semin didn't exist and nailed him. Would be huge motivator for the team to see Ovi hit Semin.

 

[SimplySensational]

Wait... Schilling is playing over Orlov...

WTF?

 

[BiPolar Caps]

Reminiscing about your youth?

Well played.

Sadly that's the last time such a statement will appear in this thread.

 

[InjuredChoker]

Wait... Schilling is playing over Orlov...

WTF?

I think Orlov still might need some time to get some conditioning and rhytm back, assuming he was totally shut down during the injury.

 

[Carlzner]

Great, we're going to win tonight and then our organization and even some of the fans are back to believing we're a good team.

Makes perfect sense. No need to rush him back into the **** storm in Washington.

Funny how everybody keeps saying this team misses Semin when what this team really misses is Mike Knuble. Not ONE of you has mentioned that, in any of the threads.

Misses him how, lack of leadership? That's the only way I can see him missed today.

 

[Wendy Clear]

4-2 Canes.

Mike Knuble was the one and only player telling Ovechkin to not play with reckless abandon. In what world should the Caps be missing him? All the other coaches are gone and Knuble being gone at the same time means the "tone it down," crew is gone.

Interesting, in the Vancouver is a tailspin thread someone posted this:

What's wrong with Vancouver? Same as what's wrong with Washington. They overreacted to a playoff series loss and attempted to change the team's identity when it didn't need changing.

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

The one player the Caps really miss is Ovechkin.

 

[Atlas]

Go Canes! Help us get George fired!

 

[tycoonheart]

We win this one tonight.

 

[SimplySensational]

Calle looks like he could be Schillings father...

How does the PP get a B+? Their 4th in the league @ 25.6%. Should be an A.

 

[foundhockey]

We win this one tonight.

Let's do it!

 

[tycoonheart]

Why was MP scratched last game?

 

[SimplySensational]

Why was MP scratched last game?

He wasn't...

 

[capitalsrock]

Canes fan coming in peace

Semin > Ovechkin

 

[tycoonheart]

He wasn't...

Hmm. I couldn't watch it but I checked the stats and I didn't see him. Must have overlooked.

 

[RandyHolt]

Ovi just destroyed someone

great to see him a part of passing plays on the rush

 

[Brad Tolliver]

That's the Johansson we know and love.

 

[RandyHolt]

flashes of theo and bad angle goals

 

[capitalsrock]

second time in 2 games

come on Holtby

 

[foundhockey]

Aww, the booing at Semin makes me sad.
