Damn, good win with half the team on the sideline. 4, no 5 of our goal scorers out. If we're w/o Eller and or Nicky (and or Wilson) on Thursday, Im with the Canadian.. Just beat a bunch of ass!!

Not sure why you have such a hard on for Z ??? He's been pretty solid. In fact, given that he's new here, I think his conduct has been exemlarary and his leadership, without question. He has a knack of "steadying the ship". I like him.
Oh, I meant to say i agree with most of the rest of your post, especially about Eller.

I don't really. I thought he was a good signing at that figure...for many reasons.
Last night He DID lay a perfect pass into the slot onto the opponents stick for an easy goal though. (should have given him an assist) That was why I said he was doo-doo. He gave up the go ahead goal. Looked like an bonehead Orlov sighting.
Also, He is big and solid and moves guys in the crease, but he is not very mobile. I have seen him get beat around the corners with speed several times. I know he uses his size and reach and experience and smarts.
But...on the PK especially - against quick puck moving teams, I prefer a mobile guy back there on D who can react to movement. He is more stagnant type of stand in the crease and watch guys buzz around. Just a different style that suits his skills. I prefer a PK that attacks the puck and not just stands around and waits for something to happen. That was Caps from years ago and it drove me batty to watch teams just passing and circling and moving and the PK guys just sort of stood there waiting for a break instead of hounding the puck and creating a chance to clear.
It's not like he's Johnny Q Dylan Norris Carlson :raspberry:

Through links and streams? There is NO way that you will ever win a battle about a bad link, or feed with me. Give over! ::)
And yes the new kit is crap.

well yeah but the game streams are in HD. And I have watched streamed games on my laptop at work- it's pretty good. Laptop at 3' is like my 60" HD screen at 10' distance :raspberry:
I literally could not see the puck at times. I toughed it out and lived through it. 8)
Felt like a really good win. Was good to see (well...sort of ...at least the part I could see)

NIce win. I have always thought the Caps should rotate some players in from time to time. Keeps guys on their toes, gives some hope to the younger guys and allows them to rest an older guy every now and then. A couple things.
Faceoffs - we stink and it costs us points. Get a faceoff coach - work on it every practice!
Shootouts - don't mess with the first three - Oshie, Kuzy, Backstrom but after that, why not try Eller every now and then, or now maybe Schultz. Ovi should not be one of the top 6 - although that would be insulting to our leader so I get why they keep him in it.
