This thread is for posting videos of and discussing some of the Best Capitals Goals, Sickest Fights, & Incredible Saves.

Last nights Caps/Stars game was one of the most entertaining games of this season. There were many highlights in this game like the two goals, including the game winner on OT by Andre Burakovsky, but the highlight of the game was the goal by Dmitry Orlov that tied the game 2-2.
When Orly scored that goal I thought I was watching the GR8 Alex Ovechkin. If I had not seen his sweater number I would have sworn it was an Ovie highlight goal.
Anyway, here it is.

Lacher used to say it wasn't a frekas unless Hunter was involved

That Orlov goal was one of the best goals I've seen by player from the Caps. Of course Ovi and Kuzy have scored some sick goals. The one former Cap that comes to mind when you talk about sick goals, its Semin. When he was here he may have been the most skilled player in the league.

Love the Kolzig tribute. One of my favorites Caps ever. He didn't mind mixing it up either.

One of my favourite Kolzig moments.

That
was
awesome!!!

I enjoyed the fight he had with Dafoe too. At that time they said he might have been the toughest guy on the team.
-
Here's some Alexander Semin snipes. The shot this guy had was sick. Couldn't believe how much he got on his shots even when shooting off his back foot. He had a quick release too. I might have to post his fight too.

Thats when it was a mans game! Now the soccer moms would cry that their snowflake kid saw violence so they both need safe spaces so they can come up with new “pronouns” for thier ugly kid
-
Good stuff. That's the brawl I was talking about.
-
My favourite tough guy for the Caps. Loved Tinordi. Great dman, he was big mean and tough. How tough? He already had can broken nose before this fight with Jason Smith. Excellent scrap. Smith held his own. Odd thing is that I followed Smith during his years playing in Regina and had no clue he was that good of a fighter.

That was the good old days right there! ;)

I seem to remember Kevin Hatcher's first fight in his rookie season with the Caps. Poor guy who picked on him didn't seem to know that Hatcher was gold gloves in Detroit. It ended rather fast. I'd love to see that one again :P

Yep Hatchet-man is another of the great ones (a fellow “Detroit Caps”) . . .
Couldn’t find a video of his first fight, but here’s one of the earliest I found

I definitely wanna catch him at an alumni event or somethin of the sort. I’d be damn cool to shake his hand and buy him a glass of Old No 7.

Nice scrap but Deswhatever just wasn’t good enough. More shots or not the ones Willie threw had more effect and damage

10-11-22
Or
23--16-42
Or
65-20-10
So, for those of us who kno[/size]w what I’m referring to., which is you’re favorite?[size=78%]
-
I'm not getting it?
10 - Kelly Miller? (I KNOW you didn't mean Shathispantz)
11 - Mike Gartner or Jeff Halpern
22 - Konowalchuck? Or Dino....or Knuble? (I had to look up Knuble, but knew the others)
Did Miller/Gartner/Dino actually play on a line together?
23 - Gould (ye old breaker of face) who I will always remember as 23 - or Kevin Kaminski (and I had to look that one up)
16 - Alan May - or Eric Fehr
42 - Ward is the only one I can remember
What you getting at?
If were talking pure toughness/character how about...
17-32-16 or 27 in the mix....(what is it with the angry Injuns, anyway?)
and add 3 and 4 on the blue line for good measure :snicker:

I’m getting at comparing the prominent third lines in modern Caps history
Ulf Dahlen (10)/ Mike Greire
Halpern (11)
Konowchuk (22)
Or
Chimera (25)
Fehr (16)
Ward (25)
Or
Bura (65)
Eller (20)
Connolly (10)
My point is to challenge that “65-20-10” as just three players that don’t have stats to play on the “top two lines” and provide little to nothing else.
The other two groups, where the backbone of The Caps during that time. They played against, and shutdown the other teams top scorers, and scored when needed,scored a goal when needed.
That is what the trio of players, that trends call them “3rd lines”, are designed to be. and most effectively utilized as.
So regardless of the 12yos that love a name like Burakovsky, the soccer moms that like the Lars, or the hippsters that like a player with a low salary, or that they where there when Holtby and Ovie won a Cup, they individually, or more importantly, as a group, are no where near the other two groups,
These trios, that provided most of the wins in there time have been forgotten and dismissed by The Capitals, while Lars is praised?!!
Oh yeah, his name was more in focus groups of soccer moms then Jeff or Eric
It is not only disgraceful, but irresponsible and naive that these six/seven players have been dismissed, forgotten, or disregarded because the other 3 where on a team that(somehow) won a Cup inspite of them.

The biggest bullshit suspension ever.

Had Campbell spent more time in the weight room, he wouldn’t of been so “hurt”.
Also, this worked so well with the buslkshit Crosby=Hero Ovie=Villan marketing scheme of the time

Two of Willy's suspensions rival OVs for biggest bullshit suspension ever,
and now we can call Willy a career killer, Oleksiak hasn't been right since

Chandler Stephenson has 8 goals for the season. Five goals in 16 games for the Knights. Good for him!

Good for Stepho. Better that he's not in our division and likely won't bite us.
Glad for him. Good to see change has been good for him...he was pretty stagnant here
