GDT R1G4 Capitals at Canadiens W 5-2
BlackIce:
What I don't understand is where all this bad blood comes from between the Caps and Montreal. They aren't in the same Division. They play each other 3 times a season. There's no reason that I know of why they should hate each other so much. I mean, the playoffs ARE intense and teams go after each other, but this seems out of the ordinary.
At some point I want to discuss the "Carlson controversy," which has been going on for years. It's time we hashed this out once and for all. But not here and now.

I don't think there's any real hate there.
I could imagine that the Habs coach might say to his team that the only way they had a chance of winning against us would be to disrupt our game and our team, which they did successfully in game 3. That's why they brought in their "enforcer" and kept going after Willy, to keep him off the ice.
When we refused to be goaded in game 4, they lost.
Thats my take on it anyway.

Carlson controversy :huh:
No controversy. He sucks. Period. :lol:

The only real hate is that contract. Too much money, and too long.

Agreed. No hate. Did not like Carlsons style of play for first several year...he made leaps and bounds of improvement but has always been too mild mannered for me as a big dman. He has been very good for the Caps over the last 4-5 years.
This year...he's been bad, and he's been terrible in the playoffs thus far. He has to be nursing something because he's just slow, and out of position.
