Washington Capitals & Other Hockey Discussion / Re: R1G1 Caps at Rangers @ 3pm

You have to be aware and do what you can to not take a tumble head/shoulder first, if at all possible. Still haven't heard anything more on Iorio, other than what I posted in the bored thread. (Heard he said "it popped" as he went past the bench hunched over)
And yes Beags, had that been Wilson he'd of probably got a major and review. That's the NHL we have these days.

That could easily, and in my opinion should bave been a 5 minute major and a hearing on a suspension. Iorio has a couple feet from the boards and leaning and the guy pushed him headfirst - that could have ended really badly.
I hate to use the "if that had been Tom Wilson" thing, but it is a fair comment in this case, and if it had been Wilson, there is no question in my mind he would have been penalized, thrown out of the game and suspended.
Disagree. You can't crumple like a bag of potato chips from some little shove. It's not like his back was to the guy. He was trying to carry the puck out and was shoved from the side. That play was a real bad look for Iorio.

Someone needs a snipe or a lucky break to get us going, then we can stall and keep it close, hope Charlie stands on his head and hopefully come out on top. But we don't have any firepower to "make" something happen.
Oshie, love his effort, but his coordination has fallen off a cliff. He can't hang onto the puck at all anymore, even worse than Ovi. Ovie's hit or miss. Wilson has gone missing for a long time now. Paci never showed up, outside of a few games when he first got healthy enough to play and even then didn't put anything in the net. And that's our "star" power..
Hate to say, but Carlson is the only star caliber player doing his job. Good on him!
Just gotta hope and pray the kids take another step in the offseason or it'll be another year of fucks and god dammits. Hoping for a lucky bounce and headstands tonight!!

Think its only ever been worse in a few SHittsburg series than vs NYR in NY
To me I dont think it was total lack of effort. Some yes, but they just looked gassed. It's not that the would not compete, but that they could not compete.
Still..you got to get up for the big games.
What a load of bollocks luv! We played like a herd of three legged donkeys.

This is fine, as long as it’s consistent, and consistently enforced on both teams.
I used to watch rounders a lot. There were umpires behind the plate that were very inconsistent during a game. What was a strike in the 1st inning wouldn’t be by the 4th, but would be again by the 7th. Those umps had very thin skin when called out on it.

This may be my only chance, my only opportunity........ An injury, a concussion.......... any split second this dream could be over.
I ain't here for the laughs. Take a shit or GET OFF THE POT. Some of us want to play. Some of us aren't so good at losing as you old fuckers!
Some of us may never get this chance again.
