Keep Holden on, cause you know we'll make it through.

Boy is it ever sad that Jon Carlson could be leading this team in points

 

[ASmileyFace]

Good choice in song. Have a good feeling about this one. Which is usually bad.

Also I don't want to be that guy but you have the Avs as 18-6-8. Which would be awesome tbh.

Didnt realize Backstrom is having himself a decent season so far.

 

[ChibiPooky]

I'm super excited for tonight. Going to watch my two favorite teams play from my company's suite with unlimited food and booze.

Has he had a bad season? Dude seems to be really underrated.

Carlson had more assists than Backstrom like 2 games ago lol. The team has really gelled under Trotz and is playing better than I've seen since 09-10.

Homer opinion, but Carlson should be a Norris nominee, with 31 (24 even-strength) points in 41 games while going +15 against opposing top lines.

Edit: not saying Backstrom isn't having a great season.

Thanks, fixed.

Sounds great, have fun!

I dont think he has. He has dropped off a bit from when he busted into the league though but the guy quietly goes about his business in a Ron Francis like capacity.

I'd sooner nominate Carlson than someone like Shattenkirk. I was listening to a hockey show on XM Radio on Sunday afternoon, and they were handing out their mid-season awards and predicting who would win each award at the end of the year. Can't remember who it was, but it was a 4-person show and all agreed that Kevin Shattenkirk should win the Norris Trophy...

Talk about 4 guys picking an award based 100% on the statistics they see. Guy doesn't even play on the top pair in St. Louis

 

[ChibiPooky]

I think the Avs' speed will be difficult for the Caps to contain. I've seen Washington have trouble this season against fast teams. I could see Duchene getting his mojo back this game as Caps defenders seem to have a lot of trouble when strong players go wide and then cut back along the goal line. With his speed, he could get around the D fast enough to have space to shoot.

This seems to be a surprise to everyone every season
Such a quietly underrated player.

Tell me about it. 535 points in 536 career games. The definition of consistency

 

[Freudian]

Just keep hitting the homeless person they replaced Ovechkin with. It takes him off his game.

1-10: 2-4-4

11-20: 4-5-1

21-30: 4-4-2

31-42: 8-3-1

I wonder if Hejda says anything about Ovie before the game

 

[Avs_19]

I wonder if Hejda says anything about Ovie before the game

He was probably still mad about this when he said it:

Then Ovechkin came out and did this to him:

Just leave it alone, Hejda. Move on.

10-11 and last season. at least for his standards. last season he go the point but 5on5 play left much more to be desired and his D wasn't good.

 

[Taak19]

I like the Caps and Ovi so I won't be upset if we lose but I'd rather a win. Hell, even an OT win would be okay and preferable.

 

[ChibiPooky]

He was probably still mad about this when he said it:

That's a brutal hit, but where was the puck?

 

[5280]

Go Avs Go!

Does anybody remember my Hejda's gonna Hate avatar from the playoffs? He wrecked OVie last year
edit: also, LOL at ROR and Barrie's "controller disconnected" strides. Not that they're really at fault for the goal but it looks awful.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

found it!

Oh great, a pic of Erat.
