[KevinM]

What the **** just happened lol

 

[Calicaps]

caps forgot to keep playing.

 

[SimplySensational]

Neuvirth deserves better than these morons.

Fred Murtz = the hero of every hockey fan who ever missed something awesome because they were urinating.

 

[InfernalDark*]

Guess we need more shootout practice

 

[Liberati0n*]

Caps and Flyers really don't like each other this pre-season. Both pre-season games and the rookie game have been violent.

Hopefully the new division will foster deep hatreds and make for some regular season games like this. Although it would be ironic in a division named for a player with probably 0 NHL fights.

 

[KevinM]

Neuvirth is one of the morons, he thought it was in and gave up on the play too.

So glad George believes in this defense.

 

[PuckBuddy]

Seriously though. Can we keep Wilson? Pweeeeze?

 

[Hivemind]

So glad George believes in this defense.

To be fair, only two members of the defense out there tonight were on the Capitals last year.

 

[Langway]

Meh. Orlov & Carrick are making it easy to send them to Hershey and Oleksy should be in the press box (at best).

 

[NobodyBeatsTheWiz]

So glad George believes in this defense.

To be fair, its at least half Hershey.

Carrick definitely needs to get stronger. He's being worked over a lot in the defensive zone tonight. Still looks really good with the puck, both in terms of clearing the zone and offensively, but those strengths will be mitigated by the fact we already have Green and Carlson.

Agreed that Oleksy is looking more and more like a healthy scratch. So much for our abundance of quality 3rd pairing guys.

Yeah what kind of idiot would go into an important preseason game with this defense...?

 

[Langway]

Yeah, emphasis on the quality aspect. On that note I'm surprised Schmidt was sent down while Cajkovsky continues to play. I get the grit factor and he hasn't looked overwhelmed but Schmidt could have used the games better from a developmental standpoint.

 

[SimplySensational]

Man the rebound on the 3rd goal by Neuvy was so lucky... Hits his stick flutters up over his glove and Simmonds knocks it in towards the post.

Also, unless the Capitals step up their game, which I doubt they will, they are going to be outshot for the 7th time this preseason and without Ovechkin tomorrow they're gonna get even less shots vs probably the Blackhawks opening night lineup.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Jeeesus. Carrick looks cool as a cucumber in a bowl of hot sauce out there.

I'm so bummed nobody got my Beastie Boys reference. Now I feel old.

Seconded.

Haven't been on here much but I've been saying that elsewhere; heading into camp, I thought Cajkovsky was going to start the season in Reading; now I'm wondering if the Caps are considering signing him. Not sure why they have played him as much as they have. I know he had a better rookie camp than I was expecting, but still not sure why they are giving him the games they have.

 

[SimplySensational]

The Capitals valuation by Forbes was $250m in Nov 2012, if the Cats are worth 250m the Caps got to be worth 300m

 

[SimplySensational]

Orlov with Strachan instead of Oleksy to start 3rd.

 

[HeyMattyB]

Fehr. Again. Are you kidding me? This effing guy for real!!!!

 

[Langway]

Time to fire up a FehrCam.

 

[Dream Big]

Fehr is money! another goal. Proves my point.
