  Yup that was a textbook hit. That Columbus pp lasted 2 secs. I'm sure because that ref knew he blkew the call.

sure,mthats makes it better. How bout not call the non penalty to begin with

[HoustonCapsFan]

Make up call washes out the CBJ PP

We don't have a coach or GM or owner who seems willing to stand up for Wilson and get that shit to stop.

[DC_1908]

Well that was messy . . .

   I agree. If the refs were competent they would get it right and they wouldn't have to make the even up call.

if these yahoos would shoot instead of pass it might be 2-0

   What do you suggest they do?

Totally agree with the reason for the makeup call.

Caps playing VERY well that period. Totally dominated the BJ's!

How? We've spoken up about it before and you can get fines and stuff for that shit. The NHL believes your supposed to let the refs do their jobs. I'm not saying I disagree that the reputation call on Wislon there was garbage, and the fact that the ref did a cheapy hooking call immediately after proves it. But I promise you both coaches in that instance are sitting there going "just don't call anything there then ffs."


I thought we had grit that period, while I do agree with you DC some of it was messy I felt our boys handled the mess better than they have. Stephenson looks much better on that second line than Vrana did, he goes to the net, he becomes a hassle to do with on the boards. It totally forces the rest of CBJ off of one of Oshie or Backstrom which ultimately opens up tons of ice.


But the grit and playoff levels of that period was certainly there. We had Bob going out of the net behind the net, his own players running into him. I feel like maybe they are starting to get the idea that you need to get to the goalie to make this work in the playoffs.

CHECK OUT THE POLL. I've been thinking about this for a while. I want to know what you all think.
I set the posts per page at 15 since I setup the site.  I'm wondering if I should increase it a bit.
Need everyone's input. I'll leave it up for a while and you can change your vote if you like.

How about Trotz getting pissed and showing some fucking emotion on the bench.

Where the heck is everybody?

Just got off work, Caps game is NOT on tv, preferred station wants to show BOS VS TOR.

So he can take a two minute penalty? How about he shows as much emotion as Patrick Roy and gets ejected from the game and thrown out of the league for not being professional? Listen, I hear you, the reputation calls on Wilson are bullshit. But it isn't an "anti-caps" thing it's an "anti-enforcer" thing and that isn't one or two refs. It's the league. The same league that didn't want John Scott at the All Star Game. It's so high level that us yelling about is only costs us.


If anything reputation calls across the board should be addressed by our GM at the meeting, with an argument being made that the anti-enforcer bullshit has gone so far that even enforcers that can play aren't even allowed to hit anymore because everything they do is deemed likely illegal. But throwing a tantrum about it does literally nothing. Nothing.

It''s not a binary choice of no emotion vs emotion + bench minor.  You can still bitch at the refs without getting a penalty.


And yes, the GM and even the owner should be addressing this too, as I said earlier.
