Looks like it's put up or shut up time for Vrana.. We already heard about him getting less ice in the 3rd period, last game. Looks like he's been dropped to line 4 now. Hopefully he gets the message! (And hopefully when Kuznetsov gets back, he feels the same heat)
Asked about Sheary on the second line and Vrana on the fourth, Laviolette said: "...I think that creates a good environment where you have to compete for your ice time, and make sure that you're doing your thing on the ice. And for me Conor has."

when Sammy comes back they should send him to Hershey for conditioning, he hasn't played in two weeks and was shakey then. They do need to let Anderson play a game or two to keep his skills up in case he is really needed

Damn...somebody's on it today.. and BEFORE NOON!!!
Must be snow boredom.
Thank you as always

Amen, and Amen

Sucks for Vrana, but good for the team. Needed some accountability and glad to see it (the accountability). I'd much rather see Vrana finding his space and scoring 30g a year.
Vrana's not a 4th line guy...so that's just kind of a waste, but hopefully he finds whatever spark is missing.

Let's GO CAPS!

We need the "steal the puck from the defender right in front of the opposing net and bury it" Vrana from Buffalo, not the "Take an unecessary late game stick penalty" Vrana.

Is this allowed with the current structure and Tax squad?

I would think it depends on Sammys contract more than anything else

someone must've told the Bruins coaching staff about Halak and the Caps

You could see this coming because of the way Vrana is playing. He has been almost invisible.
I don't think putting him on the 4th line is the answer. He isn't that type of player. I think the answer is scratching him. Other players have earned that spot on the ice. Vrana hasn't.
-
I don't like seeing Orlov in and Siegenthaler out. Knew it would happen though.
-
Quick, someone tell em' the game started! :raspberry:
-
The Rat took himself out. :snicker: Couldn't have hapened to a nicer guy. :smirk:
-

Yep, what he said.
-
Is Vrana gonna keep the 4th line on the bench? If they've been out, I haven't seen em'..

They had at least 1 shift.
-
Hags!
-
HAGFISH!!!!!
-
If that gets overturned, they better have a different angle than they're showing on tv.. Don't want to hear no "it appears" or "we think" bullshit.
-
I don't think there is anything conclusive to overturn this

They must have had a better view of it.

Bullshit call.

Justice!

Big Z!!!

Bullshit call..
Zed!!!

Sprong was sprung!!!

Sprong!
-
if the league has a better camera angle than what they are giving the fans they really need to share it, then the fans might not feel like the NHL continues to fuck this team
-
Liking Chaz.
That Sprong fella is a bitof a revelation.... :clap:

That's what Im sayin.. Show that shit, definitively! They must have a shot straight down the blue line. Not sure why TV wouldn't have access.

Gary wants the league to have aa much, if not all control of the outcomes of games.
I say hell with the cameras, LIVE MIC THE REFS. Including the pre-game & intermission meetings. Thats were the shit happens
-
GREAT PK! :clap:
-
great pass from Vrana
Carlson PPG
:)

:O=

Still not sure what a "tv timeout" has to do with not being able to change lines?
-

They treat that play the same as an icing call. Meaning no line change and no tv timeout.
I think the linesman blew the call though. Pretty sure Dillon touched that puck.
-
It's because vanecek didn't play the puck, if a "shot" is taken on the other side centre and the goalie covers it. You are unable to change your players for the ensuing faceoff.
-
Enough of the back peddle.. Lets go! Too much time in the wrong zone.
-
We eased off far too much that period. :-(

You're right if he did touch it. I couldn't tell in real time or from the replay. I don't think Joe or Craig knew what the hell was going on and that's why there wasn't much of a replay.
-

Since they want to review everything these days, icing's (and whatever the fuck they call that) should be added to the list. Same penalty if you blow the review. But that's 2 games in a row now we've given up a goal due to not being able to change.

:O= :O=
:clown: :poop:
-
Serves us right for being too casual again. :(
-
Can't hold a lead to save our life. Get a 2 or 3 goal lead then spend the rest of the game giving them back. :clown: :poop:
-
that was weak
-
Refs with the win
For Fucks Sake let em trow without counting to three & jumping on.
-
No Wilson and on the PK. What could go wrong here? :wackysmile:
-
Lets also keep losing defensive zone draws! That's always fun! :)
-
standing around playing switch
:O= :O= :O=

Calling it now. We lose in regulation. :clown: :poop:

shit 3rd

The Caps started running around right after Wilson got in the fight. This shows that we need Wilson on the ice.

Been shit since the 30 minute mark.

Easy call, Miick.
-
1st regulation loss of the year :)
-
All I can say is, HOW IN THE GOD DAMN FUCKING HELL DID WE FUCK THAT UP SO BAD?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!
-
Been shit since the 30 minute mark.
Yup. We got lazy and complacent.
-
When do we play the Flyers? :rofl: Lavi needs to address the 30 minute efforts.. That or lobby to play the Sabres more often. :smirk:
-
Caps are off the next two days. Thursday's lines could be interesting
looks like Sheary got hurt too
-
:-| :yawn: :huh: :raised-eyebrow:
-
Well it was gonna happen sooner or later but we gave that game away.
That and we could have used Hags goal.
I thought the play was offsides but also thought there was no evidence shown to overturn it. The NHL just needs to fix that while off sides challenge rule. There should be a limit as to how far you can rewind to a bs offsides.
If the play is in the zone for x amount of time or x # of players touch the puck after the “offsides” then it should no longer be able to be challenged.
Would be nice to see them play a 60 minute effort

I still wanna see a coach release the lines in alphabetical order (ie LW- Backstrom C- Carlson RW- Chara), just to ses heads explode :lmao:
Of, course that wouldnt be where they actually played, but none the less, itd be awesome 😎
