Where is this myth coming from that Burakovsky isn't a decent defensive player? He's no Bergeron for sure, but he's not a friggin' liability like the Kuzy/Ovie/Wilson line. Watching the games this year, time after time after time it's that line that can't get out of its own way, can't handle a forecheck, and struggles mightily to get the puck out of the defensive zone. There's more to defense than being a stonewall to the opposition. You have to be able to turn the play, and our supposed #1 line is not very good at either, frankly. They are a lot more of a concern than any line Burakovsky has been on.

Myth? You are kidding. Burakovsky and Vrana are probably the worst defenbsive players on the team. Burakovsky always has good defensive linemates. Come on man. He usually plays with Backstrom and Oshie. From what I have seen. We care a better team when he isnt in the lineup.
I agree that the first line us a concern at times. They get hemmed in the defensive zone alot.

For those of you who missed Malkin's injury, he got it trying to slewfoot Lehtera. When Malkin slewed him, Lehtera fell backwards onto Malkin's outstretched leg and bent it backwards. Serves Malkin right. Hard to feel sorry for a player who hurts himself trying to hurt someone else.
RavenCp:
It doesn't look that home advantage works well for Caps in playoffs. May be to much pressure from own crowd. I wish we started in Pit, and may be game 7 was ours.

The fact that slew footing is "ok", but hitting to hard can get you 5 games and more each good hit there after, proves this leagues effort to clean up the game is entertainment for soccer moms.
Malkin is a known and repeated slew footer, which is the one most dangerous and flat out chick-shit, faggy-tranny, unmasculine, other effeminate and spineless move in sports.
He needs a 50 gamesuspension and/or a target & price on his head.

Damn right!
I'm sure if Trotz had his way Stevenson would have taken his spot months ago. But he's part of the E.U. with a new contract, he probably didnt have much of a choice.
