Out of Town Thread: 2018-2019 IV

[Per Sjoblom]

Make sense, did not even think about Halloween and players wanting to trick of treat with their little ones.

Darn! I forgot to put razors and and needles in the candy, oh well there is always next year!

Condon was blocking 95% of shots for a while, he was basically a condom.

 

[The Great Weal]

Brutal start for Kopitar

4.9% off from the legendary backstopper, Condom.

Its around 80% in real world settings, which is around what you can expect of Condon too. So, he really is like a condom.

Ovechkin is the one who gave him his stick! Such a class act.

He has a wonderful reputation as a stick gifter and kids couldn't be happier. This kid's reaction is priceless:

 

[PaulD]

They said Barzal would struggle without Tavares

Barzal is great player all on his own.

 

[PaulD]

His time here was beginner's luck, players missing the net on empty nets, shooting the puck right in his chest, bounces going there ways...
When that stop, man it was ugly.
45 wins and 75 loses in 129 games.
If you want to tank, Condon is your man.

Yes when he all of a sudden stopped playing well in Montreal in 016..................the team nosedived to the bottom of the standings.

If you want to tank.

Condon is your goalie.(or Scrivens)

Bergevin is your GM.

 

[Toene]

The "heir" of Ovechkin's throne with his 4th of the year... yikes. Toews has seven...

We don't always take the time to underscore the good that players do, so I'll add a few more stories involving Ovechkin:

Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin surprised 10-year-old Ann and asked her on a date during the Capitals’ game versus the Carolina Hurricanes on Oct. 5. Ovechkin and Ann, a native of Laurel, Md., met on Sept. 11, during an American Special Hockey Association (ASHA) skate with 60 children and adolescents hosted by Ovechkin at Kettler Capitals Iceplex, the official training facility of the Capitals. During the session, Ann, who has the genetic disorder Downs Syndrome, skated to Ovechkin and invited him on a sushi date. Ovechkin granted her request during the Capitals final preseason game at Verizon Center.

EDMONTON — Alex Ovechkin and a couple of his Capitals teammates decided to go shopping during their day off in Edmonton on Friday when Ovechkin spotted a man on the street without a shirt. By Edmonton standards, it was a warm day with temperatures in the 50s, but it pained Ovechkin to see the man without proper winter attire.

Ovechkin still went shopping, but his purchase of a hat, sweater and winter coat was for the man he saw on the street. A local cafe recognized Ovechkin performing this act of kindness and tweeted about it. Ovechkin’s wife then later posted a photo of a text conversation with Ovechkin in which he told her in Russian that he purchased some clothing for the man because he felt sorry for him with how cold it is here.

Thanks for all you do, Alex. I'm sure you're doing a lot more for others that we don't know about.

Barzal is great player all on his own.

I am not very impressed by Tavares since I started read about if he was staying or moving from Islanders. He seems to dissappear quite a bit. OTH he broke the cap of the Leafs.

Cool stuff @Runner77 , Alex Ovechkin is a star in the NHL but a decent human being as well, the man is adored by so many fans of the game. That big bad Russian is certainly a favorite of mine, couldn't be happier for him to have finally won the cup to add to so many great achievements.

Now we all know what it is that he knew all of this time.

Outside of ex-Habs, he was the main reason I was hoping the Caps would win last year.

And of course, there was that epic flash as he was parading the Cup. Too bad he missed it.

Pomminville playing his 1000th game tonight in Ottawa. So who else besides Keith, Plekanec, Spezza, and Pomminville have hit that milestone in the first month of the season?

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Its around 80% in real world settings, which is around what you can expect of Condon too. So, he really is like a condom.

Is that because they break or because someone hasn't put them on correctly?

I just listened to a podcast, it is Ryan Suter and Ron Hainsey will reach it on Saturday (they were talking about Spezza and Hainsey when somebody mentioned Suter). They also mentioned Hainsey was a first round pick for Montreal.

 

[PaulD]

Liking how many Penguins games are on sports net so far this season. Best team to watch by far. Powerplay puck movement fantastic.

 

[The Great Weal]

Quinn Hughes is a beauty. I still can't believe some people compared him to Mete.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Leafs 2-0 down in the thid. Dallas 2nd was a beauty.

 

[Per Sjoblom]

Pomminville just scored.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Thomas Chabot ad 15 points.

 

[BLONG7]

Brutal start for Kopitar

And he makes 10.5M...............I wonder if they are eating him alive on their board!! lol

His production was awful two seasons ago, good last year, guess he is due for another stinker this season.
