GDT: Flyers @ Caps - 9/27/13 @ 7 PM

[Calicaps]

Volpatti not wanting to lose his job.

 

[KevinM]

I wish Chimera pulled that one forehand.

 

[Calicaps]

I wish Chimera pulled that one forehand.

Doesn't have the hands for that move, unfortunately.

 

[SimplySensational]

sk8, seeing as you know a lot of rules at least the CBA, is there a rule against one player pinning an opposing player to the boards and another one hitting him?

 

[Dream Big]

Chimera blows past Luke Schenn sprawling.

 

[Calicaps]

Mojo with two awful passes.

 

[Hivemind]

Not a very good shift there for Carrick in his own zone.

 

[Fred Murtz]

Zach Rinaldo elbowing major Mikhail Grabovski

 

[SimplySensational]

The way the top line is playing with Ovechkin coasting through the preseason is amazing.

 

[KevinM]

Good backcheck there by Wilson, he's been a lot better than I was anticipating this preseason.

 

[Dream Big]

We're talking about a 28 year olds here.

Yes they were 17 year olds then. Fehr had bad health in the mean time and Brouwer didn't. My thought is that Fehr should be just as capable as Brouwer to score 30 goals if given equal opportunity.
Fehr won us the Winter Classic. He's a good player.

 

[Dream Big]

Zach Rinaldo elbowing major Mikhail Grabovski

Wow that was quick.

 

[Fred Murtz]

Eric Fehr goal 1-0

 

[Fred Murtz]

Alex Ovechkin 1 timer goal 2-0

 

[SimplySensational]

I don't see how anyone is competing for Perry's spot, he really annoys opposing players and has pretty damn good numbers for a guy who plays bottom 6.

 

[Dream Big]

Eric Fehr goal 1-0

Nice goal. Goes together with his two in Nashville.

 

[SimplySensational]

Neuvy just got snowed and no response from refs or the Caps.

 

[Hivemind]

25-84-43 not exactly displaying great chemistry tonight.

 

[SimplySensational]

Ovechkin double shifted with Latta and Volpatti.

 

[Langway]

I don't see how anyone is competing for Perry's spot, he really annoys opposing players and has pretty damn good numbers for a guy who plays bottom 6.

Laughlin apparently just called Erat as 3C.

I haven't really seen much agitation from him in the pre-season. I liked his playoff performance last spring but he struggles through the neutral zone IMO. If the right offer comes along they should probably move him since I can't see him being worth whatever he could potentially get in arbitration next summer. Decent player, fine motor but I'm not sure he really fits what they want to be.

 

[Fred Murtz]

Tom Wilson vs Brayden Schenn fight

 

[Hivemind]

Mixed feelings on Perreault. He's great value at around $1M, and certainly provides some quality offensive depth, and has shown the ability to center a bottom six scoring/energy line. On the other hand, it's obvious that management doesn't really think he's going to be a 2C solution at any point, he's limited in the roles in he can take (he's not going to be a checking/shutdown center or kill penalties), he does have some pretty significant holes in his game, and we are in a cap crunch.

 

[Calicaps]

That was all Wilson from D zone to goal. Beauty!

 

[Langway]

Beauty.

 

[Liberati0n*]

I wanted him to go back to Plymouth, but it's impossible not to be excited about watching Wilson this year.
