I like Bergeron.  Wish he was one of ours.

file that away for future reference, when outside of the paint goalie interference is aloud

I think Smith Pelly gets benched

Maybe we need a poll to see what the consensus is.  it's a tough choice either way and a great position to be in for the Caps.

Good result.  Holtby played very well tonight.
Decent first period, shaky second, but great 3rd period, all things considered.
Still too many penalties for my liking and this with non bad reputation refs.


Fun game to watch.
I am

Alex had two goals tonight, and not the one you think

  I don't think anyone dislike Bergeron. Excellent player. Definately one of the most intelligent players in the league. I'd love to have him too.

   Lol early in the season we had 6 or 7 guys that could have been benched. Now none of them deserve to be benched but someone has to. I am not surprised at all that things have turned around for this club since the beginning of the season. I'm enjoying watching this team.

   Too bad the Islanders didn't help us out tonight. We could have had sole possession of first in the metropolitan. I think the Islanders are going to start fading. Weak defense and goaltending.

Well said Maaco!
I'd like to add to your point, also. From the start of preseason, both myself and others, have said that this would also be a litmus test for Trotz and the coaches. He did not have the advantage of inheriting all that talent, this year, and was forced to either show his coaching abilities by helping to build a team up, or NOT!!  I admit that around games 15-18, or so, it wasn't looking good at all, for Trotz and Co.  But I have to give Trotz and all his support a lot of credit. They've got a lot to improve on, obviously but its now getting to be undeniable, that he has done, and is DOING, the things necessary to successfully begin to turn this team around, both in playing, and the mentality! He officially gets props from me, for what he has accomplished so far!

hmmmm, it appears Trotz forté is bringing up young talent. Opposed to taking proven talent through the playoffs

Welcome!  Glad to have you.  I've copied your post count over from the other site so you can skip the whole newbie thing.  Your next level is the final one called "Hockey Diety" at 5000 posts.

I'd take a Joel Ward for two Smelly's any day of the week!  But I can't deny I have issues with poncy, pretentious double-barrelled names.
Does that count?  ;)

Hey AJ!
Bura looked ok tonight, and actually had a great steal and setup pass for Kuzy to get the assist the other night, but his window will be short if he doesn't start producing here soon! Haven't heard yet as to exactly when Oshie is returning, my guess will be this Saturday possibly, as he's been skating!


Two BIG differences, that don't seem to be getting as much mention lately, with the caps play, is that they are crashing or near the net, more and more, AND, they are really starting to ELEVATE the puck much more often, resulting of course in better production!


It would be too early and unfair, to sit Bura, when Oshie returns, though I'd fall out of my chair if it happened! To be fair, Bura on that third line, with Cono and Eller, had some good chemistry last year!
