I've seen McMike multiple times, Sourdif multiple, Beauvi, Hutson... No Leonard in OT. Just makes no sense to me.  ::)

This team needs a lot of things but the most vital is a d-man who can put the body on guys mid-ice like Orlov used to do.  That goal last night where the guy waltzed through three Caps all waving at the puck, was horrible.  Two physical d-men is even better.

You realize, of course, that the LaPierre goal in the Vegas game had him zipping past the defense, who never laid a hand on him?  It isn't like even the better teams lay guys out in mid-ice regularly. 


Defense is played a lot differently in the NHL these days.

this game:   ;D :snicker: :lol: :raised-eyebrow: :O= :O= :'( :praying: :huh: :cross: :thumbsup:


Can't believe how bad Vegas record is in OT and SO.


Surprised Vegas fired Cassidy their head coach.  Seems like odd timing, and they bring in Torts?
FFS - HIT HIM!!!
SHOOT - THE - PUCK

It might be different.  It's not necessarily better.  Too much of the physicality of the game has gone away.  I'm not saying you need a Scott Stevens out there knocking guys unconscious but I see numerous times when puck carriers weave through d-men when even the slightest hit would disrupt their path to a good scoring opportunity.  We haven't had a really physical defenseman since Brooks Orpik.  There's simply too much puck watching and stick waving going on.  I like skating and scoring as much as the next guy but I also like to see the game played as it was meant to be played which includes checking.
