Per khursydan

Did they swap Williams and johannson?

guess the handedness thing is not an issue. probably just trying a new wrinkle.

[CapitalsCupReality]

Win!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I'd just crush Eichel the way we crushed Karlsson when Ottawa was in town.

That'll get the game going with some fire..

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

No need to target Eichel or any of their other players. Let Wilson/Sill have a go with someone, line up Ennis for a big (and clean) hit, and take the two points.

in other words, prepare for a snoozefest with little to no physical action.

we are just excited to make a boring game exciting. hopefully.

Pretty much. I think it'll be a lot of talk about nothing. Like I've said before, the Sabres mean nothing to the Caps and vice versa. They're not division rivals, there's no prior history or bad blood between the teams (other than Monday), there's not any former players on either side, they're not going to see each other in the playoffs... the two teams are just irrelevant to each other. I think Deslauriers acted like an idiot and I'm not happy about Ennis running into the leading Vezina candidate but I'm not expecting fireworks tonight. Maybe Sill runs around and pops some **** off and I'm totally wrong. Who knows.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Also, here is a pretty funny video with Sill from his time with the Pens. What a goober .

Just let Wilson beat the hell out of him and be done with it.

So does Ovechkin have to "answer" for his dirty hit on Gorges?

Buffalo should send someone to find out.

 

[Blades of Steel]

sabres fans saying players taunting after a fight isn't out of the norm but players/coach getting hyped for a re-match or payback isn't normal.

The league would be out of their minds if we called up a fighter from the AHL with the sole purpose of fighting Ovechkin.

 

[JenniferH]

I'm with the "just win" crowd.

Usually once a guy "answers" for a check it's over and done with. I am all for an exciting game tonight

agree, but it's the celebration they weren't happy about I'd say, not a check. either way, fans are making a bigger deal about it than it really is. The players just settle things on the ice (and scoresheet).

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

True. The team would also never let Ovie fight some AHL plug. Someone would step in before anything happened, as I'm sure would be the case if Sill went after Eichel.

This isn't 'Nam, there are rules.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I also don't think we've recalled a face puncher from Hershey since Hunter recalled The Wrecker back in 2012. Am I missing someone?

Well said.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

I don't believe in hunting players down but if an opportunity presents itself; take it.

That Ennis is starting to bug me some.

 

[RandyHolt]

I would like to see all our players take a shot at the punks most deserving. It should not be up to one person in a scripted fight to get revenge. If I were coach, that is what I would do, tell everyone to nail the guy at least once, or get bagged at the next practice. Or have to buy their way out.

Call it a reverse bounty.
