So are you saying he was saying....


It was too early to bring him up and they did it anyway to protect OVI


or


when they brought him up it was too early for him to effectively protect Ovi?

I like Vrana on the PP.

1. It offers another goal scoring threat on the opposite side of Ovi, giving PKs another scorer to think about.

2. Kuzy is a clown who thinks going 1 v 4 on zone entries is a good idea.

3. Vrana has speed. It brings me back to the days where Mojo was on our PP and responsible for carrying the mail. It was reasonably successful because of Mojo's speed, not because of Mojo's ability to dangle through 4 defenders. Hopefully Vrana will be able to take advantage of his speed some more to get us better entries.

I hope our PP rises to the occasion and doesn't just go soft under pressure

This power play can’t suck enough. The Canes will get two more PPs before it’s done.

NOT A WORD from Joe B or Locker on Carlson’s PATHETIC PP pass, and ensuing APATHETIC attitude that followed, as  he can’t even bring the energy to halfway chase the guy, on what should have never been a breakaway in the first place!!


 I’ve been a little tight lipped on Carlson, here,  in the last couple weeks,  since ranting about them a while back on his defensive skills.


 Caps record 6 and 6 in the last 12 games, and there’s been a lot of crappy play from a lot of players. Plenty to go arouns, to be sure! But CARLSON has been extremely BAD in all phases of defense, not hitting, HORRIBLE passing, stupid stretch passing, getting embarrassingly BURNED, out skated and EVERYTHING else!!


Joe B and Locker,Have had plenty of “general” statements about the Caps lack luster perform as of late,  but hardly a SINGLE NEGATIVE Comment,  in the last 10 to 12 games directed at some of Carlson’s even most OBVIOUS blatant fuck ups!!


 There’s been a lot of bullshit blame to go around, don’t get me wrong!  But Johnny Q Norris has been one of the biggest black eye negatives, during this low phase!!


 Shifting gears, I hope we get to win tonite, and I hope Samsonov gets his especially

pregame interview with Holts about Willy “you could tell early on he was meant to be a captain in this league, and almost does that here”

We all want Ovi to get a hatty :)


Of course we all want the Caps to win, but if we can win and get Ovi a hatty why not? I don't think you can be a Caps fan and NOT want Ovi to score more.


That said, yeah there's a point where it becomes too forced, and you just gotta make the simple play.

Pretty decent effort from the fellas all around.


Well....except for the power play.  Yeah, we got one, but 1 for 6 is not good, and moreover the other PP's were pretty pathetic.  (hate when my PP is pathetic)



Weird how it works when you score first.  We should try this more often.


Glad to see Sammy get a shutout, and he was pretty damn sharp the whole game.  One goofy lucky play that probably should have scored, but sometimes it bounces your way.  His play has been pretty damn terrific this whole year.  Got to give the kid some more games.  Nothing against Holtby, but Sammy is 13-2 in 15 starts with .925 save % and 2.11 GAA.  How do you justify NOT playing a guy with these numbers regardless of who your other net minder is and his numbers?  BTW those figures put him 2nd in the entire NHL in GAA and 7th in save %.  Yeah, yeah, small sample size...well every game he plays the sample size increases and the numbers continue to get better.
Holtby has now dipped to .899 save % and 3.02 GAA.  Those are pretty horrible numbers for an elite goalie.  Those figures put him 54th out of 79 goalies in save % and 47th out of 79 in GAA.  (that's NOT good)


I would expect Holtby will get the next start either way, but hope Sammy gets one of the next two and like to see him get half the remaining games.  I don't think it will happen.
