I agree and I am playing grammar "Nazi" - not cop. We have to make it politically incorrect as well as just annoying.


although in today's political society...not sure where Nazi lies compared to cop

Good move by McMichael taking someone to the box with him. Coach won't give him any ice anyway.


Feels like we'll be lucky to get a point tonight. Pretty dominant first 20 went to their head (as usual) and now we look flat.  :-\

I'd say to hope to stay out of the box in the 3rd, but we're starting in it anyway.  On a total bogus call.

One good period and then two periods of dogshit.  They have no stamina to stay with these younger teams.  Ottawa had 38 of the last 50 shots on goal.  I can't see any way this team makes the playoffs.

One of the clearest and most prevalent circumstances that illustrate the principle of the "tipping point" is that of the aging sports team.  It's happened over and over again in sports history.


Will this year's Capital team be another exhibit A of this principle?  Stay tuned -- but early returns don't look good.

OOF.  I fell asleep between 2nd and 3rd.  (watching late)  sounds like it was a good time to nap.


someone said we look tired and slow.  Well, we ARE tired and slow.


I think Brown and Strome were excellent pick ups, but not enough to save a sinking ship.


Keumper is generally solid and has very decent career GAA even with some mediocre teams so pretty sure that's why they went for him.  He is basically solid.  He's not spectacular and not that great save kind of guy.  I was not overly impressed with him in the SC run last year, but he is okay.
He's had some really bad luck with some goals this year that you can't fault him, but his 5-hole has been an issue along with some rebound control issues.  Hoping he solidifies with those issues.


We rely on Mr Norris a lot and he has been doo-doo this year.  We are about 4 years past the time to trade him.


Looking at our aging roster - pretty much what ALTA said - to be expected.
