Player Discussion TJ Oshie

[txpd]

Huh? That suspension was from this pre-season.

It was afterall preseason. This is a fairly well established trend. Players don't get suspended for doing Caps players.

Oops... Reading is fundamental.

 

[Calicaps]

That's about it. If Wilson runs over that guy in g5, he gets 5 and a game and the rest of the playoffs off

FTFY

My son is starting his first season of checking hockey coming up and I told him straight up that if he ever hits a player, even a little push, when he can see their name and/or number I will pull him off the ice immediately. Just way too dangerous and too many really bad things can come of it.

I can't believe I actually agree with one of your posts but I do.

Shoulder or collar bone. When he rolls onto his back that's exactly what he reaches for.

Disgusting that Brind'amour downplayed this as a legal hit that Oshie just wasn't ready for. Cross check to the small of the back, which pushes your entire center of gravity, directly into the boards from behind. Very dangerous and clearly intentional.

It wasnt a vicious hit but it clearly wasnt clean. How is a crosscheck to the back into the boards clean?

I hate the NHL, dops, members

 

[BobRouse]

The best punishment that can be doled out to the Canes is for the Caps to win the series.

They can use this as an emotional rallying point and use the DOPS questionable decisions to fuel that.

 

[Corby78]

Win it for TJ! Win it for Kempny! Cross check bettman when he walks out with the cup

They also used this as a physical rallying point. Ovi had Dougie tapping out for an easy goal. The refs were horrible once again, and maybe those PK kills helped rally the team. Heh I just heard Nick say the PK turned the game around.

 

[Sam Spade]

Alright who had broken collarbone in the pool?

 

[RandyHolt]

Broken collarbone... my guess was totally wrong. I bet he was spotted with the "I broke my collarbone" brace.

 

[AtNightWeFly]

Alright who had broken collarbone in the pool?

 

[Calicaps]

I thought that was it. Just the hunch over stabilizing the arm/shoulder and the obvious pain...

Player Discussion - TJ Oshie

 

[Raikkonen]

Collarbone is what? 2 months minimum? Pity

Ok, next man up

Maybe Oshie will be well rested for 3rd cup in a row now

Ps: have to eat some crow because tj showed he cares... But me picking him as a guy under question was only done as competitor for $$$/slot against all of vrana/connolly/bura

Surely Oshie is now 2nd on the chart of wingers to keep from that group (behind vrana). Imho ofc. Surely tj is now more important player but we are talking caps future in the end.

Refs are always kinda bad but it’s a very hard sport to ref. No suspension to Foegele would bring Oshie back.

Glad Foegele played. He was quite bad that game. Maybe even constantly looking over his shoulder for 8, 43 and 25.

Hurricanes play far more bravely at home so Caps need to bring it. Vengeance for Oshie

 

[RandyHolt]

Hopefully the rally cry of do it for Oshie lasts more than just game 5. Its cool the local NFL star Ryan Kerrigan chugged his beer Oshie style during the game, and more importantly, for the camera for all to enjoy.

The argument is and always has been that the contract will be bad in the last few years.

There isn't a single Oshie hater on this board.

Why change other people's arguments to appear right?

The argument was that the contract would be bad and shouldn't be entered into. That entering into it was a mistake. Oshie hater? Not sure where that term was used first. Certainly not me. Should I put you in the category that it was a bad contract and they should have passed?

No, the argument is that it's a good contract for the first few years but as he slows down with injury it will become an albatross.

I don't see why you are crowing victory in year 2 when the debate has never been about year 2. It's about years 4-8.

Still missing the big picture I see. Players age...it’s life.

It’s about the Cup, and he was integral in getting us our first.

The Oshie contract can already be labeled a success IMO.

Of course it's a success. Who's arguing otherwise?

And if we trade Oshie, do we lose that cup? No, so I don't see why people get offended when someone suggests trading him before the contracts turns bad or getting Seattle to take him.

Well...the debate has been about year 1 and 2 and 3. I think this is the disconnect the bad contract don't do it people have. The choice is would you rather make runs at more cups because that player brings something not replaceable or would you rather let him go and do without?

Its the Brooks Orpik argument. Orpik was worth the overpay in his last season all day and night. TJ Oshie has been worth the overpay in his last two seasons by what he has brought in the first two seasons. Players like Orpik and Oshie are NEVER an albatross. Its insulting to use that term.

They are trying to win NOW after having won last season. Like Orpik, I am perfectly comfortable with dealing with Oshie's contract when the times comes. Cross that bridge when we get to it. MacLellan has always handled these things well. I think ive seen people as recently as a month ago suggesting the Caps should trade Oshie in the off season. That is nuts.
