IINM analytics types that don't like him should really look at his CorsiRelQoC.

Corsi is not the be all end all. Corsi experts are a bit too know it all for me. A better analytics will eventually develop and Corsi with be in the rear view window. A bit like the +/- not telling the whole story. Remember 55.

I've always felt Orpik played his d roll well. He may not be the fastest skater. Todd Reirdon in his interview speaks highly of him. "capped out at 22 minutes" "best penalty killer"

He's a left D

 

[Dream Big]

Good one.

 

[InfernalDark*]

haha, was guessing 5x5 earlier, pretty close

The Caps Nepotism Tour continues. This guy had better get a Keith Richards blood transfusion or something and bring the motherf$#^g ruckus the next 5 years.

 

[DCRedhawk21]

Well this certainly answers the question on where they pencil him in. Say hello to the top-4 LD answer we've all been waiting for......

BRB, vomiting

I came over to pass my condolences.
Good riddance, Brooks.

Wow, good luck with this one, Caps' fans. Coming in peace because I'm feeling bad for you. Orpik has next to nothing left in the tank now, let alone in five years. There's a reason we didn't even open discussion to re-sign him.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

My sincerest condolences, Caps fans. Nobody deserves this to happen to them.

I'm truly sorry guys. 5.5 a year is insanity.

 

[Chessarmy]

Okay, that's a little expensive

 

[Shwag33]

He's excellent at checking people into his own goalie and net, after the puck has already gone in.

[Frederick Stanley]

Orpik was terribad last season. Sorry for you guys.

 

[g00n]

We haven't had a guy who's good at glaring for a while. Not since Witt.

Hey at least you can start your FIRE GMBM campaign a bit ahead of schedule right?

Pretty cruddy deal but whatever. We got him, he's better than alot of what we had and is a vet presence that is physical.

What can we do really? Just hope he adds enough to justify even a decent percentage of that contract.

 

[Hivemind]

I look forward to having a 39 year-old Brooks Orpik on this team.

 

[DearDiary]

Pens fans checking in. Overpaid for a 7th defensemen, he still has speed, but don't expect him to hit anymore or do anything other than give the puck away. Your all in my prayers

 

[NeilYoung]

Great nice to have our version of Clarkson

 

[cjm502]

I will be thinking of you guys, I am truly sorry.

 

[Burakovsky95*]

Oh my. This is an awful day for this franchise. Awful. What a horrid contract. Shameful.

lol at the pity party
