Course there is.
Nothing for the cheap shot artist who targetted Kuzys head. Course not. ::)
Mickstix:
Ovi scored twice, win win!! And another lopsided drubbing.. Probably not a coincidence that we only start looking decent once the other team has multi goal leads. During the competitive portions of the game we get outmatched every time. Maybe they can get up for the big home game vs the Jackets! :snicker:
BlackIce:
Caps just ahead of the Sabres/Sens/Wings, all of them with games in hand. But they are all playing as bad or worse than we are, so it is really a tossup whether we pick 10th, 11th, 12th, or 13th. Everyone else is either far enough ahead or far enough behind us that we can't pass or sink below them.

How many teams get in on the "lottery"?

Oof...didn't watch till late and already knew the outcome so I spent about 30 minutes FFWD through this one.
Hit on Irwin should have been a boarding call - 2 minutes.
Hit on Kuzy....is tough. He was definitely in a vulnerable position, but the MAIN point of contact was not the head. A split second earlier and it's interference. He head definitely whiplashed. Not sure how Kuzy hurt his wrist on this hit. I expect this hit will get at least looked at. It did start with at least the shoulder, but it do come through and make some head contact. The shitty part is, this is nearly identical to the preseason hit that landed Willy a 20-25 game suspension, and there is no consistency with the calls. The refs did nearly let this game get out of control. I expect that's why they hit Oshie with a misconduct and instigating...trying to calm the seas.
Not surprised the Caps lost this one. The Wild have been on a tear the last 10 games or so....ramping up for the playoffs, like you need to....not limping along hoping everyone else helps you get in so you can get destroyed in the first round.
I hate the concept of playing to lose, but it would be better for the draft/future. I don't think the Caps will actually make the playoffs, but I can fathom them beating Boston in the first round if they did. I don't have any fantasies the Caps can make a deep run this year so what's the advantage of them making it this year? Other than a couple extra games of entertainment, ending in failure and frustration.
Lavi...I am curious as to what the ownership/management plans are regarding coaching. I don't dislike Lavi, but I think this team needs to fire everyone on the bench and start fresh. This team NEEDS to go in a new direction, but is Lavi the guy to take it there?
